Our proposals shouldn't be the usual high sounding, but non-specific slogans we usually shout. They should be like the Contract With America, specific legislative action which we will take right after being elected.

During the years right after Goldwater and right after Watergate, Republicans were truly in the minority in both houses, but they had influence by working with the Democratic leadership and by promising votes that made it unnmecessary for the Democratic leadership to get everyone in their party on board. Since we have gone into the minority, we oppose every thing and force a party line vote on every issue.
