Ken,

That just isn't true. About 70% of the Contract
With America became law. The only major portions
that failed were the "Wise Use" provisions (killed
by Republicans in committee), Term Limits, the
Line Item Veto (killed by Supreme Court), and the
Balanced Budget Amendment (failed by 1 vote in the
Senate).

In fact, if you look at the economy, it didn't
take off till 1994 when the Republicans took charge.

-John

The revolution apparently resulted with the effective control of all three branches of the Federal government, the first time since Ike.

I guess it was a wash!!!
