I’m semi inspired by your Santorum sweater-vest picture. I’m thinking “Now that’s a guy I could go to a cricket match with.”
I’d be proud to sit down and have an A&W Rootbeer with that guy.

Well, I like Santorum a lot more than Newt.

Ever hear of the “gang of seven”?

“The Gang of Seven refers to a group of freshmen Republican U.S. Representatives, elected to serve in the 101st Congress in 1990. The group loudly condemned the House banking scandal and the Congressional Post Office scandal, forcing the congressional leadership to address the issues by ensuring the incidents stayed in the media and public eye. The group also criticized other Congressional perks, such as congressional subsidies for the Capitol Barbershop and Senate Restaurant.[1]

Two members of this group, Jim Nussle and John Boehner, were also key drafters of the Contract with America, which along with the banking and post office scandals helped the Republicans take control of the House in the 1994 elections.”

The seven Representatives were:[1]

John Boehner (OH-08)
Rick Santorum (PA-18)
Charles H. Taylor (NC-11)
Frank Riggs (CA-01)
Jim Nussle (IA-01)
Scott Klug (WI-02)
John Doolittle (CA-04)
