In a One Big Tent America, everyone deserves a fair chance to succeed. We shouldn't trade in the legacy of the New Deal and Fair Deal for a Raw Deal....
Democrats called the latest formal list of Republican promises the "Pledge to Destroy America." The destruction was done by the damned lies that denigrated trust in political institutions. It was deliberately done to diminish America's democratic government.
If Congress wants an America that knows what it stands for, where things get done and where civility actually matters, it will set the example by signing the Purple America Pledge.
In the midst of the debt ceiling frenzy, nobody seems to have noticed that Obama is negotiating in a markedly different way than what we've seen from him in the past. He is at the absolute center of the showdown.
Some of the better conservative talk radio hosts can be fearless questioners, even if their queries have everything to do with their political agenda and nothing to do with exposing the whole truth.

Prior to taking office, the GOP made a bunch of promises to the American people about what they would do to make everything perfect again. They wrote them down, in a "Pledge To America." Then they went to a hardware store, one of America's most sacred places, to unveil their promises. And there was one promise so nice that they promised it twice! It was pretty easy to understand: $100 billion of government spending cuts in "the first year alone." But it turns out that many of the House GOP's promises have something of a transient nature, and in this case, words seem to have no real meaning.

It's what people believe you are that matters.

The "Pledge to America" proposing to "freeze hiring" for all "non-security related" federal employees is short on details, but it is not that hard to do the math, and the results show some major shortcomings.
Editor's note for those new to Pollster: 'Outliers' is a feature we ordinarily try to post on a near daily basis. Our aim is to point to analysis else...
The "Pledge to America" is, in truth, a pledge to continue the same policies that brought us the current economic crisis.
