Remeber at that time H.W. Bush was trying to get support for the Gulf war. He needed the Rats ...basically the Rats said they'd support the war in return for putting taxes back on the table of budget negotiations. He did, and they sandbagged him. Every one of the weasels ran on the platform of "Bush broke his No-New-Taxes" pledge during that year, and Bush was basically left to twist in the wind, paving the way for the Sink-Meister in '92. I think GW has learned the lesson and he's not falling for it.
Ok ...that was a little off topic, but I can't stand seeing the "Bush broke his No New Taxes" pledge without setting the record straight. Eight years of seing the White House turned into a septic tank still has me a little steamed.
Thanks for reminding me of that, I keep forgetting. Wasn't that also the same time that Algore sold his vote for the most TV exposure?
