re: Lessee - "Contract with America"
The "Contract With America" was voted on successfully in the House, and flattened like a pancake in the Senate, and not just by Democrats. God knows what Clinton would have done with any laws that made it all the way through. Probably made paper airplanes out of them and flown them into the outhouse.
Ironically, the House is pretty much the last repository of what Robert likes to call "Classic Conservatives" (although I think he's still a bit unclear on the basics). Yet, any conservative base anger this year is going to fall there.
