Republicans drew the wrong morals from the decline and fall of Newt Gingrich. They thought his boldness got him in trouble, and chose to crib plays from the Bill Clinton playbook -- tacking left, at least oratorically, so as to appease, rather than confront, their critics. Hence, George W. Bush's "compassionate conservatism"

Let's not rewrite history. Newt in '95 had his head handed to him. Week after week in '95 the MSM dug into the conservative Contract with America and they dug into Newt. Week after week the polls got lower for Newt until he was left a neutered Newt. Conservatism and Contract were left in shambles.

Were the polls correct? Did the electorate run away from Newt and his contract? If the polls were correct, then why should any politician give a rats rear-end about conservatism?

2008 is approaching. The MSM is losing power. Talk radio and the Internet are now places where many can get unbiased information.

All you folks want to try this all over again. All you folks want to see a good conservative running for president in 2008 and a contract with America-type congressional run in 2006.

Maybe now's the time -- maybe.

AMEN!

NOW IS THE TIME!

I thoroughly believe that Newt's little fiasco with his wife lead to embarrassment to support him...

But He had the right things.

we gained power because he put out a plan.. but it was not called Plan for the GOP

it was called CONTRACT TO AMERICA!

It was a promise to US! TO US! TO OUR FAMILIES!

WE NEED TO POUND THIS HOME!

Not to mention that we have seen where the leftist ideas are taking us and what it is doing to our country and our families...

YES! NOW IS THE TIME!

AMEN!
