Instead of semi-running on your Congressional career, renounce it all but completely. An ad from your Congressional campaign several years ago boasts of all the “vital” legislation you helped enact, including the renaming of the National Airport after Ronald Reagan. It attacks John Linder, your opponent, for having, in ten years in office, “enacted a total of only two laws” — and very minor ones at that.

Let us hope the current campaign not only sets a different tone, but repudiates the law-happy philosophy of your past. After all, watching this ad from a few years back, most libertarians and any conservatives actually interested in smaller government would probably conclude that the better man to vote for is John Linder.
