With all due respect, I think that's a terrible statement - in ANY context. Stick to your words whether right or wrong? You've never changed your mind? Dave, I don't think you understand........to a Rep. a tax cut can never be wrong. They come from the premise that taxes are always too high no matter what. Someone complained that Bush is proposing a tax cut without doing the necessary budgetary math. That's almost laughable...he could care less. If the Republicans had there way, the federal budget would be made up of two sections..one for defense and the other for social security. Everything else would be dismantled and SS would be reduced. Its a very egocentric viewing of the world. ted

With all due respect, I think that's a terrible statement - in ANY context. Stick to your words whether right or wrong? You've never changed your mind? Dave, you don't quite understand what I meant. Tax cuts may be a good thing (right) or a bad thing (wrong). Bush thinks they are right (and so do I). The "right or wrong" refers to the reader of that posts opinion about the tax cuts. Ted thinks the tax cuts are a bad policy. Also someone (Ted or Scumbria I think but I'm not sure) posted about the tax cuts hurting the president's ceredibility. My point was he is standing behind his promise and abandoning the tax cut would hurt is credibility. If Bush actually thinks the tax cuts are a bad idea for the country then he shouldn't have campaigned on the idea and he shouldn't continue to push them, but I really doubt that he thinks they are a bad idea. If he does I disagree with him. Tim
