Seems like Gingrich does not even remember his own revolution. The 1994 class was brought in with a clear conservative platform. Not some middle of the road crap.
What really hacks me off, every single Republican candidate for Congress, House and Senate that year signed on to the Contract With America, yet wayyyyyyyy too many proved in subsequent years that they were not sincere in its goals, ideals, it was proven very quickly that they had only signed on for the PR value. And just look how much power the MOR-Republicans in the House had over the majority-Conservative GOP members in 1995 and onward, that was as frustrating as anything else.
To have the man who conjured up the document, someone I watched for years as a back-bencher who gathered like-minded true Conservatives around him now try to tell me that really, a woman who is more left than the Dem candidate, not only receives but approves ACORN endorsement is the best candidate for the seat, "dramatically better" solely because it would add R's to the House is as betraying as anything done to the former spouses.
Politician, thy name is Gingrich.
