I've done a little surfing over the last few weeks looking for someplace that has the pre-election predictions from 1994 to 2004. So far nada. I know they screwed up, but I can't find the quotes or stats.
Did you see this Monday (links at site):
GOP Victory Roadmap
October 16th, 2006 7:32 pm
Newt Gingrich again proves why he’s at the top of my list of preferred 2008 Presidential candidates. His article today is an absolute must-read.

Read it. Re-read it. Email it to friends and family. Print it out and give it to people at church, at the store, at the bank, post it on bulletin boards and windshields. Remind voters of the clear choice we have.
Remind them what a “Speaker Pelosi” would look like:
- Nancy Pelosi voted against every Republican tax cut. She voted for the largest tax increase in history.
- Nancy Pelosi voted 19 times against eliminating the death tax.
- Nancy Pelosi voted five times for raising gasoline taxes.
- Nancy Pelosi is so pro-high taxes she was one of only 27 members to vote against tax relief for poor neighborhoods in the inner city (presumably including her constituents in San Francisco).
- On July 31, 1996, Pelosi voted against the historic Welfare Reform Bill and later voted against its reauthorization;
- On July 19, 2006, Pelosi voted against protecting the right to say “one nation under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance;
- On Sept. 20, 2006, Pelosi voted against requiring that voters be identified so we could ensure only legal citizens are voting;
- On July 13, 2006, Pelosi voted against requiring English on ballots;
- On June 30, 2005, Pelosi refused to side with homeowners against the Kelo decision that allows cities to seize private property for profitable ventures, even though 365 members voted to stop cities from taking private property.
- Pelosi has voted at least 12 times against the death penalty;
- Pelosi was one of only 67 House members to vote against the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA);
- Pelosi has voted at least eight times against banning partial-birth abortion, at least three times against the Unborn Victims of Violence Act (Laci’s law), and scored a perfect 100 percent rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America;
- Pelosi voted against a bill that would “[b]ar the transportation of a minor girl across state lines to obtain an abortion without the consent of a parent, guardian or judge;”
- Pelosi voted at least 31 times for using local or federal taxpayer dollars to fund abortions;
- On Sept. 14, 2006, Pelosi voted against building a fence on the border to protect America from terrorists;
- Before 9/11, Pelosi repeatedly voted to cut intelligence (in 1993 by $500 million) and after 9/11 she has still voted to cut intelligence (in 2004 she voted to withhold 25 percent of intelligence funds);
- When you ask why we were not more prepared for 9/11, remember that six months before Sept. 11, 2001, Pelosi voted to decrease proposed defense spending by $65 billion;
- The next time you think about North Korean nuclear tests and North Korean efforts to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile to reach the United States, remember that in 2002, Pelosi voted for an amendment to the FY 2003 Defense authorization that would block FY 2003 funding for space-based missile defense programs;
- Pelosi led a faction of 124 House Democrats who voted against final passage of the Patriot Act’s reauthorization;
- Pelosi voted against the $87-billion Iraq/Afghanistan supplemental that included extra money for body armor for our soldiers;
- Pelosi voted against creation of Homeland Security Department;
- Pelosi was one of only 33 members to vote against prohibiting U.S. citizens and companies from conducting any financial transaction with countries that have been identified by the State Department as active sponsors of terrorism; and
- In 2004, Pelosi voted against House passage of the intelligence overhaul bill, which reorganized 15 intelligence agencies under one Director of National Intelligence.
Remind them what a “Ways and Means Chairman Rangel” would look like:
- Tax rates will rise substantially in each tax bracket, some by 450 basis points;
- Low-income taxpayers will see the 10-percent tax bracket disappear, and they will have to pay taxes at the 15-percent rate;
- Married taxpayers will see the marriage penalty return;
- Taxpayers with children will lose 50 percent of their child tax credits;
- Taxes on dividends will increase beginning on Jan. 1, 2009;
- Taxes on capital gains will increase, also beginning on Jan. 1, 2009; and
- Federal death taxes will come back to life in 2011, after fading down to nothing in 2010.
Remind them what an “Intelligence Committee Chairman Hastings” would look like:
Hastings is a former federal judge who was indicted in 1981 for influence peddling, then impeached by a vote of 413-3 in the House and removed from his judgeship by subsequent conviction in the Senate on eight articles of impeachment. Hastings’ conviction was only the sixth time that the Senate has removed a judge from office in an impeachment trial. It is not clear why Pelosi would place her trust in an impeached former judge to lead the oversight of our nation’s intelligence agencies
Remind them about the stock market nearing 12,000. Remind them about the 36 consecutive months of job growth and unemployment at 4.7%. Remind them about increasing hourly earnings. Remind them about thousands of terrorists meeting allah face-to-face. Remind them about Saddam on trial. Remind them that the 9/11 mastermind is rotting in prison. Remind them who’s using the court system to eliminate references to God from the public square. Remind them that patroitism is not something to be ashamed of. Remind them that appeasing terrorists doesn’t work. Remind them which party wants to surrender Iraq to terrorists. Remind them which party wants to eliminate successful intelligence tools. Remind them why they haven’t been in power the past few years.
And remind them why they shouldn’t be in power for years to come.
