... after he promised that he could deliver them.
The point being, government can't give anyone anything without taking more from someone else and skimming off the top for their efforts. Once the big government types, like Daschle, make a promise like that, they either don't deliver or they rip someone else off.
What's wrong with pointing out the Democrats' failures to deliver on hollow promises?
It only bothers me when the promises themselves are insulting.
