From: Gary Britt 

I've definitely cut down the politics since the losers currently in
leadership positions in the party weren't all thrown out lock stock and
barrel and replaced with people who actually get it.

What this elections cycle proves to me among other things is:

1.  The party members in congress who led the coup against Newt were a
bunch of incompetent power hungry idiots.

2.  The worst thing the party did was to NOT pass the term limit provisions
contained in the Contract with America.  Decent and short enough term
limits would have kept these fat ass party leaders from getting too comfy
and too corrupt.
