What is it with Sean Hannity’s obsession with “Newt Gingrich’s Contract with America”? I get sick of hearing it and I’ll tell you why – in 1994 the 104th Republican Congress put forth “The Contract with America” the general premise with a good idea accept for the fact it didn’t take them long to break the contract and act like Democrat’s so every time I hear the phrase “The Contract with America” it just leaves me empty. The way I see it is that you don’t bitch slap me with a broken promise and then roll back around a few years later and make the same damn promise and expect me to believe it. You don’t drag back into the forefront a Albatross that drug you down before and you don’t bring it back as the same name or slap a new name on it – or as it can be said you don’t put lipstick on a pig, not that the original “The Contract with America” is or was a pig it’s just the Newt Gringrich and many others made it a pig by ignoring it’s pledges.
Let me ask you without looking it up can you tell me what “The Contract with America” was about? Or do you remember it as a huge promise the GOP broke? For me it’s the latter and the bonehead Hannity keeps pushing it and pushing it over and over again – stop it! Don’t get me wrong I like Hannity but honestly he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed and I say that with great specificity.(But that’s another rant)
So what to do? Well first screw your contacts they aren’t worth the paper the they are written on. I think we’ve all had enough empty promises from politicians to last us a lifetime and then some. What we need is people not politicians with a proven track record of stating their position and keeping their word. I’m sick of listening to soapbox stump speeches that I know are lies – I want a to see people in Washington that say what they mean and mean what they say. Enough of listening to the day-in day-out rhetoric of BS. Vote for me and I’ll do this for you! Screw that what re you going to do for the country?
See I’m old school I believe that if you give someone your word your keep it – and if for some reason you have to break your word as it does happen you explain yourself fully and honestly as to why. I can handle disappointment if they are honest about why they failed 0 excuses are like asshole everyone got one and they all stink – and Washington smells pretty bad right now. I get so tired of hearing candidate telling me what they are going to do when they go to Washington – stuff they can’t do without a majority vote – I’ve give you and example here in my state Trey Grayson is running for Senate and he is running smear commercials on Rand Paul – he states that he (Grayson) is going to go to Washington and cut waste, cut spending and save social security and Medicare all alone like Superman – well Trey you’re not – so tell me how Trey? How the hell you going to do that alone when you’ll need the majority of the remaining 534 congressmen to go along? That is one of my biggest pet peeves with politicians – be honest and don’t tell me you are going to do something your can’t do! Show me a plan, tell me how you are going to attract support and be honest that you can’t do it alone all you can do is try.
It’s better to have tried and failed and to have lied and failed.
So don’t tell me about any Contract with America – I don’t want to hear it – I don’t want to hear anything I want to see action and I’m thinking I’m not alone as contracts are easily broken but once you’ve broken your word – your done buh-bye.

amen brother. The tea party movement and other grass root conservative moments are not just going after the looney libs and dems its all the useless career politicians that hasn’t done squat other than give themselves raises and benefits that the rest of us don’t have access too whether they have a D or R by their name.
While I do like some of Newt’s ideas but Newt and the republicans dropped the ball when they took over Congress and i actually blame him and that congress for they crap we are dealing with now letting these looney libs get cred for being totally incompetent when they had the chance to make some serious changes.
I think that the only real key to fixing congress is campaign finance reform. It is the only way to get special interests out of OUR lawmaking body. Instead of working on legislation our congressmen and women spend half of their time drumming up campaign contributions. Instead of spending time with their constituents trying to look for solutions to problems they are trolling for money to get reelected. This is just basically wrong, but it’s the way that it’s been for a long long time.
