Team Clinton
The Starting Line-Up of the
Pro-Clinton
Press Corps
August 1, 1996

"When NBC Nightly News continues: in Washington, if they cut food stamps, who doesn't eat?" "Wasn't it the Republican Party under the leadership of Ronald Reagan especially, and George Bush who put the country in the fix it's now
in?" "Today, GOP congressional candidates were summoned to Washington and given a battle plan. However, as NBC's Lisa Myers tells us tonight, it is long on promises but short on sound premises." "During the course of the last two years they have passed the crime bill, they have made progress on the deficit, they have done things like the national volunteer service. Do you think that the press has been too fascinated in Washington and across the country with other ancillary issues like the feud between the President and some more conservative members of Congess, like Whitewater and Paula Jones?" "Some see the Simpson trial as symptomatic of the legal system's failure in this country, and in Washington, the Balanced Budget Amendment as political cowardice." "A lot of people said [there was] just too much red meat there [in the speech]. You gave the impression that if you're not a white, heterosexual, Christian, anti-abortion, anti-environment, you're somehow not welcome in the Republican Party." "There are many people in the Republican Party who believe that the Repub- lican National Convention in Houston, at which you were a prominent part, was simply too extreme, too strident in its positions, and they cite your speech and Pat Buchanan's speech as well."
