Everything for Youns

How do these Political Promises stack up? When do you think these promises were made? Sounds like it could be used today?

Honest Government
Trust, pride, and respect: we pledge to restore these qualities to the way Americans view their government.

Keeping Intelligence Free of Politics
Nor should the intelligence community be made the scapegoat for political misjudgments. A Republican administration working with the Congress will respect the needs and quiet sacrifices of these public servants as it strengthens America’s intelligence and counter-intelligence capabilities…

Diplomacy and Maintaining Allies
The arrogance, inconsistency, and unreliability of the administration’s diplomacy have undermined American alliances, alienated friends, and emboldened our adversaries.

Endless Military Missions, Exit Strategies and Troop Readiness
The current administration has casually sent American armed forces on dozens of missions without clear goals, realizable objectives, favorable rules of engagement, or defined exit strategies.

Sending our military on vague, aimless, and endless missions rapidly saps morale. Even the highest morale is eventually undermined by back-to-back deployments, poor pay, shortages of spare parts and equipment, inadequate training, and rapidly declining readiness. When it comes to military health, the administration is not providing an adequate military health care system…

Restoring the Rule of Law and the Justice Department
The rule of law, the very foundation for a free society, has been under assault, not only by criminals from the ground up, but also from the top down. An administration that lives by evasion, coverup, stonewalling, and duplicity has given us a totally discredited Department of Justice. The credibility of those who now manage the nation’s top law enforcement agency is tragically eroded. We are fortunate to have its dedicated career workforce, especially its criminal prosecutors, who have faced the unprecedented politicization of decisions regarding both personnel and investigations.

Skyrocketing Gas Prices
Today, gas prices have skyrocketed, and oil imports are at all-time highs….By any reasonable standard, the Department of Energy has utterly failed in its mission to safeguard America’s energy security.

In 2000, the Bush Administration cronies took over the Republican Party and laid out its promises to the American people. They spoke against the Clinton administration continually. And Gas Prices? They were then $1.55 per gallon. Something we only dream about today.

These pledges and claims are taken directly from the 2000 GOP Platform. Should we laugh or cry at promises made by an administration that has ruled through deception, endless war, politicization of intelligence and the Justice Department, outing CIA officers, and the like?

Broken promises and lies – that is the GOP and Bush Legacy for this Administration. Not even during the Clinton era has lies cost so many lives and the respect of the American people throughout the world. Because of this Administration, the Constitution and the rights of the people have been relagated to a corner of forgotten history.

It’s time to hold everyone accountable for their actions and their words!
