Coming to voter with boom and bluster and accomplishing nothing simply doesn’t impress me. And it apparently didn’t impress a lot of other voters given how quickly they lost the gains.
Please. Give credit where credit is due. The 1994 GOP House majority did exactly what they said they'd do. Plus, they effectively inhibited the Clinton administration into producing surpluses for three consecutive years.
And they didn't lose the gains until 2006, twelve years later -- but only because they abandoned what they had professed in the Contract with America.
And, for that, they deserve your approbation.
