  • "We Know What We Don't Like!"
    January 01, 2010 "We Know What We Don't Like!" Six weeks before the 1994 mid-term elections, Congressional Republicans issued a document called the "Contract with America." Based largely on President Ronald Reagan's 1985 State of the Union address, the "Contract" consisted of a series of promises; detailed actions the Republicans promised they would enact if they became the majority party in the House of Representatives for the first time in more than 40 years. History records that the GOP did successfully take back both the House and Senate in the 1994 election, and did manage to turn some of those promises into law -- for better or for worse, depending on one's point of view. Precisely what role the "Contract" played in that victory is still a matter of debate. Many argue that its overwhelmingly conservative agenda -- shrinking the size of government, lowering taxes, deregulation, tort, welfare reform, term limits -- struck a resonant chord with American voters, thus proving to be the lynchpin for Republican victory. Others dispute this, noting that Gingrich, DeLay, Armey, Boehner et al did not release the Heritage Foundation-drafted "Contract" until very late in the election cycle. These folks argue that voter anger and resentment over the Clintons' failed health care reform proposals had as much -- if not more -- to do with the historic Republican victory. Regardless of what side of the debate one supports, there is a single undeniable truth before us: that in 1994, Republican conservatives clearly knew what they were against, and were just as clearly capable of articulating both an ideology and a political program -- that which they were intent upon doing.

The 33-year-old state auditor is considered a slight favorite to become the first Republican governor in Missouri in 32 years. Bond's election campaign was almost derailed this summer, however, when another gubernatorial aspirant, State Rep. R.J. "Bus" King, Jr., revealed that Bond had signed an affidavit that he was a resident of Georgia in order to join the Georgia Bar in 1964. Since Missouri's constitution specifies that the governor must have been a state resident for 10 years prior to his election, King took Bond to court.
