How many of the GOP class of 94 are still in Congress...

[WCGreen]

I ask this because they all signed that pledge that Newt and Lutz concocted in order to bamboozle the American People into thinking the GOP was really, honest to good men and women of the people.

I wonder because one of the planks in the hoary old pledge was five, or was it four, terms and out.

I think the best way to discredit any contract bull shit they pull out of their focus groups would be that they didn't keep their pledge the last time what makes you think you can trust these guys this time.

Just some musings from a half crazed insomniac at 3:33 in the AM on a cool spring night.

1. I don't have a number handy

it's not very many.

Helen Chenoweth of Idaho kept her term limits pledge.

6. "Not very many", huh? Well I guess if your definition of not many is signifigantly more

than 54.

Because there are 54 members of the House of Representatives still in office who signed on to the "Contract on America."

2. What a good question!

[tritsofme]

3. You mean the ones that aren't in jail?

[LiberalFighter]

4. Still too many. My asshole of a scumbag is still in office.

[GoCubsGo]

9. Well...

My asshole of a scumbag is now in the Senate (Lindsay Graham). Does that count for anything?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Couldn't trust them then...

Can't trust them now...

:mad:

7. I've got your answer right here. If you had insomnia you should've counted them up

it would have put you right to sleep! :)

The members who signed the Contract "on" America and are still holding the same seat in the House of Representatives are listed in bold with asteriks next to their names. There are 54 of them.

And the pledge they signed was for six terms in the House, two in the Senate (12 year term.) So, at this point, they've already broken their pledge.

They tried to pass a Constitutional Amendment but if failed to get a two-thirds vote. (227-204)
