The Republicans' Pledge To America

Now, we all know that the Republicans have just released their plan of action or as some would say, thier current political ideology, for the upcoming election that most Republicans will stick to in their runnings.
If you missed it you can see it here:
http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-s ... the-pledge
Basically, everything that they've pledged, they've pledged in the past, and this is supposed to be 'new?' Well, anyways, they really didn't promise anything about what they were supposed to like cutting social security, medicare, or medicaide. It's really more of an ideology instead of actual plans.

If you watch that video, you can actually see that people over at Fox don't like this, either.
Boehner obviously just wanted to avoid everything that was thrown at him instead of just answering the questions. Sounds like Fox is trying to move from the Republicanism to the Tea Party.
Maybe gearing up for Beck+Palin 2012? Dunno.
Discuss.

Re: The Republicans' Pledge To America

The pledge to America isn't supposed to represent a "new" concept. It is actually a return to core concepts and principles that have been around since the formation of the Republican Party.

The principles are "new" in the fact that over the last 18 years no one in the White House has followed them and so whomever gets nominated in 2012 will be the personification of these principles. John Stuart knows this and he is using this opportunity to make fun of politicians. It's what he does and he is good at it.

Elections have become little more than shows anyways with people barely remembering or ever knowing what a candidate truly stands for. They cast their votes as if they were betting on a horse; it"s no wonder why both processes are called races.

Re: The Republicans' Pledge To America

Yah... watching the ads that candidates are running now a days is pretty sad. Many of them are using scare tactics on people without actually ever putting in the facts.

Re: The Republicans' Pledge To America

http://pledge.gop.gov/ Here's their official site.
And I quote directly from the site, "A Pledge to America - A New Republican Governing Agenda"
Doesn't sound new, or even like an agenda. It couldn't possibly be talking about 'new' as in, 'they aren't using it now in the government,' because it says that it's a "New Republican" agenda.

@Monkey: Yeah, people know that terrorism works, so they include it in their ads.

I get your point but I already explained it to you so re-read my post if you still don't understand.

Well, if it isn't supposed to be new, then why do they keep saying that it is?

I read that... But the Republicans, at least from their viewpoint, have.

Done searching. You can continue to find your own if you want more, just google "Republican Party lost its way".

Re: The Republicans' Pledge To America

How come they call it their new agenda? I don't need to look at other websites, because it's on their official website. In fact, it's the title!

Re: The Republicans' Pledge To America

We're going in circles here. They say it's new. You said that they are saying it's new to the government. They aren't. They are saying it's new to the Republicans, too.
I get exactly what you're saying, but they are saying that it's new, even though it holds old values. I could say I have a new outlook on life and that is to donate a lot of money to the church. Well, that idea has been out for a while, but it's a new action plan (AKA agenda) for me. So, it's new, but old values.
I don't why this is so complicated.

Re: The Republicans' Pledge To America

UGH, It's "new" because as I stated before it's been almost 20 years since anyone followed the principles AND

Bush? All people remember are the imperialistic policies that he put into place.
Clinton? No one can get past the Jewish girl sucking his dick.
Daddy Bush? He raised taxes and took us to Iraq the first time.
Reagan? You should know about him from school.

But none of that matters. What matters is was W a real Republican This book says no.
Obama isn't obviously, but claims to admire Reagan.

So what does the Republican part have to run on? Their core policies that haven't been used in 20 years. That's what makes them "New" because it isn't anything that has been practiced in nearly 2 decades.

Please try to understand ok?

Why is this some kind of debate? We're saying the exact same thing.
