Your ignorance is overwhelming.
Remember the Contract With America? It was a list of very conservative ideals outlined in great detail which the Republicans ran on in 1994. It was in direct response to the miserable failure of the Bush administration from '88-'92 which culminated in his loss to Clinton, a loss that came to be because Bush did not govern as a conservative, and enough honest-to-goodness conservatives withheld their votes as a consequence. The GOP learned its lesson, the CWA was born, and they stomped the Democrats in the '94 elections.
The lesson works, but it requires the sort of intestinal fortitude not found in people like you.
Bush 41 lost because enough " conservatives " decided to take as whole clothe, the propaganda heaped upon Bush 41, held it against him, that he dared to try to work with the Dems and then was used and abused by them, the never ending, mindless rantings about the " READ MY LIPS " thing, the abjectly gullible believing the snakeoil, that Perot was spooning out and, as is often the case, enough people deciding that 12 years of one party having the White House was too much. Historically, it is exceedingly RARE, for a V.P. to win the presidential election and then winning re-election.
Bush 41's loss and Clinton's unConstitutional tax hike, made enough people angry, so that they took the House away from the Dems. Yes, the CONTRACT WITH AMERICA helped, but a fat lot of good that did, when all is said and done. And as far as " teaching the GOP a lesson ", the " lesson " you imagine it taught, wasn't really taught at all and your saying so, doesn't make it a fact. ;^)
