Let me add that I have a mind of my own and #41's tax increase didn't bother me. He was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. At that point it was a checkmate. He made the wrong decision but it didn't bother me much. In my view, Bush's mistakes have been bigger and for pure politcal reasons....most disturbingly, for selfish political reasons, not for the good of the party or conservative cause. For a family so famously demanding of loyalty, they need to practice what they preach in that regard.

Bump. And don't forget the oathe of office, the promise to faithfully 'preserve, protect and defend the United States, and the Constitution...'
