Pledge to America

The GOP has produced a new "Contract With America" type pledge.

I'm concerned that; 1) It will go the way of the old pledge (i.e. nowhere) and, 2) There's too much talk about new programs that will be so much better than the Democratic programs, when all we really want is FEWER programs and LESS government.

We won't know whether it's simple electioneering or if they mean it until after the election.  Even then, assuming the GOP retakes House and Senate both, they still have to face the possibility of Presidential vetoes of their reforms.

Anyone care to wager whether we make it to the 2012 elections without a South American-style revolution?  I don't.
