My two important issues, inflation and the border, are addressed in the Republican's new version of the 1994 'Contract with America'. They have my vote!

Hold our feet to the fire. And on the very first day, we're going to repeal 87,000 IRS agents. So they're not going after you. We work for you. You don't work for us," said McCarthy.
"Over the over the past two years, Democrats in Washington have led America off-track," the preamble to McCarthy's document reads. "They created crisis after crisis: from crippling inflation and rampant crime, to failing schools, border chaos, and disrespect for our nation across the globe."
"The Commitment to America represents a new direction and better approach that will get our nation back on track," it adds.
On inflation, the agenda said Republicans will "Curb wasteful government spending that is raising the price of groceries, gas, cars, and housing, and growing our national debt."
On safety, it says the GOP will fund border security, fund police, "crack down" on leftist prosecutors and establish a "Select Committee on China."
The agenda also promises to "Advance a Parents' Bill of Rights," ensure "only women can compete in women's sports," ban proxy voting in Congress, increase government oversight and boost domestic energy.
I find the Democratic Party's response to this to be hilarious!

Apparently, lowering inflation and securing the border is "an extreme MAGA agenda". No, Speaker Pelosi, it is an American agenda, as every American, Republican, Democrat, and Independent, is suffering from inflation...
I have been looking around for it and cannot find it. It appears Mr. McCarthy revealed these details on a 'Fox and Friends' interview, this morning. The official unveiling is happening this afternoon, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Looking forward to perspective from “townies” who act concerned about the Republican Party “not having a platform” as if they are open-minded toward considering voting for a Republican, when really they are hardcore Democrats who would never vote for a Republican anyway.

I want to read it for myself.
Why is that a bad thing?
The Republican Party runs the gamut. Let’s see what the proposal includes. And I want details, not just inflammatory statements.

It’s not a bad thing. However, I’ve noticed that “townies” on this forum tend to feign concern about the “lack of a platform” for the Republican Party, yet would never consider voting for a Republican anyway. So I’m looking forward to hearing some thoughts from the “townie” contingent on this forum.

Happy to share my thoughts once I actually read and digest it.
I have really been unhappy with the legislation currently being proposed by the republicans. The Lindsey graham abortion legislation is not what I would ever want to see enacted. But that’s me.
ANYTHING is better then what we have now. The Republicans are going to be a lot tougher on crime...thats for sure. They have my vote.
