3. Pat Buchanan's hateful "culture war" speech at the 1992 RNC was blamed

for turning people against the Republicans during that campaign. Of course, such nastiness was fringe in 1992, not considered appropriate to spout in public. Today, the Republican base would consider Buchanan's speech too mild and conciliatory.

"‘Cultural War’ of 1992 Moves In From the Fringe"

“The agenda Clinton and Clinton would impose on America — abortion on demand, a litmus test for the Supreme Court, homosexual rights, discrimination against religious schools, women in combat — that’s change, all right,” said Mr. Buchanan, a conservative commentator who was a rival to President George Bush in the 1992 campaign. “But it is not the kind of change America wants.”

The speech — along with similarly sharp-edged addresses by the evangelist Pat Robertson and Marilyn Quayle, the wife of Vice President Dan Quayle — pushed issues like abortion, gay rights, religion and the role of women in society to the front of the stage, often loudly. Supporters of Mr. Bush pointed to the tone of the convention as one of the reasons he lost the election that November to Bill Clinton.
