Every one of the proposals I've talked about tonight he's called a risky scheme over and over again. It is the sum of his message, the politics of the roadblock, the philosophy of the stop sign. If my opponent had been at the moon launch, it would have been a risky rocket scheme. Another burst of laughter. If he had been there when Edison was testing the lightbulb, it would have been a risky anti-candle scheme.
Hysterical belly laughs.
Soon, Republicans in Congress plan to send the president another bite-size tax cut, such as the death tax. And no doubt Clinton and Gore will scurry once again to a well-thumbed copy of Roget's Thesaurus, rummaging for three new little words with which to frighten voters. As a public service, so Gore and Clinton can return to the people's business, I've done a little rummaging myself. Well, we'll have to settle for ho-hum words like policy, plan, design, course of action, approach, stroke of policy, proposed line of action, program, agenda. Try it yourself at home kids.
