Ten Political Promises That Will Never be Kept

This is a list of political promises that will never be kept. Find out the real meaning behind the promises.

  1. I will not raise your taxes. (I will raise service fees. I will increase license fees. I'll increase penalties and fines.).
  2. I will balance the budget. (I'm not saying which budget. Certainly you don't expect me to balance the federal budget. Are you crazy? It can't be done!)
  3. I will bring our troops home. (We'll give them two week leave and then send them off to Iraq and Afghanistan again.).
  4. I will protect social security. (I'm going to push for private investments. Just think of how well you would do in the stock market today. On second thought, cancel that suggestion.).
  5. I will stop Global Warming. (I'll just sign a document that says Global Warming no longer exists. Mother Nature would not dare to take on the President of the United States.).
  6. I will protect our borders from illegal aliens. (We'll offer each illegal alien a free gift certificate to McDonalds if they go back home.).
  7. I will provide health insurance for each citizen in our country. (Your premiums will be in the thousands, but who really needs to know the details.).
  8. I will end the recession. (I'll bring on the depression instead. Half our budget will go to faith based charities.).
  9. I will see that my administration follows the highest ethical standards. (We'll just get more sophisticated in our fraudulent behavior.).
  10. I will make sure that our country is ready for another major Hurricane. (We have loads of sandbags and duct tape in our warehouse. Unfortunately, our National Guard is a little pre-occupied in Iraq at the moment.)
