It was almost 20 years ago that Newt Gingrich earned his claim to fame, engineering one of the most radical turnarounds in the history of American politics; flipping Congress to the GOP for the first time since the Great Depression.

 

And he did it using one of the most radical techniques in the history of politics; telling the people what his movement stood for, and what itd stand by.

But thats history. Im here to talk about the present.

 

A New American Repair Manual: Of course, the name Contract with America had that patina of legalism that smacks of the same thing that gave us the problem in the first place. The System.

 

I think conservatives need to revisit the notion of putting down a hard set ofnot campaign promises, but lines in the sand, things that separate them from the Democrat party for all to see. Something that everyone, from a movement conservative to a college kid looking for a job to a working, not-overly-political family with a cancelled insurance policy and a skyrocketing premium can look at, compare with Hope and Change!, and find some red meat to support.

 

Its not a Contract. Its a repair manual. Sort of like a Chilton © manual for the 2014 United State of America.

 

Heres my suggestion for that repair guide:
