Let me be the bridge to an America that only the unknowing call myth.  Let me the bridge to a time of tranquillity, faith and confidence in action, and to those who say it was never so, that America has not been better, I say you are wrong.  And I know because I was there and I have seen it and I remember.\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Bob Dole\u003cbr/\u003eThen he began to address one of the main issues in the race for the White House - the economy.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd a government that ceases control of the economy for the good of the people ends up ceasing control of the people for the good of the economy.  \u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Bob Dole\u003cbr/\u003eHe accused those running the government of being captive to elitists \"who never sacrificed, never suffered.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIt is demeaning to the nation that within the Clinton administration, a core of the elite who never grew up, never did anything real, never sacrificed, never suffered and never learned should have the power to fund with your earnings their dubious and self serving schemes. \u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Bob Dole\u003cbr/\u003eAnd the criticism of the Clinton administration continued.\u003cbr/\u003eHe promised to introduce a fairer tax code.\u003cbr/\u003eWorking with Jack Kemp and the Republican congress, I will not be satisfied until we have reformed our entire tax code and made it fairer and flatter and simpler for the American people.\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Bob Dole\u003cbr/\u003eDole said Clinton raised taxes after promising to cut them.\u003cbr/\u003eThe principle involved here is time honoured and true.

The right and obligation of a sovereign nation to control its borders is beyond debate.  We should not have here a single illegal immigrant, but the question of immigration is broader than that and let me be specific.  A family from Mexico arrived here this morning legally has as much right to the American dream as the direct descendants of the founding fathers.  \u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Bob Dole\u003cbr/\u003eThe candidate lambasted America's rising crime wave:\u003cbr/\u003eWe are a nation paralysed by crime and it is time to end that in America.\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Bob Dole\u003cbr/\u003eHe also said Clinton had cut the military too deeply  and undermined U-S credibility by placing American troops under United Nations command.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd when I am president, every man and every woman in our armed forces will know the president is commander in chief and not Boutros Boutros Ghali or any other U-N secretary general.\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Bob Dole\u003cbr/\u003eAt the end of his speech, he addressed his chosen campaign theme: trust.\u003cbr/\u003eWe are the party that trusts in the people.
