Those were different times. People were genuinly angry about Bush 41 breaking the no new taxes pledge and we were not at war at the time, Perot really struck a nerve with the public. I don't ever remember any time that I voted when so many people came out to vote as that year. One thing it showed any candidate is the American people are pretty patient, except when someone lies to us.
Well, except if you're a Democrat. I believe Rush keeps citing some article from the '90s that basically glorified Clinton for being such a good liar.
