for the record, the platform in question does not call for a house member to block the NSA wiretaps, or for the UN securing our borders and taking over our government, etc

Actually they have an entire website devoted to it that is changed and updated fairly regularly. They take the time out to keep their party updated more than every 2 years..

The top one is "spending restraint"

ok, seriously what have they actually done the past 2 years? Who cares what they post on a website, thats what minority parties do...these guys control CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE, what have they DONE in two years of full control?

I'm still unclear on the list, are we updating it with people here agreeing they are likely to get Bush to repeal the Patriot Act, give the UN power over him, stop all NSA listening, and end his own tax cuts?

They haven't done anything in the past two years? Because I'm sure I've seen thousands of threads complaining about what they've been doing...

1) Bush won't sign
2) Bush is the commander in chief
3) That's not a program or even an idea

So again, what are they likely to do? (aka not "try")

just because bush will veto it doesn't mean they won't try it. So this is a based on two hypotheticals :
1. that the democrats are going to take over
2. what they propose, bush will sign

I can't really say not only what the democrats are going to maybe do, but then again what bush will maybe do. I can only predict what I think the democrat would try if they were in power.

You have no idea what Bush will do if presented with a proposal to end all his tax cuts...really?

Who cares what they try, they've already tried to do a lot of things, but they didn't get enough votes...its about what you do not about what you try
