Well, they didn't win, but the economy boomed under Clinton (from the Bush recession through the dotcom bubble) and violent crime plummeted in the same time frame as well.

Violent crime plummeted throughout the 90s because abortions was legalized in 1973, 17-27 years before 1990 and 2000, respectively, roughly coinciding with the early adulthood period where a vast majority of criminal offenses are committed, the offender having the freedom of an adult without the fully formed prefrontal cortex of one yet. The fetuses that were aborted were overwhelmingly from socioeconomic demographic…

An assault weapons ban went into effect in 1994, the number of deaths from mass shootings fell, and the increase in the annual number of incidents slowed down. Any guesses as to what trends in firearm related deaths looked like when the ban was allowed to expire in 2004?

Seeing the phrase "Smaller government" in a main tagline is so weird to see. Don't think that's an idea really any politician would even pay lip service to anymore.

Are you from the US? It’s been a centerpiece of Republican propaganda for 50 years. It’s a total lie though.

It’s not as central to the GOP platform as it used to be, though. Really ever since the “War on Terror,” their messaging has mostly been around whatever the enemy du jour is. Small gov’t was a paleocon thing and McCain, maybe Rand Paul, are pretty much the last of them.

Bob Dole was the first and last Republican I ever voted for. I still think he was kind of a fun guy, although it’s good that his candidacy failed.

Has the site actually been running all this time? I notice that the generator tag says "FrontPage 12" (post-2003), and site has a TLS certificate, which in 1996 it most certainly would not have had.

The current domain registration also dates to 2003 and as someone lower in the thread notes the current owner is connected to "4president.org".

I'm having trouble accessing old snapshots, though. The Internet Archive has one as far back as April 1, 2000, but the snapshot viewer has been giving 503 errors all morning.

Sounds like you would be served well reading a book or two: https://www.amazon.com/Coolidge-Amity-Shlaes/dp/0061967556

It goes further back than 50 years for sure. Was small-government rhetoric embraced by the whole party that far back though? Seems to me it wasn't embraced by the whole party until after Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. I think it really got going after the New Deal as Republicans started framing their opposition to helping the working class in terms of small government and states rights.

I used to host at a facility in DC that hosted Pat Robertson's presidential campaign's server.. they had surrounded his server with all of their adult hosting clients as a... show of support.
