You're correct in speaking about the immediate aftermath of 1994, but obviously you've not thought through the long-term adherence to the principles put forth in that proposal.
Broadly speaking, one might characterize the Contract with America's themes as: fiscal responsibility, job creation, legislative restraint, tax code fairness and national security. At best, the GOP now owns the last two. On the first three themes, the GOP has IMO strayed far from the Contract. Now people might reasonably disagree, but should not be subjected to vitriol as a result. Which brings me to my next point...
The fact is, most of you should simply shut up, or learn your history. I don't mean to go off on you, but your post is sadly becoming typical on this forum, with nonsense being accepted as fact.
What I find mildly humorous is egotistical blowhards who try to silence other posters, yet are substantially wrong in their own analysis. If "nonsense being accepted as fact" is sadly typical on this forum, perhaps you should write your opus. Or save yourself the trouble and just resurrect one of the previous ones.
Tell ya what? How about you be right about something, ANYTHING when you reply to me, and I agree to consider taking you seriously? LOL.
