The only reason the Democrats won in 1992 was because they managed to convince enough folks that they weren't rabid liberals anymore.

Correction.... the only reason they won in 1992 was Ross Perot working in cahoots with the bent one.

Add George H.W. Bush reneguing on his "No new Taxes" pledge and I think we have it covered.

I agree that he made a mistake there, but that is not my point. I believe that if Perot was not in the race, klinton would have never won, no way, no how, no matter what President Bush might have pledged.

Remeber at that time H.W. Bush was trying to get support for the Gulf war. He needed the Rats ...basically the Rats said they'd support the war in return for putting taxes back on the table of budget negotiations. He did, and they sandbagged him. Every one of the weasels ran on the platform of "Bush broke his No-New-Taxes" pledge during that year, and Bush was basically left to twist in the wind, paving the way for the Sink-Meister in '92. I think GW has learned the lesson and he's not falling for it.

Ok ...that was a little off topic, but I can't stand seeing the "Bush broke his No New Taxes" pledge without setting the record straight. Eight years of seing the White House turned into a septic tank still has me a little steamed.
