[Hoot Gibson]

Oh I wouldn't obsess about it Hoot. I have come to realize the pragmatic view is a gift not visited upon most people, and therefore any limitations with which you may be encumbered are completely excusable. But somehow in the interest of preserving our country past the two century mark, I come up rather empty when trying to think of an example where any Dem or deepstater of late, has been held to account on the first darn thing.

So, because Democrats have low expectations for their politicians, conservatives and Republicans should also lower our expectations for those for whom we vote? It's okay for Republicans make campaign promises that they can't keep because Democrats don't keep their campaign promises?

Actually, Obama made good on his number one campaign promise. Democrats passed Obamacare. He also promised a war on coal and he delivered. Keeping promises, or at least making a good faith effort to keep them actually does work and it does get politicians re-elected. It is not unreasonable for Republicans to expect their presidents to keep their signature campaign promises - or to at least make a serious effort to keep them.
