now that i've read the "pledge pocket card" i see the diabolical genius behind the gop pledge: they know they'll never have to follow through on much, if any, of it!

that's because even if they win both houses of congress they won't get a big enough majority to get it past a senate filibuster (unless they win all 37 races!), and they certainly won't have the 67 votes needed to override a presidential veto.

all they'll have to do to explain why they haven't kept their pledge is blame it on the dems, something they always get away with, most likely because they can at will set up a media drumbeat on FOX news, talk radio, and rightwing newspapers like the wall street journal and the NY post, doggone it, darn right, you betcha!
