I was embarrassed by that speech as were thousands of other conservatives.

I've heard from the media that there were people "embarrassed" by PJB's speech in 92. Never met a Republican or conservative in the flesh who was "embarrassed" by the speech, though. You're one unique individual if you were really "embarrassed" - and if you're really a "conservative." The polls showed a hike in support for the GOP right after the speech, so I think a lot of the dumping on the speech is media fantasy. For you to be pushing the liberal media line makes me suspect you're no conservative.

BS; I've never met one that WASN"T horrified by it. You're a great one to be telling people they're not conservatives.

And I don't believe one word you said about support for the GOP going up after that speech; if that were so, the GOP wouldn't have run like hell from Pat Buchanan.

It was THE nastiest, most mean-spirited, condescending speech I have ever heard.
