Re: A Contract with the Earth
Jeez Bob, you seem to be taking no prisoners! Glad I am not the driver.
Newt has had his moments bad and good, but the lack of consensus does not begin with him or the Republicans, of any era, but rather is sadly a widely shared curse. The poison of politics is universally administered and consumed.
Politics of division is amply employed to advantage by both parties. Usually by Republicans along lines of economics and by Democrats along lines of race and culture. This sad state of affairs is nothing new.
The founding fathers made our system of government one that exists in tension and conflict. I think in truth things only seem worse now because the things that are happening now are, well, happening now.
