The Democraps of the past were more trustworthy than they are today. So I give the Gipper a pass.
But post Clinton their honesty went 100% into the crapper.
Anyone who depends on their word for anything is a shill. As the saying goes "fool me once, shame on you,...fool me twice, shame on me".
And I might add....anyone who depends on "words" written or spoken emanating from liberal politicians or liberal judges...is a fool.
i.e. Judge Blackmun in Roe v. Wade. "emanations from the penumbras of the Constitution".
After that, all their decisions became suspect.
Scalia said: "words have meaning". Unfortunately they are now meaningless when coming from a liberal.
Agree with you totally.
