Democrats used to love to bash President Bush for sending America to war without asking Americans to sacrifice. Now that it is an election year, you won't hear the s-word coming out of their lips. The Democratic National Committee draft platform is all goodies.
The draft, "Renewing America's Promise," says the party will heed the American desire to "abandon the politics of partisan division" - and they are eager to do so, as soon as they are done blaming Republicans for high gasoline prices, the mortgage meltdown and an "unnecessary war." ...
And: "The American people do not want government to solve all our problems." But the Dems still promise to "provide immediate relief to working people who have lost their jobs, families who have lost their homes and people who have lost their way." (Read: everyone.)
Pay attention, grasshopper. The DNC wants an America in which "every American is empowered to be a watchdog and a whistle-blower."
Other language is easier to understand. Just think dollar signs. Lots of dollar signs.
There's the "immediate energy rebate" - Sen. Barack Obama has proposed a rebate sequel that would send $1,000 to families to make up for high fuel prices. It's part of a plan to spend $50 billion to jump-start the economy. Seniors win, too. Renewing America's Promise calls for eliminating income taxes for seniors who make less than $50,000 a year - because "every senior deserves to live out their life with dignity and respect." ...
The draft platform promises to provide every American access to "affordable, comprehensive health care," and to achieve "long-overdue mental health and addiction treatment parity." That's right: The Dems will expand the number of people who receive subsidized health care, provide better benefits, and you apparently don't have to worry about costs going up.

“Renewing America’s Promise”
Laughable. I guess I forgot America’s “former” greatness was due to socialism/Marxism, hatred for the military, anti-patriotism, Political Correctness, the NEA and ACLU, and homosexuality.
Oh yeah, and 40 million abortions.
“proposed a rebate sequel that would send $1,000 to families” Thats after he allows the Bush tax cuts to expires which on average will increase families taxes by $2500 per years so BHO only gives you a $1500 tax increase disguised as a $1000 tax credit thats the Liberal fuzzy math at work.
What “promise” would that be? Religious freedom? The right to keep and bear arms? The right to keep the money we earn without it being taken away be the government? The right to keep our own private property without it being taken away by the government? Which promise?
Cuba has instituted through its secret police a vast network of neighborhood spies that seeks to check up on every one of its citizens

eliminating income taxes for seniors who make less than $50,000 a year
Well, I could get behind that. But I dont believe the Democrats will come through on that promise.
because "every senior deserves to live out their life with dignity and respect." ...
But not all other taxpayers, huh?
I hear Pelosi said “let’s begin anew”.
That’s right Pelosi;
“Let’s begin anew
By getting rid of you
Yes, let’s do”
“People who have lost their way?”
I’m have the darndest time finding the Quicki Mart. Can I have $500?
