Man you do believe what the media tells you. Don't you?
Bush lost the 1992 election because he failed to offer a plan to fix the economy. Raising taxes did not hurt Bush. Clinton ran on a plan to fix the economy by raising taxes some more. He got elected and then did raise taxes. It took Al Gores vote to get the Clinton tax increase passed. Clinton got re-elected. Clinton raised taxes and lied. Whee!! No big deal. All Bush needed was to show he had a plan to fix the economy and he would have won re-elecion. Bush Sr. could have, as Clinton did, propose to raise taxes to fix the economy. Bush could have proposed cutting taxes to fix the economy He could have proposed offering virgin sacrefices to fix the economy. That election was about what Bill Clinton said is was. It was the economy, STUPID. If the economy is bad and the president does nothing to try to fix it, he gets defeated. Bush felt the economy would fix itself as it did. But truth had nothing to do with winning elections.
If getting caught lying to voters cost politicians elections, then Bill Clinton would never have been elected.
Lying is not a political sin. Fornicating interns is not a political sin. Selling secrets to the Chinese is not a political sin. Failing to do something about a bad economy is a political sin. As FDR proved, a president does not have to fix the economy, he just has to look like he is fixing the economy. Failure to try to fix a bad ecnomy has and will agains cost elections.
You need to proceed to the clue box and pick one up.
It is to Conservatives, if you think the people that vote for Republicans and the people that vote for Democrats are the same then perhaps it is you who need a clue.
