Bush ran on reforming campaign finance though without infringing the individual right to speech.

And he signed into law a bill that infringed upon the free speech rights of Americans.

How does that not constitute a betrayal, pray tell?

It was and is a huge mistake.

Men make mistakes. I think Bush will see that as his biggest mistake. But betrayal on a campign promise? I don't think so. An affront to the constitution? Definitely.

Bush signed that garbage in 2002. Did you vote for him in 2004? I did because although I was even more exercised over that than you are over Harriet Miers, he overwhelmingly delivered everything he promised to within his power and because he has been excellent vis a vis hunting and killing jihadists.

So, if you voted for Bush in 2000 and then again in 2004, either you could not have been betrayed or betrayal doesn't mean much to you.
