When I am told something in concrete solemn Honor pledges

I'm not sure what separates political "Honer pledges" from political "non-Honor pledges".

All politicians make promises. And they make them publicly. Probably 1% of politicians get what they want. Pawlenty is promising 5% growth, for example. If he ever got elected I wouldn't crucify him if we got 4% instead.

There WILL be compromise, and both sides will howl. But in the end the GOP WILL get substantial spending reductions which will set us on the right path which is exactly what's needed. I don't need to get it all next week. But I DO need to know that we will no longer be going down Obama's road.

You just do not get it... you do not understand the precarious situation that we are in. There will be no more compromise... we cannot afford to compromise any longer. As Rush said, boehner has put his word on the line in absolute terms... and if the republicans cave one more time... the Tea Party will rise up and drive a stake through the heart of the party.

What part of THERE CAN BE NO COMPROMISE WITH COMMUNISM don't you understand??? Why is it republicans are the ones always selling their souls to compromise with dims? Don't you know that the left has destroyed this once great Nation through the use of INCREMENTALISM? Compromise is how INCREMENTALISM succeeds... NO MORE... NEVER AGAIN!
