As I’ve said in other threads:

In 2008 this would have been a great plan. In 2010 it looks more like the GOP is (1) trying to play me-too with the tea party, and (2) also trying to fend off pressure from the tea party movement to do even more.

EXCELLENT

No doubt about it.......the dems are for the status quo.

This frames the election perfectly.

Ole Erick can stick his opinion you know where.

Thinking about the Republican's "Pledge to America" are you in favor of cutting the deficit, refusing to raise taxes, reducing entitlements, and bringing a sense of fairness back to the Congress? Or, are you in favor of the status quo?...."If you can keep the debate at the values level," he taught me, "your opponent can't get into the game."

And if you can keep the debate at the values level, you don't have to commit to repealing any particular piece of standing legislation or taxation, either. I'd like to see a Pledge To America that commits to these six words:

"Public Law 111-148 is hereby repealed"

Look at Obama's promises:

He's made a terrible mess trying to pay off all his unions..and other rats.

More words, worthless words. Status Quo. Most Republicans are still out to lunch and probably with Democrats.
