His answer was that it was an interesting idea-- like it was something that just popped up from a think tank and not from Dennis Haster, SOH, a guy who needs and deserves defending by the leader of the party-- and then he begged the American people to believe him when he says he won't raise taxes on them (basicly saying that, "I know you people think that's what this sales tax is about. Well, all you need to know is I won't support a tax increase," which isn't the same as saying the Hastert sales tax would lower taxes).
