	I really have no idea about Bush I and Iran but I think
someone did do that deal.

	Well it started with Rutherford B. Hayes when to get the
electoral votes he needed he made a deal to pull the Federal troops
out of the former Confederate states.

	Some Republicans did not get the word and continued to
support emancipation sic Earl Warren in the 1960s and my parents
were Republicans based on the idea that it was the party of
Lincoln but it was merely the front for the Monied Interests.
