Clinton won by surfing the middle. Perhaps you helped his cause by voting for Perot. Clinton won again despite his tax increases and support of gun control.

Clinton won because of "read my lips" and a 1989 gun ban by Bush from out of the blue. I'll leave those as the strongest reasons why Bush lost support from conservatives.

Clinton downplayed his liberal side including gun control and ran as a moderate.

You are right, and for Bush to break his campaign promise to "support existing gun law" would give the Dems all the ammo they need to compare him to Daddy.

Let the House kill this ban.

Clinton was elected by a coalition of Democrats who voted for him and Conservatives who didn't vote for Bush. They let the "Read my lips" thing cloud their better judgement.
Ross Perot drew misguided disgruntled Conservatives and Independents who normally vote Republican. Result: Eight years of direct infection of the fabric of America and many years of indirect residue from those 8 years.
Don't blame those of us who voted for Bush, but we, too, are the victims of your mistake.
