| Publisher Description: In 1992, there emerged a new brand of liberalism never before seen in America. Using carefully crafted dramatic narratives, it swept across the country and shared meaning with legions of angry voters. The conservative establishment was divided, their forces were splintered by conflicting ideology. They did not adequately defend their leadership and were overthrown. This charted a new course for the nation. "The Reagan Revolution came crashing down ending conservatism in America as we know it." What role did billionaire businessman Ross Perot play? Was he the spoiler who gave Bill Clinton the presidency? Did George H.W. Bush even want to be reelected as president? How did an unknown, scandal-ridden governor from a small insignificant state, defeat the most popular president in history, ending the greatest political legacy since Truman succeeded FDR? "The 1992 presidential election was arguably the most important, yet bizarre campaign in modern history. " This book chronicles not only what happened, but how it was accomplished. How public opinion was changed and the liberal/conservative divide was created. This was the Rise of New Liberalism and The Fall of Conservatism in America. It was the beginning of the never-ending campaign and the divisiveness that permeates politics today paralyzing government. Many will not remember the 1992 election, but those who forget the past are destined to reelect it. |
