Yeah...Then they dropped and neglected the agenda items that were shot down and gave the limp loser "we tried" excuse.
Then came the great budget capitulation of '95 and the return of the GOP to being the party of "yes dear".
Were I in the GOP, I wouldn't be a party to any such "contract" until my party proved that they were serious through action.
The only one that didn't pass was term limits. And had I been in Congress I would have voted against term limits at that time too.
But let's please don't make this a partisan issue or one of personality or failings of whatever Congress or group.
I want to know whether you can or cannot support those 10 things in the Contract.
Are you saying that if whomever is in Congress can't guarantee they'll be able to pass an item, you won't support it?
I don't agree with Dude often, but he brings up a valid point here. This was tried not all that long ago, by the same party with some of the same individuals and with most likely the same intentions. Comparisons are inevitable. And frankly I don't see much difference, except in 1994 the GOP had strong leadership to rely on and agree or disagree with the policies, a more fleshed out proposal to pitch.
Now....? I smell a retread of an old idea by a group of pols needing a boost. I take it you think it's a good idea but I can't even tell you whether I can support the points offered without some meat on the bones to start from.
