Doesn’t mean squat unless they have an established agenda for specific changes and enough votes in the Senate. Newt gave us the Contract for America. I sat glued to CSPAN watching the House vote in the changes on property rights protections. Then the legislation simply died in the Senate. With Obama in the White House, they will also need enough votes to over-ride a veto. The best they can probably do until 2012 is neuter the progressive’s agenda in Congress, although Obama will push the envelope on implementing his plans through the federal agencies.
Correct. I thought “Contract for America” was a brilliant idea—and it hasn’t been repeated, much to my surprise and dismay. I propose:
1. Repeal Obamacare.
2. Balance budget by cutting Federal salaries, freezing Federal employment, and Federal spending.
3. Creation of an permanent independent prosecutor to investigate all Congressional and Executive crimes.
