"SNIP......

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will formally unveil a four-part “Commitment to America” in Pittsburgh on Sept. 19 to tell voters why they should vote for Republicans — not just against Democrats — in November, Axios reports.

.....SNIP"

Applegrove: too late GOP has put social security and Medicare, as things to be cut, on the table like a fish monger slapping a fish down on ice. It is going to start to stink in the months to come. Can't take it back.

1. Sounds a little like Contract with America, from the '90's

[Jade Fox]

5. I wondered why that sounded so familiar.....nt

[Zambero]

7. Oh yeah, term limits that Newt never pursued

What else was in that bill of goods?

[emulatorloo]

9. More like "Contract on America"

[Stinky The Clown]

16. Precisely that was the first thing that came to my mind.

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. You mean Contract on America, right? Newt's wet dream of

fucking over America - everyone, equally?

[2naSalit]

18. You mean...

sNewt's contract ON America that seems to be coming to it's fruition at present?

[Takket]

22. Yup. A steaming pile of bullshit

But the media lapped it up and pushed it in the public to help the rethugs. Contract with America was a household term back then.

McAwfully wants to capture that same sentiment.

[Volaris]

24. If it's a commitment akin to the ones GOPers make to their wives (speaking of Newt)

This will be DOA, and let's help serve the party its damn divorce papers.

[Whatthe_Firetruck]

30. I preferred...

... The term, Contract ON America. As in, nice country you got there, be a shame if anything happened to it.

[NoMoreRepugs]

2. With the ginormous bombshells being dropped every day thanks to the

SlobFather they are gonna need a little more than this IMO.

[Leghorn21]

3. Sounds great

[Zambero]

4. Lots to offer!

Abolishing bodily autonomy once and for all, establishing permanent minority rule, and hastening the rate and impact of climate change, not mention caving to a lying, thieving pathological narcissist hell-bent on destroying democracy. Such a deal! Good luck with your smoke and mirrors campaign, Kevin.

[BootinUp]

6. they can't sell it. nt

[The Unmitigated Gall]

8. That's about all you get from 'pukes

Empty slogans.

Tax cuts for rich people.

Government in your bedroom.

[emulatorloo]

10. And 'If you hate medicare and social security, vote Republican!'

If only they would be honest.

[emulatorloo]

11. How about a "Have MAGA Committed" rollout instead.

[Omnipresent]

26. Yes, he needs to provide plenty of "Redmeat" for the trumpsters...

Otherwise, tfg will be ever so cross with him.

[Walleye]

12. Remember when we were all gonna be able to file our taxes on a postcard?

They don’t have a very good record of promise keeping

[OAITW r.2.0]

14. I honestly can't tell you one thing that Republicans have done in the past 50 years

that was meant to help the broadest amount of Americans possible. Nothing. The Party of no platforms, no policies, no ideas, no nothing....except taxcuts for the very rich. That is it. Their whole reason for existence.

[crickets]

19. Nailed it.

I've come to the conclusion that tax cuts and judicial takeover have become their only real purpose. Actual governance for its own sake no longer holds any meaning for them.

[lindysalsagal]

15. "Commitment Of McCarthy" to the psych ward

Commitment to ruin their lives in every possible way imaginable....

[crickets]

17. So... how's that healthcare replacement act coming?

You got a plan lined up yet, fellas? It's only been about twelve years now.

Two weeks, you say?

Alrighty then.

I don't think women are reassured by vague hand wave-y assurances of "improved health outcomes for all Americans" given the Dobbs decision. Women aren't going to forget just because it isn't on the list.

None of the Republican dog and pony shows actually deliver anything they've promised on paper. However, once they've decided to come up with a catchy title, it usually means everyone (except the wealthiest among us) is about to suffer if they get their hands on the levers of power again.

[KPN]

20. Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Too funny!

[Brainfodder]

21. Should be a given, not a slogan.

We are going to need a bigger prison, I recommend it be OFF the mainland!

[Emile]

23. McCarthy doesn't know yet but,

even if by some wild imagination if they did win back the house, he will not be the speaker. Talk is they plan to give the speaker job to Donald Trump!

[dlk]

25. Newt Gingrich redux

Another rehash of the same garbage from the 90’s.

[rockfordfile]

27. ahhahahahaah we know that's bs. Hello Russia!

[BlueIdaho]

28. What a fucking joke.

The GQP has done NOTHING for America for over a decade. They have zero accomplishments to show for their ongoing Ayn Randian pro-fascist agenda. Kevin might as well save his breath.

[andym]

29. The GOP has a "Lack of commitment to America" but rather they have a "Commitment to Trump"

Perhaps that's what people should say in reference to the House Minority Leader's sloganeering.

[Heather MC]

31. Maybe he should focus on committing Donald Trump and leave the rest of the country

Alone🤷🏾?♀️

[purr-rat beauty]

32. He spelled Incarceration wrong
