The republicans have, for four years, pondered the problem of how to convince the electorate to vote them back into power without changing anything. The solution they came up with was the "Pledge to America".
Just like the jocks in high school that keep looking for a way to pass a class without studying, they cribbed Newt's "Contract on America" from the 90's.
You know what our former president, the smaller Bush, said, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me -- you can't get fooled again." Even said it in front of a backdrop that said, "Pledge Across America".
Whether they call it a pledge, a promise, or a contract, the bottom line is these guys are going to try to fool us again. Boehner proudly supports everything he supported four years ago, this after he and his gang went on a "listening tour" a year and a half ago, and putting up a website called "America Speaking Out" on which legalizing marijuana was one of the more popular ideas.
Well, we aren't going to get marijuana legalized, and we won't get any other new ideas. And they are telling us they aren't going to change.
But jeez, they really mean it this time -- they took off their jackets at the pizzeria, and even when they unveiled their "Pledge". Doesn't that count for anything?
