He's not incharge of anything except to help fundraising...

In 1997, would you said the head the RNC was the head of the Republican Party, or was it Newt Gingrich? Cmon without wikipedia you don't even know who the 1997 RNC chairman was...

This is funny, you are complaining about leadership when the Deputy Whip (top GOP leadership position) has resigned and is shown by 5+ pages to be a online sexual predator

And they get that primarily from the far left! If you don't think they have a solid grip on the party these days perhaps you are too close to them to notice?

No because the head of the RNC does his job as you describe above and otherwise is not very well known. True to this day. But your party pics a very public loudmouth who loves the media spotlight and never stops. Don't tell me comments like "Republicans are evil" doesn't play to the hard left? And Pelosi as the next speaker? Give me a break! Might as well be Boxer!

Speculation

In 1994 I have memories of people worrying they were going to eliminate welfare, end all social programs, slash taxes to almost nothing, ban abortions, school vouchers, machine guns for everyone, etc etc

It's been 12 years, what have they done? Close to fucking nothing

"Republican Revolution" my ass

The Dems will take power, pass popular laws like minimum wage, authorize wiretaps for the war on terror along with other tools, have oversight hearings on Iraq...and thats it, everything else will be gridlocked because of Bush

Come 2008 people are going to go "hey...the Dems weren't so bad, in fact I liked a lot of the things they did!"

If you were following politics then you know the Contract with America was all over the place. It was on the news, it seemed, every night. Saying no one had ever heard of it is just stupid.

I think every thing in the contract passed except one. I can't remember what it was. And it all passed in the first 100 days to I believe.

Min wage hikes + higher taxes = nightmare
