They ran away from the idea because the MSM managed to villify Newt and the "contract on America".

Republicans are no more principled that demoncraps. They're merely more palatable.

...why haven't the Republicans had another Contract with America in a single election since 1994?

Because they were beaten up by the news media all through '95. By the end of '95, it showed in the polls.

How soon we forget.

Heard on Bill Bennett's radio program that the congressional pubbies have gotten just as bad as the RATS in their spending. It was even suggested that the pubbies need to be reminded why they were elected the majority.

Could the Contract with America have been the political equivalent of a knockout punch?

The Contract with America was a political knockout because it was a complete repudiation of democrat policies. It won't last forever though if the GOP doesn't stand by its principles. One sure way to defeat is to vote for amnesty, I can't think of one issue that would upset their core supporters and end up depressing turnout than that, then we're right back where we started prior to 1994.

Democrats are now considering formulating their own version of a Contract with America

What 10 policies would the rats come up with that are near and dear to the hearts of Americans?

100% tax rate, abortion on demand, demise of marriage, weakness abroad, disbanded military, government run businesses, government owned property, government control of the air you breath, government ownership of your kids, prescribed length of life/euthanasia.

Now....there's a plan America will wholeheartedly support.

Sadly, Newt blinked when the media turned up the heat. Even more sadly, Republicans bought a "pig in a poke," in the 2000 Primaries, and we have lost our way since.

Can the sharp decline in our political fortunes, reflected by all sorts of indicators in the past few months, be reversed? Yes, to be sure. But it is going to take a new bold leadership, which may not be possible so long as Karl Rove has his present status.

Incidentally, I have just posted the December Feature at the Return Of The Gods Web Site: Primary 2006!--Tactical Tips For Conservative Candidates. The advice is sound, but I fear there will be few takers.
