Didn't say Bush 41. Said a RINO. Bush 41 wasn't my favorite in the Reps then, but he was certainly better than Gore/Bentzen. My statement was a hypothetical. I would vote for any conservative Democrat over a pro-choice RINO. I would not vote for a Giuliana, Rice, or other pro-choice Republican.
The problem was it wasn't a hypothetical case for Miers. Gore was seeking the 1988 nomination to run against Bush 41. Now we learn that Miers may have given money to Clinton in 91-92.
