Nimrod, the CWA was what got the newtster and the Pubbies control of Congress in ‘94. By mid/late ‘95 they had pretty well dropped the CWA after only a couple of notable victories (budget and welfare reform), when they could have gone a LONG way to reducing government and restoring the Constitution, which had been their theme. Conservative principles, when enunciated clearly AND LIVED UP TO, tend to be big winners at the Polls, in case no one ever told you. The Pubbies, with under ten notable exceptions, have a serious problem with the latter half of that, the LIVING UP TO part. Which is why they have lost so much ground that we will have a VERY hard time making up.

And, needless to say, Juan McLame was NOT the one to help reduce government one iota. And, had he won, the Pubbies in Congress would have had a real hard time NOT supporting their Prez. Maybe now they can develop a spine, though I doubt it.

As I note previously, you obviously don’t even know what the tenets of the Contract With America entailed.

Now, let me add, you’re an embarrassment.
