It may now be safe to chuckle - maybe even guffaw - over the major fuckup by . . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . the repubican leadership who put that Sledge at America together. The Democrats are laughing at it. Clowns like me are making plays on words with the title. But mast important, the Almighty Teabaggers hate the fuck out of it.

Nice going, Orange Man.

Newt was a horrible man in 92 and hes a horrible man today. But he was smart when he wrote Contract 1.0. But Orange Man? I knew Newt. You're no Newt.

1. Why do the Teabaggers hate it? nt

[Stinky The Clown]

3. It isn't crazy enough

Fer instance: no balanced budget amendment call.

The Club For Growth hates it. The religionuts and values people hate it.

It just didn't go far enough off the deep end to suit any of them.

6. Not counting chickens ..but all of the air is escaping the media created tea bag balloon

what this is is the GOP controllers diminishing Dick Armey's attempt to take over the party.

We all saw this coming from the beginning. Internal fighting makes people see that you don't have your act together. The Republicans prime directive is centralization of message followed by the image of them knowing what they are talking about. A house divided and all that.

The media created this and will never dare mention it. This is like bad pop music shoved down the throats of a gullible public. Yes there are hyperactive supporters who will gobble up merchandise and talk it up to friends but the non-indoctrinated see it like it like a Grateful Dead show or the Justin Beiber crowd- they like to watch but most won't throw themselves full in to it.

The problem is the product. Timing is one problem- they spent themselves in the summer when a lot of people simply pay no attention to it. Notice that there was not the normal August lull in news from DC, it was full on tea bagging coverage and declaring early victory. This is too familiar at a time that the Iraq war ended. The other is that the product is negative. Hyperbolically negative. Ridiculous in the eyes of mainstream which means no one reading this as you are politically over-aware. Positive sells, negative sends people away ... unless they are scared (insurance).

Get out the vote is key. We hear the media tell us how the "energy level" is so high amongst the right but the energy level is split. They also fail to recognize that all of the poll numbers are only from people with landlines, the young are under-represented in the polls. Add to this that no one has believed the media since about 2005 -their exposure in the war was obvious and their lack of anticipation of the public uprising that was the 2006 radical shift in Congress was glaring.

I am supposed to say something about how the Dem's are going to lose seats .... blah blah blah... yeah they might but nothing will change and several races are turning up for the Dems (see Periello in Va 5th). That all depends on the head count and we can count that yet.... we need to get all of our chickens out to be counted.

7. effects of Contract with America in 94 were GROSSLY distorted:

The truth about the fabled Contract With America is much different than Goldberg’s portrayal; in fact, he is propping up a thoroughly discredited bit of revisionist history. Rather than being the catalyst for the Republican’s 1994 victory, as many reporters have since portrayed it, the Contract with America actually made its debut only six weeks before the 1994 election, which makes its effect on the outcome a debatable proposition.

What isn’t debatable is that, back in the days before the 1994 election, the Contract’s celebrated “drama and clarity” was lost on the majority of Americans. The fact is, according to an article that appeared in the December 1994/January 1995 issue of Campaigns & Elections, “very few voters were even aware of this contract during the election: just 31 percent had heard of the Contract in a late October 1994....

this year's election is showing the typical american voter to be even STUPIDER/more ignorant/more selfish/more shortsighted than he was then

9. "Endust to America"?

The document itself is a JOKE - making fun of it is really redundant.
