I have one line for Bush supporters. "If it ain't broke then don't try to fix it". Rubin talked Clinton out of tax cuts eight years ago and it brought us 8 years of excellence. Whatever compassion Bush may have (and it's hard to tell what's real or just rhetoric) has to be balanced against his record. He has clearly favored the rich, the oil business and special interests in his state. He had no choice because they were the ones who put him in power in the first place. He never earned his job, he was given it on a silver platter. In fact he didn't even want to be government. He wanted to be baseball commissioner but was turned down for the job. Frankly I think all this "compassion" talk is about as convincing as the minorities on-stage at the GOP convention. It's a mask. True the Bushes were all originally rockefellar moderates who were pro-choice and so forth but all that has changed. Compasion is hardly a priority anymore. The tax-cut scheme itself is enough to prove that. Who benefits the most? The rich. Trickle-down economics. or voodoo economics as Bush Sr. used to say when running against reagan.
