Conservatives supported a candidate (Pat Buchanan) to challenge Bush for the Republican nomination, and Bush was crushed in a three-way contest in the fall.  Democrat Bill Clinton won 43% of the vote, Bush won 37%, and independent third-party candidate Ross Perot (a wealthy businessman from Texas concerned about the budget deficit) won 19%.

Bill Clinton became a controversial president who served for eight years but never won even 50% of the vote.  In 1993, his wife (the "First Lady") Hillary Clinton led a massive committee-based effort for the government to take over the health care system, which is about 1/7th of the nation's economy.  Physicians, pro-lifers and the insurance industry helped defeat Hillary's complex plan in Congress.  Also in 1993, terrorists linked to radical Muslims set off truck bomb under World Trade Center in attempt to knock down the two massive towers.  Fortunately, only six were killed.

Shortly after he was inaugurated, Clinton sought removal of the longstanding ban on homosexuals in the military.  But the Democrats in Congress refused to lift the ban, and instead a policy of "don't ask, don't tell" was implemented.  Gays would not be expelled from the military unless they actively promoted ("tell") their lifestyle.  That policy remains in force to this day, and Barack Obama campaigned by promising to lift the ban.  But will the House of Representatives, which face elections every two years, risk angering voters by caving into the homosexual activists?
