GOP Has a New Plan

Reminiscent of 1994, Republicans rolled out a 21st century version of their Contract With America. But don't call this one a contract because it's a "Pledge to America."

The 1994 success resulted in Republicans picking up 50+ house seats and 8 senate seats.  Know what else it brought?  A witch hunt of a Democratic president and his eventual impeachment in the house.  With the Republican crazy even stronger today, plus the bare fact their Party is being led by a drug-addicted radio host and a half-term governor who believes only those that support Republicans are real Americans, there's no reason whatsoever to doubt that if given control of Capitol Hill again they will do the exact same thing to this Democratic president.

Let's get to the policy, however.  What are their plans?  Trust me this one is totally unpredictable.

1. Repeal HCR and replace with their version.
2. Make Bush Tax Cuts permanent
3. Shrink government
4. Reduce spending and rein in the deficit
5. Restore morals, values and trust back to government
6. Secure the country and its borders

Oh yeah no one could have guessed this plan.  What's their track record on actually doing this stuff?

1. The last time Republicans tried to fix health care it resulted in the largest expansion of Medicare in history; an expansion that is totally unfunded and adds nearly a trillion dollars to the deficit.
2. They did give us the deficit expanding tax cuts in the first place so it's very possible they can do this one, but it will be vetoed by Obama so that brings the chances back to zero.
3. Never in the history of the world have Republicans ever shrunk government.  NEVER.  Their only track record is expanding government.  No one grew government faster and bigger than George W. Bush and he did it with a Republican-controlled Congress.
4. Never has the modern Republican Party ever reduced spending or reined in the deficit.  NEVER.  Just the opposite is their track record.  George Bush increased spending more than any president in history.  Take for instance, Clinton's last budget was for $1.1 trillion.  Bush's final was $3.1 trillion and that's before TARP and his other bailouts.  They have no history of ever doing this goal, of which they've been talking about for 30-plus years.
5. Morals, values and trust?
6. The last time Republicans claimed to secure our country we invaded Iraq.

There you have it.
