I saw on another thread that a very smart freeper (I've forgotten which one) made note of the fact that Newt's Contract with America didn't contain a single social issue. Not one.

Yes and no. The concrete proposals of the CwA addressed specific solutions based in social imperatives, such as strengthening traditional family units. There is a social philosophy inherent in the 10 points.

Social philosophy as it relates to responsibility, as I recall, but without specific mention of the social conservative's concerns regarding abortion, gun control, and gay marriage. The Contract for America didn't mention any of those.
