Newt is an opportunist politican. He came in 1994 and gave us hope only to deliver a short lived "revolution." One by one he broke the contract with America. (Read Tom Coburn's book) Now he's trying to fashion himself as a conservative again.
Newt did not break the Contract with America. The Contract said that the GOP would bring 10 ideas to the vote and they did. Period. Definable goals.
