The former speaker of the House wants to recreate the mid-90s success of the "Contract with America." Last week, Newt Gingrich unveiled a "21st Century Contract with America" that he believes sets his bid for the GOP presidential nod apart from the rest of the crowded field. "I don't think slightly more conservative, normal politics is going to solve our problems," Mr. Gingrich said in an interview with The Washington Times.
His new contract is meant to be bold, with a call to cut the corporate tax rate to 12.5 percent, eliminate the capital-gains tax and give Americans the option to pay a simple flat tax instead of the complicated current income tax rates. He also would let young people choose whether they want to put their savings into private retirement accounts instead of the failin...

Congressional leaders are inching closer to a deal on how much to cut federal spending for the next six months -- and pretty much ignoring the spending-cut absolutists of the tea party, the grass- roots movement that's losing influence despite having helped elect dozens of Republicans last November.
Tea party activists had hoped to send a loud message Thursday to Republican lawmakers, telling them at a long-scheduled Capitol Hill rally either to stick to tough budget-slashing principles or face the movement's wrath.

In any case, the next U.S. president will feel free to work out with the Iraqis what to do about American troops and contract employees. [Barack Obama] continues to believe American "combat troops" could withdraw "responsibly" by the end of 2010, while [John McCain] has suggested they could leave "victoriously" by January 2013.
Al-Maliki, on the other hand, wants Iraqis to believe any deal will call for the removal of ALL foreign troops, which hardly seems likely. The [Bush] administration is not at all ready to pull out completely, and al-Maliki himself still relies on American troops and other support to keep his government in power. So, the big questions remain unanswered: How many U.S. military advisers, trainers and other "non-combat" troops would stay in Iraq after "withdrawal?" A...
