The Reform Party had nothing to do with it.
Bill Clinton owes his win to Geroge Bush Sr.
Bush's well-publicized "Read my lips" lie cost him the trust of the people.
Clinton won because Bush lied.
Don't start with the Science Fiction, I'm not politically naive by a long shot. The Reform Party had everything to do with it.
Yes, "read my lips" was a big mistake, the Democrats in Congress made damned sure that he had to eat his words, and I still voted for Bush...I knew what was going to happen, and it did...twice.
In retrospect, what would have hurt this nation less, four more years of Bush Sr., or eight years of Clinton?
