Contract With America, 2008?
Allen December 1st, 2006
Sometimes Senator Coburn can be a bit awkward, but more often that not he hits it out of the ballpark. Case in point:
“This election was not a rejection of conservative principles per se, but a rejection of corrupt, complacent and incompetent government… It is also notable that the Democrats who won or who ran competitive races sounded more like Ronald Reagan than Lyndon Johnson. This election does not show that voters have abandoned their belief in limited government; it shows that the Republican Party has abandoned them. In fact, these results represent the total failure of big-government Republicanism. The Republican Party now has an opportunity to rediscover its identity as a party for limited government, free enterprise and individual responsibility. Most Americans still believe in these ideals, which reflect not merely the spirit of 1994 or the Reagan Revolution, but the vision of our founders.†—Sen. Tom Coburn
