State Dems Drop Ball on Campaign Promises

House Minority Leader and GOP state chair Mike Hubbert hits it right on, and there is no pretty way for the Democrats to spin it. The Democrats in the state legislature have dropped the ball pretty spectacularly on their campaign promises, aka their “Covenant for the Future.”

The bar was set low enough that they didn’t even promise to pass them if they were elected, just that they would ensure a vote in the first ten days, but they have not even met that bar. Some of the proposed bills have not even been filed.

Some of them were mistakes in the first place, from the Parlor’s perspective. They didn’t look like Democrats in making some of them, and they don’t look honorable in forgetting that they made them.

    I posted about this earlier. So far most of the comments have ignored the faults that Hubbard pointed out and instead pointed out the faults in the Republicans.

    It’s a dog eat dog world out there.

    Sounds like the spin machines on both sides are revving up and heading for third gear.

    Yet I find there is wisdom in preferring King Log over King Stork.
