One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called "weasel words."

The eighth commandment reads, "Thou shalt not steal." It does not read, "Thou shalt not steal from the rich man." It does not read, "Thou shalt not steal from the poor man." It reads simply and plainly, "Thou shalt not steal."

Our government, National and State, must be freed from the sinister influence or control of special interests.

We must drive the special interests out of politics.
