It looks like something a party would put out when they think they have the election in the bag.
Kind of a prevent - defense thing.

Of all the cornball antics I have seen, isn't this a repeat of the contract with America of 1994? Something tells me that the Republicans will try ANYTHING to regain power, including risking the temperment of the American people.
I mean--have they forgotten that they already broke their promises. What good is renewing the promise you broke going to do.
I consider this a 3 in terms of political adeptness. Wait--make that a 2, it turns out they did nothing but repeat all the things they said they were going to do over the past 2 years.
The Reps did not have to write that down! They could Youtube it!
The only thing I see bad about it. Is it does not go far enough, and does not seem to really hold anyone's feet to the fire about actually doing what they say in it.
The contract had over 300 candidates sign it, and spelled out specific Bills they would vote on in the first 100 Days of office. This seems like meaningless words to me.
Not impressed.
I want action not words.
Welllll, they have to get elected first in order to take action.

True enough. I just think if you are going to do something like the Contract with America. Then do something like that. Put the actual Bills you will vote on down on paper, and sign it. Give us a time table. Something we can point to and say. You said you would do this by now damn it!

That is a good idea except one problem.
They could name something that is not actually popular and damage their election chances.
Of course, considering how the Democrats are viewed by the general populace, the Republicans could say "The Democrats are right! Vote for the Democrats" and still win with overwhelming margins!

It does look like a Political slaughter.
The really strange thing about all this is that the Dems campaigns appearance of sheep in a grassy field!
But then--what can they run on? The Healthcare Bill? TARP? A trillion dollar Keysian influenced Stimulus Bill that has yet to produce jobs?
Wait--those are not things the Dems can run on! Those are things the Republicans can argue against. OH POOR DEMOCRATS!

I like the one we have to our Flag betterPledge to America--What do you think about it?
TARP. That came from the Republicans.
The first Stimulus Bill, once again - Republican.
Actually, in 10 years under Bush, they were the ONLY things Republicans got right. Isn't that funny?

Pledge to America, my ass. Bunch of losers. You would think that we would learn, but, no, our political ass in the GOP continues to be reamed by Big Business. Republicans, the rest of America will not follow this: it goes back to the old Bush policies.
The small wack far far far far right are buying the Moonshine on America.
Good thinking Americans, about 70%, know the Pledge is horseshit.
