If reality dictates you must move to the center why does history prove otherwise?

Why did Bush senior have a hard time in '88 against a liberal and then get embarrassed by someone who only got 43% of the vote in 1992?

Why did Dole lose after the Republicans launched it's list of very conservative rightwing promises that gave them both bodies of Congress? Oh I forgot, they moved to the center while ignoring the promises made which gave the GOP Congress to begin with.

Silly me, and I thought 60 million voters who elected GWB would at least get some taste of private accounts from SS. No more getting suckered again by these Republican wimps until they prove and fight for what they promise.

___The voters thought they were voting for a third Reagan term and Dukakis ran an inept campaign.




and then get embarrassed by someone who only got 43% of the vote in 1992?

____Because Perot drained off the white male vote that traditionally goes Republican.

Why did Dole lose after the Republicans launched it's list of very conservative rightwing promises that gave them both bodies of Congress? Oh I forgot, they moved to the center while ignoring the promises made which gave the GOP Congress to begin with.

____Bush is not a centrist, but a straight conservative campaign would have ended up electing a Democrat...indeed, without the Waron Terror issue, Kerry would have won...Americans are NOT conservatives...why can't Freepers
get that through their heads??

_____The public doesn't seem to understand private accounts and Bush can't seem to make them...so the GOP pols are looking at 2006 and worrying that it will be a repeat of 1986 when social security gave the Senate back to the Democrats,
