No one has suggested that the “pledge to America” represents anything particularly new or different from established GOP ideas. To the contrary, the policies that republicans will pursue when elected (if they know what’s good for them) are tried and true policies that have worked, to the benefit of all, every time they’ve been tried, without fail.
Now, these ideas might be considered “fresh” in that they are different than anything that’s been tried in at least the last decade or two, and are sharply different from what is going on right now, which is absolutely the novel and bold change with which we were threatened - er, that is, promised - if we elected Barack Obama.
In short, Republicans are not pledging to do something new and bold so you can get a better job, bigger house, or free health care. ALL that they are promising is that the government will STOP doing that which has caused your job to go away, your 401k to lose half it’s value, and the clock to start ticking on the lifetime of your access to health care. For almost everyone, that is all we ask for.
