- Well, actually, no. I did, however, pillory Bush for making the
- promise, breaking it (due to changing circumstances, apparently) and
- then whining about how "Congress made me do it".

- I am and will. Pity you don't seem to be able to manage the same
- apologist and uncritical support.

-
- Yes, and it helps that the Bush Administration 'discovered' tens of
- billions of dollars that they somehow managed to 'miss' mentioning
- before, too.

-
- You know, I keep looking at all these examples various conservatives
- hunt up about Bill Clinton's 'lies' and 'waffling', and you know what
- I find? I find that they either weren't listening the first time
- around or are misinterpreting now.

-
- No, I voted for him based on RECORD. I will judge his performance
- using that same criterion.
