Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Didn't take long for the newly elected Democrat Majority to start breaking major campaign promises. This from a Washington Post article by Jonathan Weisman: [ QUOTE ] It was a solemn pledge, repeated by Democratic leaders and candidates over and over: If elected to the majority in Congress, Democrats would implement all of the recommendations of the bipartisan commission that examined the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. But with control of Congress now secured, Democratic leaders have decided for now against implementing the one measure that would affect them most directly: a wholesale reorganization of Congress to improve oversight and funding of the nation's intelligence agencies. Instead, Democratic leaders may create a panel to look at the issue and produce recommendations, according to congressional aides and lawmakers. [/ QUOTE ] Typical - Let's appoint a commission to study some problem, but Heavin forbid that they actually DO anything. Why am I not surprised????

You mean you actually expected them to hold up to what they said. That is pretty funny. Think there is a really good chance the dems will really screw up their chances for 08.
