As part of the AHC, Bush agreed to a tax increase as part of an overall budget deal during the build-up of the Persian Gulf War of Fall '90. And he faced a Democratic Congress. I'm not making this up. These are the real facts.
Is there some creative / straightforward way he could have gone to the people, especially what could have been realistically argued to be a sample and representative group of Republican primary voters, and have been released from his promise?
