It should make people appreciate Republican leaders which they roundly denounced at the time. They got a lot done with razor thin majorities, something Reid can’t manage.
Sometimes they listen. The drying up of NRSC contributions certainly got their attention.
And even with a huge majority while a clown Dem President was in office ... re: 1994 Congress ...
Really, the Pres was floundering and worrying about his 'relevance' and 'legacy' pre-1994 ... and then Newt's Congress comes to the rescue and completely overhauls government, which Clinton took as his mantle of accomplishment ... but who really cares who takes the credit? The "Contract" was good for America, and thats all that really counts ... if Slick wants this as his 'legacy' on his watch, then so be it ... it really doesn't matter who takes credit, it was good for America.
