What did the GOP learn from '92?

'92 was a voter problem, not a party problem. Misguided voters got mad at one Republican and replaced him with the Clintons and the Clintons restocked key bureaucratis positions and the courts with Liberals/Socialists. We still don't know the full extent of the damage.

"'92 was a voter problem, not a party problem."

One of the main issues of '92 was NAFTA. Bush campaigned for NAFTA saying that it would cure whatever ailed the American economy at that time. He also said that NAFTA would stop illegal immigration. Clinton basicallly dodged the issue as it was the Democrats in Congress that wouldn't pass NAFTA. Perot told the truth about NAFTA.

I voted for Bush, but count me as a "misguided voter".

Was it the voters fault that they were lied to or the parties fault for lying that lost the election?
