h.r.963 motion it from now on, all democrats are officially weird. all in favor-- (crowd laughter drowns out speaker) - the contract mattered because it embodied the idea that you could actually be for something positive in an organized way and communicate it. - all in favor? - aye! - all right. (laughter) - all opposed? you know what, i don't care. you don't get to vote. (cheering) - the contract in republican circles is considered kind of the psychonic moment. - in some ways it kicked off the era that we're in now in terms of that fusion of the economic conservatism and the populism as well. but i think for the most part it's a reminder that good policy is good politics. (booing) - all right, pipe down. now look-- (laughter) - think about it this way, this said to every candidate, this is what we are gonna promise to the american people when we become the majority, we will deliver.
