Bill Clinton: “First of all, I think the Republican right's being too hard on Governor Bush. I mean, you know, I don't understand why…”

“First of all, I think the Republican right's being too hard on Governor Bush. I mean, you know, I don't understand why they're being so mean to him about this. He has stuck with them on--he was for that tax cut that they wanted. His main health care adviser sponsored that breakfast with the House leadership yesterday designed to help kill the Patients' Bill of Rights. He stuck with them and the NRA on the gun issue. You know, he's for privatizing Social Security. I don't see why they're so hard on him, but I will say this, I personally appreciated what he said. Raising taxes on poor people is not the way to get out of this bind we're in. But I think they're being way too hard on him and unfair. AFL-CIO Endorsement”
