How the hell is Yarborough losing?
Forum is full of economic elitists, of course.
But TNF! HW was the Last Great Moderate Republican Hope, who spent 12 years (the first eight of which he was operating a full size puppet that had a brief tenure in Hollywood) implementing what he wisely called "Voodoo Economics" and regularly made disparaging remarks about atheists and draft dodgers! He also came from a long line of Eugenics supporters and Standard Oil businessmen! Surely that makes him worthy of high approvals and historical revisionism as a "compassionate conservative", amirite?
And his opponent, Yarburgerur or whatever his name was, had one of the highest liberal scores in the nation, authored the Great Society which included such reactionary ideas like Medicare, Medicaid, the War on Poverty, and federal support for veterans and education! Oh yes, there was also that useless piece of legislation called the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which he was a huge proponent of. He also talked and walked like a populist hick redneck, so yes auto-HP vote.
How could you not vote for Bush!
