How come no GOP presidential contender ever offers one simple pledge...

[Kosh]

Still waiting on the link where Hillary and Bernie made the pledge.

still waiting on you to hold your breath until you get it.

So the OP is setting a double standard?

Why would you expect Democrats to agree with something they fundamentally oppose? On the other hand it's the GOP who pretends to be the party of fiscal responsibility. Time for them to own up to it.

And proof why you should never vote far left!

RW's gladly sign a pledge NOT to raise taxes ... so there's another reason a balanced budget will never exist.

Republicans will CUT taxes and grow the economy. They will cut taxes on corporations and get them to stay in country and create jobs. Democrats will raise taxes on corporations, cause them to leave the country and stifle job creation.

I wonder why no one ever asks them if as president they will refuse to raise the debt ceiling.

Dr. Carson is close.

I will tell the nation that, beginning immediately, we will no longer borrow money from future generations to sustain the growth of government or empower it over ordinary Americans.

Beginning immediately, we will also end the un-American idea that we can have unlimited, unaccountable government through reckless, irresponsible and immoral borrowing against our future.

I will put Congress on notice. As president, I will not look favorably upon the idea of raising the debt limit when it comes into question. Until now, Congress and the president have been engaged in a game of chicken over every debt ceiling increase. This is a game I will not play, as I intend to shine the light on those responsible for spending the money in the first place. We will need to begin making cuts, ending programs, streamlining departments and agencies, stopping waste and eradicating spending so that Washington will live within its means just like ordinary Americans must.

You have to remember that JFK would not fit into the Democratic party of today!

The far left drones post is proof of that!

As much as I'd love to see a BBA, we're nowhere near being able to do that at this point.

They took in $3.2T, Make it work. no more debt.

I fully realize that both Bernie and Hillary are Socialists and so is the Democrat Party. The Party has become a vulture of the strong and successful and a Party that caters to the underachievers and losers of American society.

"I pledge to you that any budget that crosses my desk that is not balanced will be instantly vetoed."

Put your money where your mouth is.

Please post the link where Hillary and Bernie took this pledge of yours. LOL!!

WTF is wrong with you people

No they have gone back to their roots of slavery, just they use political slavery to achieve their goals..

Anyone with a full understanding of what socialism is, would never want it!

Neither one of those candidates are running as fiscal conservatives, so why the hell would anyone expect them to take that pledge?

I don't. I fully expect them to bankrupt the nation.

Then wouldn't you want a GOP to be the actual Fiscal Conservative?

Also Sanders nor Clinton would be able to get anything passed with a GOP House and a possible GOP Senate, so if the country does go bankrupt then the GOP Congress need to explain itself seeing they're the one that allowed it!

 

[MACAULAY]

They won't take the pledge because they are cowards.

And, they do face daunting and formidable enemy...the media in this country which has been taken over by hard leftist.

Paul Ryan is the last to take the chance...few years ago. He put forth proposal looking to fiscal responsibility...and within 3 days the Democrats had a look-alike Ryan wheel-chairing an old woman off a cliff...and the Left-Wing Media not only did not condemn this perverse absurdity...they applauded it.

So, the folks...the Traditional Americans... whose forefathers built this place into the greatest society ever known...are looking for a Republican with some intestinal fortitude.

They think they have found their man, but he seems to be bat-shit-crazy, and they are deciding whether they are desperate enough to take a risk on Crazy to defeat the combined malefactions of Incompetence & Corruption & Socialism.

No. To be equitable and fair and balanced though, I would have asked ALL candidates to take the pledge.

Most Liberals have already prophesied that the Democrats will win back the Senate by many seats. You don't subscribe to that?

1. I am not a Liberal.

2. Even if the Senate does fall the House will stay GOP, so again Clinton and Sanders will not get their agenda passed.

3. It would take the Democratic Party to win in 2018 for them to get the House, and I doubt it would happen then.

So no I do not subscribe to that thought process...

 

[leftwinger]

Sanders? yes he appears to be damaged goods from the 60s' agreed.
Trump? not quite. He has worked and built quite a business working in USA and Global systems.

Just tell them what you want. They will promise you anything. They won't do it, but they will promise anyway. The last bunch you elected are laughing at you because you believed their promises.

aint that the truth....and it will just keep on going like this,because so many no matter what,have to vote for that party of theirs.....even if they dont agree with them...

I'm not in the habit of asking for or expecting ANYTHING from the Democrats. They have gone so far left their party is unrecognizable from it's former self.

And yet the Democratic Party is as mainstream as it ever was. It's the country that's moved left, Grandpa.
