- The *reality* is that Bill Clinton won the election because he
- sounded more like B. Goldwater than J. Jackson. The *reality* is that
- aligning with the fundamentalist right did not garner sufficient
- support for a Bush win, and unlike Dukakis, Bush could not pin
- an albatros like 'Card Carrying Member of the ACLU' on Clinton.

- The *reality* is that Clinton is not a fascist, not a totalitarian,
- and not a liberal. He is a 'conservative' member of the Democratic
- party.
