275: Review of the "Commitment to America"

P&C drink and review yet another offering from the Pastryarchy -- an Almond Brittle Imperial Stout -- then discuss the Republican Party's "Commitment to America."  Newt Gingrich famously engineered a Republican revolution with his Contract with America. Contemporary Republicans are trying to imitate that strategy with their Commitment to America. It's an attempt to put forward a positive message.  The boys love the idea but are not impressed with the details.  Overall, the commitment expresses nice sentiments, but it doesn't provide enough detail. The Contract with America put forward ten specific pieces of legislation which people could read. The Commitment to America is just a bunch of vague sayings with no details.  The Commitment also seems to tread on federalism, promoting to make changes that are not in the federal government's purview.  Overall, the boys are not pleased with the effort. It seems too wishy-washy.
