"As one of our colleagues recently put it, this Republican pledge of no new taxes is pure Bushlips. Its Bushlips when the president says No new taxes and sends a budget requiring the Finance Committee to raise $20 billion in new revenues: $15 billion in taxes and $5 billion in user fees."
"[A] fellow from Texas can tell the difference between grass-roots and AstroTurf."
