It follows the all too familiar strategy of "retreat, hold, retreat, hold...." that Republicans have followed for the last century.
When they have the political upper hand, liberals historically push through programs that bloat the size of the federal bureaucracy; take away our freedoms piecemeal (always in the name of "giving" us "rights"), and increase our dependency on government.

When the Republicans have the political upper hand, they mainly do nothing but "hold the line" -- i.e. they defend the new, liberalized, status quo. Which means that, while no new massive liberal programs are passed, neither are most of the programs instituted under the previous liberal administration repealed.
There are exceptions to this scenario, but by and large, that's how the game has been played for the past hundred years.

Well, I have news for the Republican Power Elites -- (shhh, listen up) -- THE STATUS QUO IS NO LONGER WORTH DEFENDING!!!
(Link)
The old ploy of "retreat-hold" will no longer work, because there is no longer any free-enterprise republic, worth defending. The country has been incrementally forced so far to the left, that only a massive, powerful, surge to the right, will restore America to being the free republic that it was intended to be.
As highlighted by the political establishment's arch dismissal of Sarah Palin, and more recently, Christine O'Donnell; having the proper "political pedigree," is much more important than, "content of character," to the Power Elites -- left, and right.

"We the people" are more concerned with content of character, than charisma and polish, these days. We know where charisma and polish have brought us, and we're sick and tired of the s.o.s. (same old -- stuff).

Where's the pledge to put a stop to the double-standard that exists between "we the people" and our political rulers? Where's the pledge to pursue a version of the 28th Amendment?
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States."

Where's a pledge to pursue tort reform
Where's a pledge to pursue tort reform, and at least, somewhat, rein-in the ACLU-style lawyers, and judicial activists, who practice non-stop "lawfare" against America?
(Link)
Where's the pledge to pursue term limits? To meaningfully downsize the bloated federal government? To revamp, or dismantle, the federal tax system? To audit the Fed? To outlaw lobbying, and lobbyists?

Where's the call to end America's suicidal "hear no evil, see no evil" attitude towards Islam's jihad -- by both terrorists, and the "moderate" Muslims, who play off of the terrorists?

Where's the recognition that the UN and Agenda 21 are "clear and present dangers" to American sovereignty? Or that global corporations and banking cabals have been financially raping the United States?

Where's the courage to confront the fact that our government, judiciary, military, and educational system, are riddled with traitorous Far Left/NWO Political Elites?

Where indeed -- and this is only a partial list, mind you. There are a multitude of serious problems that need to be addressed.
As I said, the "Pledge To America" is better than a poke in the eye, but it doesn't leave me shouting "hallelujah," and I definitely won't be writing home about it.
Nice try Power Elites -- let us know when you're ready to get serious. "We the people" will be here, prepared to do what we must to save America.
Laus Deo.
