No but you will endlessly bitch no matter what the GOP does.
Sure the Pledge is not perfect but nothing in life ever is.
This habitual pouting for perfection from the always bitching caucus of Feeper purists is really childish.
This document, imperfect as it is, is only 100% better then anything we have gotten out of DC since Reagan was President.
And yes, that includes the 1994 Contract.
For example, this document, as imperfect as it is, is a whole lot more specific on what the GOP plans to do to reign in spending then the Contract was.
Perhaps you might explain to us, why you have such an ax to grind with the GOP that you can never find anything to do but bitch about them?
I love that sentence.
You're right, of course. That pledge is just fine...remember, at some point we'll be able to hold feet to fire. For that reason alone you gotta see it as a positive thing.
The only issue I have with this is the Contract With America was met. It remains to be seen how successful the Pledge will be.
Every issue on the Contract was met and, if I remember right, only one failed to pass. Promises made, promises kept. Each item was brought up within the first 100 days.
Wallace points out the defecit record of the dem congress. Steny Hoyer defends it by saying it is a better record than they inherited?! lol
Steny says we were in a “deep hole” (which they’ve been continuing to dig for the last two years)
On the Pledge to America, Hoyer agrees with conservatives that it is “milk-toast”. Wallace points out that those conservatives don’t like it because it doesn’t go far enough in cutting spending, etc.
Hoyer blames Repub’s for not extending the Bush tax cuts. Wallace points out the dem’s hold the majority. Hello??!!
