...as the truth slipped out:
Many Democrats scoffed at the notion that the Republicans, under the leadership of backbench bombthrower Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., could win back the House. But President Bill Clinton's push for universal health care (seeing a pattern yet?), gun control and lowering barriers to gays serving in the military brought forth a tidal wave of resentment.What's that? Clinton's push for universal health care AND more gun control was one of the reasons the Republicans beat the Democrats so thoroughly at the polls in 1994? It wasn't the failure to pass a health care plan? I'm sure the author of THAT blog post is going to get a stern talking-to.
