And what would you say if he broke it?

Signed the "no increase in taxes under any circumstances" pledge and broke it, you mean?

Well, since he didn't sign it - let's use McClintock as an example instead, okay? ('Cause he did, right?) If McClintock signed it and broke it, what I would say would depend on the reason he broke it, I think. If it was for something that could be avoided, it would make a big difference to me. If it was for something there was just no getting around, I think I could cut him some slack.

I hate taxes, and believe me, we pay MORE than our "fair share" of them...but I was not one of those who refused to vote for Bush 41 because he broke his pledge. Maybe I'm the odd one out here, but I think it's an offense I can forgive under certain circumstances.
