Democrats kept their campaign promises, what about Republicans?

1. que?
kept their promises?

they've continued to promise to keep their promises, and they may in fact keep them, but I don't see a lot of campaign promises kept, at least not in the form they were promised.

but to be fair, politicians always overshoot what they intend to do while running for office.

8. There will be Health Care Reform, whether it is what you want or not is another story
There is going to be a tremendous amount of good that comes from this Bill. Yes it is not the end all, be all of Health care but it is light years ahead of what we currently have..Childrens Health Care was passed SCHIP, Stimulus Bill was passed, Jobs Bill was passed. A better question would be what did Democrats campaign on that is not being addressed. Iraq war being wound down. When Obama came to Office there were 135,000 troops in Iraq, now there are 95,000 and dwindling almost daily. Compare with Republicans.. what did they promise and what did they deliver?...

10. Obama Campaigned On the Public Option.
That's just one of the MANY campaign promise he broke.

He double crossed himself! I'll bet he did it so he could get Barack out of the way and sleep with his wife.

16. The Democrats Campaigned On Ending the Wars and Fixing the Economy.
Edited on Thu Mar-18-10 10:22 AM by Toasterlad
Again, what campaign promises did the Democrats keep? Keeping in mind that the Health Care Reform that may or may not be passed is a dismal failure.
