Transcription
Who is the real Dick Gephardt? Is he the candidate who says he's for working people, or the congressman who voted against the minimum wage? Is he the candidate who now says he'll help our senior citizens, or the congressman who voted with the drug companies against controlling health care costs, or the one whose first speech in Washington attacked abortion but who's now flipped and changed his views? Dick Gephardt. He'll say or do anything to get elected. What would he do after the election?
