With all the BS that's flying about, I thought I would post this.
According to multiple sources, The Pledge includes the following proposals:
- Permanently extend the Bush tax cuts (all of them), or, as Republicans put it, a promise not to raise taxes on January 1, 2011 (the day the Bush tax cuts expire).
- Repeal and replace health care reform
- End the stimulus program
- A cap on discretionary spending
- Phase out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
- Permanently end the TARP program
- Keep Guantanamo open
- New sanctions on Iran and more money for missile defense
- Require every bill to be available online for three days before it is voted on.
- Require every bill to be certified as constitutional before it is voted on.

thats all they could come up with....
no wonder this country is so fucked...
i could come up with at least 100 things that are more important than those..
they want to get rid of tarp and fm/fm, but how about some tougher regs for wall street and the banking industry...
end tarp? great... what will you call it the next time the banks fail? farp (fucked asset relief program)
sanctions on iran are good, but missile defense? how about missile offense on iran..
repeal health care? so what, we can have a more fucked up system in place.. how about we put some regulation in for pharm and insurance companies..
if you people dont see through this is just another bullshit attempt to try to lobby some support for the november elections, then i dont know about the level of intelligence here..
if i were the republicans i would have come out with a book sized agenda and baffled people with bullshit...
Dear Mr. Ahmadinejad,
When you produce your first nuclear warhead, will you please point it
towards Washington D.C.
Also, please make sure that Congress is in session.
Love,
