THEN: Courtesy of the Daily Kos (www.dailykos.com) "I signed into law some of the toughest patient-protection laws in the nation [and] I support a patient bill of rights for all patients, similar to those already enacted in Texas." - George W. Bush, USA Today op-ed entitled "I Will Build On My Record," 8/17/00 (FYI - Bush didn't sign the law - he let it pass without his signature after the legislature forced him to accept it) NOW: "Before the Supreme Court, the Bush administration opposed the Texas law, instead joining two managed-care companies, Aetna Health Inc. and Cigna HealthCare of Texas Inc." Those two companies alone have given President Bush and the Republican Party more than $1.7 million since 2000. - NY Times, 6/21/04; Center for Responsive Politics
It's a good thing that G.W. bush is such a straight shooter. He's just a regular guy who tells it like it is. That's why it's refreshing to have him in office instead of a liberal politician type who only tells people what they want to hear.
