The Dems are free to circulate a pledge of their own, and live with the language in it, this pledge is signed totally voluntarily with no coercion from the party, overt or subtle. This is hardly the only pledge out there available to be signed. People must live with the consequences of their pledges and their votes, if the Dems want to try to get their caucus to sign pledges that many would consider unreasonable then come November they'll pay for it, or not, as appropriate.

Many will find any pledge unreasonable. Joel - 19/09/2011 07:01:20 AM 583 Views
Too bad for them, any pledge stands or falls on its own merits just like in real life Isaac - 19/09/2011 08:35:13 PM 567 Views

Maybe I should be clearer Roland00 - 19/09/2011 02:59:34 AM 638 Views
I've long felt the capital gains rate has ruined public companies Tom - 19/09/2011 05:13:40 AM 536 Views

It doesn't have to be Isaac - 21/09/2011 07:45:31 PM 680 Views
Your solution is to tax people's savings? Tax "money storage", so that would be banks, right? Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:29:36 PM 650 Views
I don't recall saying it was my solution Isaac - 25/09/2011 05:01:56 PM 729 Views
