For the sake of marketing it needs a catchy name. Perhaps " Rebirth of Liberty Agreement" . I'm sure somebody can think of a better one

Here’s why: Because the corporation issuing the contract is bankrupt. No one will sign a contract from the GOP. It’s not even a national party anymore.

A suggestion I had 1.5 years ago. The candidates we are fielding simply do not possess the focus, command of issue, and articulation that Reagan & Newt have.

They made a HUGE mistake by NOT doing a CONTRACT WITH AMERICA EVERY TWO YEARS!!!
They fell for that crap put out by the DEMOCRATS that noone liked the FIRST CONTRACT......HOOEY! It gained the Republicans 54 seats!! The MSM and the DEMS HAD to make sure THAT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN!

The Constitution is the only “contract with American” that any political party needs to succeed. The ‘Pubbies should try adhering to the “original Contract with America” and all would be well.....

Another Contract with America would be a nice publicity stunt, but the GOP would never follow through with it.

A suggestion I had 1.5 years ago... I made a post similar to this many years ago myself. Milton Friedman was my original source.

It would be portrayed as the “politics of the past.” We need more than just gimmicks. We need new personalities.
To: Nateman
ok first of all: no more amendments.

To: Nateman
Nateman,
In fact, John Boehner, Minority Leader and brilliant strategist for the 2008 elections, publicly rejected the idea for another "Contract with America".
"There will be no effort to try to nationalize the elections." Brilliant! And all while the Dems Nationalized theirs.
He also said "(A)t the end of the day, people will have to run their own elections."
http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/boehner_rejects_contract/2008/07/23/115471.html
Considering he worked on the first one, and the incredible successes resulting from that, you'd think he might have a clue. But he didn't, and we went into the elections facing a National Democratic Campaign like a Junior Varsity 3rd Stringer QB against the Dallas Cowboys. Stupid ****.

We need both. But you’ve got to have the leadership first.
To: Nateman
I think we need to follow Rush’s lead on this subject. I listened to him yesterday and I think he’s spot on. I also think his instincts have been right on the whole way. He warned of McCain and the rest of the RINO’s that put him in position to win the nomination from the beginning. There needs to be a state by state, district by district effort in targeting all moderates of the party and replacing them with conservative candidates. Rush said yesterday that the strategy will take some time to develop, but he’ll begin naming names in the process, i.e. targets. My thoughts.

Might I suggest a return to adherence to Constitution as originall written
To: Nateman
Need someone like Newt who can articulate conservatism. Don’t see anyone like that.

It would be portrayed as the politics of the past. Calculus is over 300 years old. It may be "mathamatics of the past" but it still works.
