Yea, it's insidious, but it did happen to Bush-41.

Consider:

Bush-41 raised taxes.
Bush-41 gave us the Americans with Disabilities Act
Bush-41 renewed, with punishing requirements, the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act
Bush-41 gave us the quota bill

Clinton promised a Middle Class Tax Cut.
Clinton promised to end welfare as we know it.

And, if you can believe it, Bush-41 was portrayed as a tool of the extreme Right Wing.


Regardless of the results of Clinton, that's where things stood on election night, 1992. We had been out-flanked by Clinton and the Dems on both the left and the right.

Not an easy thing to do, but Bush-41 let it happen.

Clinton promised to end welfare as we know it.

I don't remember a promise like that....but I do remember that the welfare reform during the time was FORCED onto Clinton by a Republican congress....and the increase in the stock market during that time can be tracked ALMOST TO THE DAY that the Republicans took over the check book in the house!
