“In 1980, GHWB spend months calling Reagan’s tax cut proposals “voodoo economics.” Then he had eight years to see how effective Reagan’s policies were. So in 1988, when running for president, he promised, “Read my lips: no new taxes.” Then a couple years later he said it was necessary to raise taxes.

We should not trust a person with a lifelong record of liberalism simply because they say what they think we want to hear during a political campaign.”

Allow me to add to your great comment here...

G HW Bush also got the NRA endorsement when he ran the first time. Shortly before he ran for his 2nd term he got pissed at the NRA, tore up his membership card and said he wanted nothing more to do with them.

Well, he got his wish. No endorsement and he lost!

No Republican has EVER been elected without the NRA endorsement and that is something else Rooty and Romney will never get!

You can’t trust liberals!

Actually, when the NRA endorsed Reagan in 1980 it was the first time that they had ever endorsed anyone. However, prior to that, there was no real concern about Second Amendment rights being infringed, so your excellent point is well taken.

Is that true? Where can I read that?
