Much worse than this incest is.
And that's what this town suffers from.
That's what this country suffers from.
And elections, they don't want them to have.
The other point that I make is that this, however, does not need to happen.
Because there is still a majority in this country.
It isn't a big majority.
But there is still a majority of people that understand the issue.
I think we'll become both Republicans and Democrats who will reject that kind of inward turning, who will reject this kind of permissiveness, this kind of softness, this kind of repudiation of all the basic ideals.
I don't think it's a small majority.
You don't?
I say that because I know it.
For 22 years, John Lane is always the leading boss of this majority.
I don't think it's that small a majority.
It's a divisive majority, and in many instances, it's not very aware.
The thing is, whatever that majority is, though, that majority, not in its worst moments, but first, that majority is rent-a-decent.
