“The core of America is not racist. It is not hostile to women. It is increasingly offended by gay bashing. Yet it abhors government waste. It believes strongly in fiscal responsibility such as balanced budgets. It is pro-economic growth. It is concerned about the environment. It is intolerant of people on welfare who disdain the notion of work. But it wants poor kids to have school lunches and it wants to spend money to have good schools. In sum, most Americans are sensible, good-hearted, and prudent. The issue, then, is whether there is a political party that can welcome them home.” PeopleWantBelieveHomeGovernmentKidsSchoolAmericaPoliticalGrowthPoorPartyResponsibilityIssuesEnvironmentEconomicGayWasteConcernedNotionCoreWelcomeBudgetsWelfareRacistLunchSensibleBalancedHostilePolitical PartiesOffendedHeartedEconomic GrowthPrudentDisdainGood SchoolGood HeartedBalanced BudgetFiscal ResponsibilitySchool LunchGovernment Waste Author:Paul Tsongas
