"Having a positive set of things that say, 'if you elect us, these are the positive steps we will take,'' Gingrich said,

That's what he said the last time!

Yeah, that’s just great. The first Contract With America was such a resounding success that I’m sure everyone will want to sign up for this one, too.

“Gingrich engineered the greatest GOP congressional victory in history! “

And O.J.Simpson was once an American icon.

Does anyone remember the ‘welfare reform’ part of the first Contract with America? Wasn’t there supposed to be a lifetime limit on the amount of welfare one could collect? I remember the cries of how awful it would be for single moms who would have nowhere to go once their two years of benefits were up. When did those provisions get repealed?

I am all for conservative reform plans. We’ll see what the Rinos come up with.

There already is “a Contract with America”, Newt. It’s called “THE CONSTITUTION”. How about honoring that one?

“...and I have no idea what Steele is, really.”

Michael Steele came out of Maryland politics, claiming to be a Republican. That’s all you need to know to form an opinion.

Newt and the current Republican leadership have really no credibility and poor Newt is no longer the Ingenue he once was. He is living in Past Faded Glory.
Newt just start looking for wife number 4 and leave the real Politics to those outside the Beltway.

At least the liberals try to deliver. I know thats a horrible statement but well...

You're right.

Much as I detested Ted Kennedy, he fought for his detestable positions, and if you happened to agree with him, you had a champion for your causes.

I am damned if I know what the "R's" stand for anymore, except trying to weasel back in to power on the backs of others.
