When Noot was speaker, he was the “secular-socialist machine.”

"A co-author and architect of Contract with America, Gingrich was in the forefront of Republican Party success in the 1994 Congressional election.

In 1995, Time magazine named him "Man of the Year" for his role in ending 40 years of majority rule by the Democratic Party.

During his four years as House speaker, Gingrich sometimes opposed President Bill Clinton but he also worked closely with Clinton, in 1996, to limit public welfare, and, in 1997, to pass a capital gains tax cut and, in 1998, to pass the first balanced budget since 1969."

Yep. Big Government guy all the way. Facts are stubborn, aren't they?

The “contract with america” cost us several congressional seats that were going our way, and given a few more weeks, might have turned the election over to the dems.
