It's Hard to Believe It's Been Ten Years.....

It's hard to believe it's been ten years since another Emory alum, Newt Gingrich, led the Republican revolution. Newt's vision enabled the Republican Congress to balance the budget, reform welfare, and basically do everything that Clinton now takes credit for. Click here for a good article about Newt's Contract With America. I guess I started this post with the understand that Henry would let it get to his head. You see, Henry, MC and I decided that if we were politicians, MC would be Dubya, Henry would be Newt and I would be, well of course Karl Rove.

UPDATE: Alright I couldn't resist. MC would be Dubya because although a conservative at heart, he can get along with the other side. Also, he's greatly underestimated by his opponents. Henry would be Newt because he is an idealogue that believes deeply in conservative and capitalistic values. Also, he's a stickler for details. I would be Karl Rove because I beat the other side by having a better strategy, my opponents think I'm evil (which I get a kick out of), and I love to win.

Truly it is a remarkable positive mark on the history of our Congress. I mean this agenda was not only revolutionary but widely thought impossible due to bureaucracy in Washington. Just goes to show what can happen when a little positive attitude and a willingness to let people be individuals. Awesome what can happen in a representative democracy embracing capitalism ideals when given proper opportunity/legislation and the people then expecting the most from their elected representatives to truly and honestly fix problems rather than sugar coating to win the next election.
