Fred was sponsor and voted for McLame-Feingold, the most destructive piece of legislation in my memory and Jorge Bush signed it.
And unlike, McLame, Bush, Huckabee, Giuliani, Thompson calls his support a mistake, and is campaigning to rescind it.
1. Fred has since said that the law has been interpreted and enforced in a way that was not intended, and he said that he'd have voted against it if he knew this at the time. In other words, he had the decency, honesty and humility to admit an error, and the wisdom to learn from it. Kind of like Reagan, who signed an abortion legalization bill in CA, and later came to regret and renounce that decision.
Reagan later worked hard to reverse the effects of that law he signed. Perhaps Fred, exhibiting similar regrets, honesty and wisdom, will do the same with CFR.
2. Jorge isn't on the ballot - thankfully. He assuredly wouldn't get my vote.
