House GOP living up to 'Pledge to America' - Jake Sherman - POLITICO.com

House GOP living up to 'Pledge to America'

Quote:
House Republicans aren’t quite batting 1.000 on the sweeping promises they made when they grabbed control of the House last year.

But they sure are coming close.

Six months into the Republican majority, a closer look at the GOP’s “Pledge to America” and its election-season promises shows the new majority has lived up to the agenda
They sure have. Unfortunately, they have to deal with the radical leftist in the WH, who is bent on implementing more of his destructive, failed policies.

And then we have the failed leadership in the Senate, controlled by the democrats, who have not passed a budget in approx 800 days.

They are truly the do-nothing Senate....but that will likely change in 2012...as the ones most responsible for allowing the ruinous obamacare to pass into law are faced with paying the piper.

Well they are definitely living up to the "Contract on America", question is, will we survive long enough to get the Repubs out of Congress in 2012?

Good bye Dems.... Feel free to move to any communist country of your choice. We on the right will provide a certificate swearing us to pay for a one way ticket each, but with a sworn statement you will sign to never return.

First your wrong in thinking I'm either....

But, the dem have been walking out for a while now....remember WI?

And, at least the repubs showed up and attempted to talk, correct? Did the dems do that? Did they sit down with the repubs?.....

Really? I don't think so.

PolitiFact | GOP Pledge-O-Meter: Campaign Promises that are Not yet rated

57 promises made according to politifact. 40 of 'em NOT EVEN RATED DUE TO NO PROGRESS.

That's a 70% INCOMPLETE!

More B.S. from GOP hacks and hatchet men.
