I honestly believe that Bush 41 believed that the country would SEE through Bill Clinton back in '92. And I don't think he realized that he had to get down in the dirt with him. He was a gentlman and was stunned that Clinton was able to lie with such abandon and get away with it.
Go a step further. The entire party thought people had sense
enough to see through that scumbag, and the party carried too
many honorable people that felt we shouldn't have mud fights.
We witnessed more propaganda from the democrat camp
in one campaign, than in perhaps all the previous campaigns
this Nation's ever lived through. We witnessed a media blitz
that comforted the clintons throughout their entire presidency.
How in hell can anyone fight that? They forced out Newt,
among other of our most prominent Republicans. And they
convinced those in the Republican party (read some archived
posts to FR), that they had to do it.
INSANE! It was insane.
Bush senior was a fighter. If he entered a contest, it was
to win and he fought to win. In his last campaign, he didn't
move from his seat; he didn't fight at all and appeared to
"roll over", to most of us.
Was our resident tin-foil hat conspiracy right? Did it have
anything to do with Mena Arkansas? Did the former
Arkansas governor know something about the former
intelligence official - Bush?
I have trouble believing it was Bush senior's overconfidence.
He already fell in the polls since the Gulf War. The democrat
media's propaganda that Saddam should have been removed;
that Bush did not do his job well, totally covered the fact that
the replacement for Saddam would have been his son, a worse
scenario than before (that son was since shot, incapacitated,
and now near death). Again, read the archived posts to FR
to see the media's effect on the public; on our own.
The democrat media blitz convinced those that should have
stood fast behind George Bush senior, that he was inferior.
We continue to see the results here on FR. And they attempted
to convince us Bush II was inferior (archived posts, anyone?),
but we managed to pull together under the guise that we had no
other choice; it was GW or Gore.
I'm thankful we accomplished that. There are some that remain,
even here on FR, that continue to chant about GW's inferiority,
but the majority continue to support him.
I hope we can keep that support through 2004.
Thanks.
(oh, and you don't have to care about what I say either!)

Howlin, so very true, but so many other good gentlemen were willing to give Clinton a pass which has been so disheartening and
harmful to our country and our future.
Don't forget the media culpability in electing Bill Clinton either. Remember Time mag calling him a wimp?
GW remembers what happened to his Dad and did not try to defend him when asked about the pledge and the breaking of it. All he said was "well, Dad said it and broke it - it's on the record."
