Sorry, those are the promises made, and those are the promises broken by the Democrat party when running for congress.

I repeat - the links you provided are opinions, not facts and there's a difference. I'm not saying that what you're saying is wrong because of that, but what I am saying is that if you want to bolster your case, providing links to puff pieces from the leader of the opposition isn't the way to do it.

This is not an opinion this is a fact, even if it is posted on the Republican page, that doesn't make it less real. Thats like saying if global warming is posted on a green web page it can't be true.

The Democratic party. Not Democrat.

And all I'm trying to say is that if what you're seeking is to create a convincing, sourced argument for your cause then the majority of people aren't going to trust something coming from the mouth of the leader of the opposition. It makes it harder to sell the points you're making, not easier, and invites conflict rather than true discussion and debate.

Yes, it gives them an easy out to avoid the facts. Still doesn't change the facts.
