Hey, if you consider the Contract with America to be deep thinking, that's your business.

It was BRILLIANT! Newt's Contract with America put an end to the democrats 40+ year reign in the House.

It was pap. Of course, that was what the electorate was ready for, so it worked, in some degree.

But it was hardly brilliant statesmanship.

And there were many more things in play in '94 than just Newt's Contract.

The election was primarily a backlash to Bill Clinton, the largest tax increase in world history, passed with only Democrat votes, and to HillaryCare.

OMG. OMG. OMG.

We knew it would happen and we knew which freepers would do it.

Now they're bashing Contract With America. LOLOL.

Well, this sort of makes up for the lousy news about the House Democrats today.
