Ahhhhhhhhhhhh ... good quotes ; however, NOT what I asked for, at all. Nowhere, in those quoted remarks, did candidate Bush claim that he was actually going to do anything about making government smaller . He did say, and get passed, a tax cut.

No, I don't have a " selective memory ". Neither do I take as gospel, something which is only inferred. :-)

OK lets parse words...yes... someone tell us what the meaning of "is" is. That doesn't get by for me.

inferred:To conclude from evidence; to reason from circumstance; surmise.

I guess I'll just stick with my original opinion and you keep yours.
