"Read my lips, no new taxes!"

"If you like your plan, you can keep your plan!"

The difference is what, exactly?

Well, there is one. In Bush's case, he was REALLY saying "Know New Taxes"... so, he was telling the truth! (Although, it's possible he was referring to there being NO Gnu taxes).

I fail to see how 0' was using Clintonspeak in his point about keeping your plan (? unless he was referring to ewe's keeping their plans, but I digress...).

The difference is Bush kept the promise twice and then on the third time he gave in and signed the third tax increase that the democrat congress sent him (after kicking back the first two).

The difference is President Bush was forced by the rats who held the majority to renege on his promise not to raise taxes.

That arrogant, lazy, lying pos of the Spite House was not forced by anyone to change his mind. It was he and the rats who forced the unaffordable healthcare down our throats. Also remember the comment of Piglosi. "We must pass the healthcare so we know what's in it.

Well, for starters, GHWBush didn’t propose the tax increases, but only acceded to them later under a Dem threat (they controlled both houses of Congress at the time), to cut funding for troops in the field in Desert Shield. He also extracted limits to budget growth, which caused Dem conniptions for years.

Obama on the other hand was being false from the beginning, with solid plans to get private plans cancelled.

Well, the difference is the first was uttered in good faith and was blocked by Demoncrat obstructionism.

The second was uttered in bad faith and was always intended to be a lie.
