A Pledge to America ( Archived) (220)

ttom500: So let us see how much propaganda the REP are splewing;

Key points of the Pledge of America are

1) Extend the GWB tax cut to all Americans. That is a horrible one that will keep wealthy in the country, rather leaving the country for countries in the Carribean and Europe.

2) A tax reduction of 20% to all small business. Now this is a job maker. Reduce taxes on the small business, and they will higher more people. They have more to hire with. But i can see when you think that big government is your sole source provider, this is really propaganda.

3) A hold of all unspent 2009 and 2008 TARP Stimulus moneys. Now this goes to the heart of the issue. DEM waant to spend that money. Pay as you go be dammed. That money was squeesed out of the American pockbetook by DEM for their purposes.

Heck with then fact that to date, the stimulus packages have only made 2m jobs at about $250,000 per job. Small communities like Bell,CA are stealing from it. And big Communities Like LA are making 7.76 jobs for every $41m taken from it. This is truly some heavy REP propaganada here. Obama's goal was to make 4.5m jobs with the Stimulus.

4) A spending freeze on most FED government program, with exemption for Social security and other senior programs. Well not that our national deficit has risen from 9.5trillion to 12.5trillion since Obama took office. This is one of those nasty REP ideas to slow the deficits.

5) A hiring freeze on all FED government agencies. Except those for national security. Again pointed at the deficit control.

6) Repeal of Obamacare

7)Reform of medical health insurance and medical liability

8)Permanent banning on all FEDERAl money for abortions

9)Requirement that Congress post online three day prior to votes all bills

10) Requirement that Congress cite specific Constitutional articles on bill passed. This is Tea Party lover idea. Basically it makes Congress restricted by the Constitution and responsible to enacting legislation only site in it. It will protect American rights and limit government
authority.

11)Ban on all trials of GITMO detainees in American soil. Their trials would have to be at GITMO or elsewhere than the US.

Juan, I guess these ideas are repugnant to DEMs. For you call them REP propaganda. They only seem to address many of the main debate issues
of country of the last 2 years. You know the things that REP and conservatives found repugnant to a all DEM controlled government.

Or maybe it how the REP lead into the 21 pages by saying the following
"An arrogant and out of touch government by self appointed elitists that makes decisions, issue mandates, and enacts laws without accepting or requesting input of the many."

Maybe it is the later is problem here.

ttom500: Just a question, Juan. Have you read the REP Pledge to America? It is only 21 pages long. Easy enough to read in 30 minutes time.

moonmana1: Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel " pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land".

Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land".

Now Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels, and mortgaged the Promised Land!

I was so depressed last night thinking about health care plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, social security, retirement funds, etc. So, I called Lifeline, the suicide help line. Got a freakin' call center in Pakistan and when I told them I was suicidal, they all got excited and asked if I could drive a truck...
