Collins Report

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

In 1992 George H. W. Bush was an unpopular incumbent president forced to run against both Bill Clinton and H. Ross Perot.

For the offensive of not being Ronald Reagan and getting snuckered into raising taxes after publicly pledging not to do exactly that, Bush was targeted for extinction by many people who would ordinarily have been counted among his certain and strongest supporters.

Those responding to Roper’s exit polls and calling themselves conservatives, reported having voted 18% for Clinton as well as 18% for Perot.

Those identifying themselves as Republicans who could be characterized as “conservative lites” voted 10% for Clinton and 17% for Perot.

A good case could be made that were it not for these defections, Bush would’ve won, and we wouldn’t have seen a president sell technology to the Chinese Communists, turn the Oval Office into a bordello or have to explain to children what a Lewinsky is.

Those voting that way used “1992 think” which was dubious but somewhat excusable then. They told themselves foolishness like “ after four years of Clinton they’ll come crawling back to conservatism in 1996.” Time has proved those of us who counseled against that dangerous leap of faith dead right. “They” didn’t crawl back; they won’t in 2012.

“1992 think” is back. Conservatives voted 20% for Barack Obama in the duel beliefs that “they will crawl back in four years” and the very solemnly spoken, “Sometimes you have to kill the patient to save him.”

The original “1992 think” put a degenerate in the White House who cheapened everything he touched. This version promises to bring us much worse: a government telling us what to do, when to do it and how much to pay so it can buy the votes of the growing unproductive sector of our nation.

So far “1992 think” has brought us an open borders Homeland Security chief , a new Treasury Secretary who is up to his hips in the current crisis and a new Attorney General who is a Clinton hardened and experienced “problem fixer.”

The damage has just begun.
