my recollection of the “read my lip” happening was that the Democrats made a deal that they would cut spending if Bush would sign tax legislation. It was to be by a certain ratio, something like $3 in cuts to $1 in taxes. I believe Ted Kennedy was in on the deal. Bush, wanting to cut spending agreed. They immediately sent a bill for taxes to the WH, Bush signed, Then the Democrats reneged on the deal and refused to cut spending, and the rest is history.
The moral of the stories is never trust a Democrat. The are deceivers of the first order.
In 1953, J. Edgar Hoover published a book entitled “Masters of Deceit”. It was a narrative about the communist party of the USA. It explained their origins, their tactics and their goals. When reading, if you substitute the democrat party for the CPUSA, it reads like a narrative of what the democrats have been doing since the 1960’s.
George H.W. Bush is a good man, but he didn’t understand the demonrats. Neither did his son. Neither did Romney.
Very few in the repub party recognize the evil that the democrats are. That is why we are in such a pile of rotting kimchee. The party that is supposed to be standing up to the walking evil believes that they can compromise with them and strike some kind of deal with them.
So here we go down the evil bunny trial lead by very evil people with the “opposition” believing that agreeing with them on certain issues will win them popularity among the media and the uneducated masses.
Boys and girls, we are screwed.
