Transcription
Questioning my opponents' positions on issues is not a personal attack. It's what primaries are all about. And if they don't think George Bush is going to do the same in November, they're wrong. Nowhere does a president have more power than when he's dealing with matters of foreign policy and arms control. That's not an opinion. That's a fact. And my two leading opponents in this race don't have a single day of foreign policy experience. That's a fact, too. Think about that when you vote April 19th. George Bush will.
