I would have respected him for voting against that bill, for sure, regardless of the reasons. The bill is not a tax cut like the W bill was a tax cut -- it's a mishmash of ambiguity and nonsense that as someone who has to play tax lawyer often, and at least has to understand tax structuring in the private equity space, it makes my head hurt. If he had opposed it for the reasons the deficit hawks had initially expressed misgivings (which I assume are conservative reasons by your definition), I would have loved him for it because others might have been inspired to jump on board and kill it.
