Indeed, Fat Boy Billy Clinton won but 43% of the vote in '92, but the
Democrats would have us believe he won in a landslide. Had Perot not run,
Bush I would have been re-elected easily. Further, Draft-Dodger Billy didn't
even get 50% in '96. The Dem-O-Losers need to get over it, they lost.

Forget it, the tinfoil hat wearing leftist Kool Aid drinkers will try and
