The republican defence was just as pathetic.. Oh now so helping small biz is bailouts and tax increases?

This "Pledge to America" Is starting to be a dream come true for democrats picking it apart piece by piece to show how republicans vote against what they stand for time and time again.

Isn't this the kind of knee-jerk reaction that you were just deriding Team R for?

Also forgot to mention that the 'pledge' basically says "If we (conservatives not R vs D) gain control of congress agin, we pledge to stand by these standards".

Well right now they do not have contorl of congress and the climate on capitol hill is us tax and spend kensyian economic model vs them lower taxes smaller goverment and the one senator decided to join the 'us'.

I disagree with that, especially given the fact that the banner headline reads 'The 2010 Republican Agenda'.
