Gramm: taunts won’t hurt
by Maureen Carmody
Battalion Staff
—" Ex-Democrat Phil Gramm
lid he wasn’t too concerneci
ith the verbal attacks of Rep.
ill Alexander, D-Ark., and
thei House Democrats who
ave accused him of being a de-
dtful “double dealer” who
jied for the Reagan adminis-
•adon.
“1 don’t take their attacks per-
Rally,” Gramm said. “I know
ley were told to write these let-
:rsby House leaders. Abraham
™*^\incoln once said, ‘If you have
^ 't ori K view's you are going to
ave strong enemies.’”
Gramm said House leaders
HIHw'ilhout any success to tell
Brajim how' to vote in Washington.
iB^low they’re trying to tell the
k |^)le in the district how to
ate.
:are2,M “1 suspect they will be just as
area;! nsuccessful at this,” he said. “I
i last year,I OKt believe name calling ever
Hpeen successful.”
las been!) Gramm also said he thinks the
ng people lalonal Democratic Party
anathe«®s to think out its campaign
edict rategy a little more.
:k to wort ‘‘1 lie strategy by the National
ichargddemocratic leadership is to try
ireattort) fragment the vote to produce
:s in para runoff,’’ he said. “I don’t think
ir Otaris strategy is w'ell thought out.
Gramm-l don’t think that many people
d, woukll ill go to vote on Saturday (Feb.
dent loam I) who aren’t sure w ho they’ll
dollar!, fte for.”
ni is el«f There are two main issues the
Republican candidate Phil Gramm
people will consider when vot
ing, Gramm said. The first issue
is whether a congressman
should vote for the people or for
the leadership of his party. The
second is the issue of balancing
the budget and taking care of
the deficit.
Gramm said he thinks he has
a big advantage in this race.
“I live in the district, went to
school in the district, and taught
at A&M for eight years,” he said.
“My wife taught at A&M for
eight years and my children
were born here. We know the
people. This produces a type of
grass root.”
Gramm said he first looked to
the Democratic Party not only
because he came from a family
of Democrats, but because he
thought he could promote
Democratic ideals.
“I feel my views and my re
cord are perfectly in line with
the founder of the Democratic
Party, Thomas Jefferson,” he
said.
Gramm said the tw'o most im
portant items that need atten
tion are the economy and the
prevention of the government’s
waste of the laborer.
Gramm said he remains con
servative toward the issues of
abortion and prayer in school.
“The issue that I have voted
on is federal funding of abortion
and I have consistently opposed
this,” he said. “I have also sup
ported prayer in public schools
as long as it is voluntary.”
Two considerations should be
made on the issue of tax credits
for parents with children in pri
vate school, Gramm said.
“Number one, I don’t think that
we can spare the revenues,” he
said. “And number two, I have
been concerned that such tax
credits might undermine sup
port for public schools.”
Gramm said his next cam
paign move will be this weekend.
He plans to take a bus tour of the
district and his wife, children
and friends will join him.
He also plans to visit shopping
malls and city halls with a coun
try 8c western band accompany
ing him to provide entertain
ment.
Gramm said he plans to visit
Texas A&M Tuesday.
“I’m really looking forward to
it,” he said. “I wonder how many
students realize I have spent a
third of my life at A&M? I’m
really proud of that.”
