Possibly, probably an election gimmick; like his
lie of: "read my lips: no new taxes."
The Bushes were never conservatives.
I did not think much of them
and I
disapproved when Reagan chose to balance his own conservatism
with Bush, who leaned further to the left than Reagan.
He was not a good choice for VP.
Tho I voted for the Bushes, to avoid worse alternatives,
I felt a
perverted brief satisfaction when Clintion defeated Bush.
Bush
deserved to get rejected.
