Here's a loose translation of the Republican's recently rolled out "Pledge to America".If we, the republican party, regain control of congress in the upcoming elections, we hereby pledge to:
-repeal health care reform thereby making it possible for insurance companies and HMO's to hold the American people hostage again. After all, insurance companies are our real constituents.
-resort to the tried (and failed) policies of the Bush/Cheney era.
-run up our own national deficit like before but this time call it something else so we can still blame the Obama administration.
-continue to throw obstacles in the way of real progress but say it's justified because the voters told us to do it.
-provide even more power and wealth to the already most powerful and wealthiest segment of society. Oh, the rest of you? Two words and they're not 'Hi there'.
-forget this 'dialogue' and 'diplomacy' crap with the Irans and North Koreas of the world. Bomb them into submission. Who needs 'em?
-cut spending-a lot-in Medicare, Social Security and Veterans' benefits. Who cares about those people anyway? We got ours!!
-and, finally, continue to spread division, mistrust, hostility and confrontation throughout the country. It builds character.
Now get out there and vote Republican. Oh. One more thing. Watch out for those Tea Party wing nuts. We're not too sure about them!

I spent 3 hours the other night at the side of a very dear friend who's not doing too well at all...and almost the whole time I was there he had Fox News on. Apparently, it's tax week there! (Thought that was around Apr. 15th, but maybe they've changed that too.) The propaganda on that station is beyond belief! At 7:00, I had to turn on the Yankee game. And even as a Mets fan, I was totally filled with relief! Scary to think about what they're putting out there!
Just got around to reading this one.
You need to do an "I TOLD YOU SO" and re-list each point as the Republicans fulfill their pledge. Notice I wrote "as" not "if."
