How many times have we conservatives bemoaned the fact that once our guys get elected to office they seem to lose their way and just roll over and play dead whenever some shrill and partisan Democrat demands it?
Well Newt Gingrich, a master of conservative thought and political strategy has been working on a few new ideas, including a new Contract for America in the 21st Century.
Newt points out that what is needed is not just more Republicans in office, but Republicans willing to work for a transformation of our government and political process. Reminding readers of former British Prime Minister's adage: “first you win the argument; then you win the vote" he goes on to list a number of steps to achieve this transformation.
Newt is thinking of running for President. I wish I could support him. He's got the ideas to move this country forward in a new and positive direction. But he's been so successfully demonized by the left simply because he was effective that I doubt he could be elected. This is the reason why it is IMPERATIVE we put a stop to the Democrats game in charging House Minority Leader Tom Delay and the obstruction of President Bush's nominees in the Senate.
Take the Test: Are You Conservative?

Add the score at the end. The higher the score, the more you lean toward traditional American values. The lower the score, the more you favor the secular left-liberal system.
