| Postcards From the Pledge | ||
Sad, but true. As I keep saying, the Republicans think you're a moron and you'll fall for the same old song and dance that got us into this mess. That's your choice this fall in the voting booth: the Republicans of 1994-2008, or the Democrats, trying to fix years of problems from 2008-2010.
For their part, the Democrats are on the attack, led by President Obama's weekly address this morning:
The GOP's "Pledge to America," Obama said Saturday during his weekly radio address, promotes "the very same policies that led to the economic crisis in the first place."
"It is grounded in the same worn-out philosophy: cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires; cut the rules for Wall Street and the special interests; and cut the middle class loose to fend for itself," Obama said.
"That’s not a prescription for a better future. It’s an echo of a disastrous decade we can’t afford to relive."
Smart. The Pledge has mostly fallen on deaf ears on both sides of the line and for the same reason: it's old, it's tired, it's been tried before, and it's failed. Both sides admit that, otherwise you would have seen Obama elected and the Tea Party created in response.
