I will remember that Bush, who I certainly trusted on judges, nominated a woman who, while she might have well been OK, didn’t even have constututional knowledge sufficient to answer a written questionare.

I will always remember GHWB (who I trusted more than I will ever trust Rudy) saying, "Read my lips, no new taxes." And then breaking the promise the first chance he got.

I will never again believe a candidate who promises something that is totally inconsistent with statements they have made in the past (remember it was GHWB who had once ridiculed Reagan's economic campaign platform as "voodoo economics").

I will always remember GHWB (who I trusted more than I will ever trust Rudy) saying, "Read my lips, no new taxes." And then breaking the promise the first chance he got.

I also recall GWB promising to deliver "compassionate conservatism."

And then, unfortunately, keeping that promise. With a friggin' vengence.

So you have to look at where they depart from their past, but also where they are being all-too consistent with their past.
