Back in 1980, GHWB was running around calling Reagan’s proposed tax cuts “Voodoo Economics.” Then he spent eight years as VP going along with Reaganomics and presumably seeing how well it worked.
So, when he said, “Read my lips: No new taxes,” a lot of us thought that he had learned from Reagan and that we could trust him. But as soon as he got the job, he reverted back to his liberal ways and gave us a tax cut.
I’m not getting burned like that again. In 1988 I had a fair amount of trust for Bush, but I don’t trust Rooty one damn bit!
“I’m not getting burned like that again.”
That’s all well and good. But why do I still think that someone like Fred Thompson or Huckabee will end up betraying your trust?
Huckabee is off the reservation on immigration, and Thompson has been a fierce foe of the tort reform. He is very much a lawyer, and has lobbied for Planned Parenthood.
When you find the perfect candidate, please tell me who it is.
