I'd much rather see Newt elected. He's the "Contract with

From your point of view (if I understand it), you're probably right. *We'll
find out soon (by June) what the SCOTUS thinks. *As far as the "Contract
with America" is concerned, politics when done right, should allow
compromise. *Since that abomination of a contract is mostly used as a

How well has "compromise" worked? That "compromise" where
the Republicans agree to some of the Democrats wasteful spending
in exchange for some of their own, is precisely what's gotten us
to where we were when Bush left office. Since then, spending has
exploded far worse, by 40%.
