Republican 'campaign promises'

[likwid]

So I'm sure most of you are all starry-eyed over your 'saviours' and all the 'pain' you're going to bring to democrats next week, but lets hear all the wonderful campaign promises that have been made.

We all know they won't happen, but I'm curious what has made you all doe eyed and made a wet spot.

Off the top of my head:

Stop out of control spending and the size of government, exception defense spending.

Repeal and replace the government plan to take over HC.

Reform congress and restore trust.

Restore our economy and jobs, with tax breaks thru the private enterprises.

Keep America safe here and abroad.


I would give them 2 years to start making progress and vote them out
if not.

All bland, open-ended promises with no actual method to produce.

It's as if I go into work tomorrow and declare "I'm going to make us more profitable" and end it at that without any plan to do so.

JD, likwid asked for "promises" not "plans."

One "Plan" I know they are working on is bill HR4972 introduced by Congressman
Steve King to repeal HC and is currently before 8 committees.

Will it make it through, who knows, a lot will depend on Tuesdays outcome.

Johnny D, you sound like someone who is so blinded by your opposition to one party, that you can't register what they are saying (I could be wrong, I don't know you).

Cut insane spending. Reduce massive federal entitlement programs that provide a disincentive to excel. Reduce taxes, putting money in our pockets, which can only have a stimulative impact on the economy. Work towards balancing the budget. Secure our borders and encourage legal immigration. Scrap Obamacare. Military tribunals, not civilian trials, for captured terrorists. Stand up to labor unions.

Am I going too fast for you? What about that don't you understand? Is that not more specific than "hope and change", which was someone else's campaign promise? Now THAT'S bland.

There is a republican congressional candidate in Michigan whose slogan is "less we can". Brilliant.

Big government, with massive entitlement programs, simply doesn't work. Look at Greece, Iceland, France, Great Britain, Ireland. Those countries are a few years further down this road then we are, and Democrats want to simply follow them into the abyss?

For many that come here, having a -R at the end of the name is all they need to see.

How's your "saviour" doing?
Throw them all out, R's and D's.

Agree with Just Plug It and Jim in CT.

That is what I am voting for. Whether they deliver or not, will be judged later and I will vote accordingly. I dont blindly vote for republicans.
Ask yourself this. Fill in the blank - In the last 4 years of a democratic controlled congress and 2 yrs of a Democrat president we have saved money by _________.

You cant put in one thing! Not one! I am voting to fill in that blank. Im not voting for the govt to provide jobs, or improve the economy.
