In '94 Gingrich crafted his "Contract On America"...a novel and great PR bit that the corporate media trumpeted and influenced a lot of votes. There is no such "contract" now. In '94 the GOOP could claim that the Democrats controlled the House for over 40 years and give them a chance. Today, after they were given that chance, we see what a rushpublican majority brings...Abramoff, bank bailouts, wars for profit, tax cuts for the rich and trying to impose their morality (Terry Schaivo anyone???) on the country. They were soundly rejected the last two elections based on their corruption and ineptness and no matter how poorly the Democrats have performed, most people realize a GOOP majority would be a real disaster.
Methinks the GOOP read their own press clippings too much...the teabagger "revolution" is a looming disaster on their side, not ours. We're going to see some bruising primaries in the next couple months that could rip the GOOP to shreads...all that's holding them together right now is hate.
Cheers...
