I think Paul Martin doesn't mean what he says. He said he would clear this sort of thing up and he didn't do it.
I've been looking at some video clips on YouTube of President Obama - then candidate Obama - going through Iowa making promises. The gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I've seen, well, since the Kardashian wedding and the promise of 'til death do we part.
Some promises aren’t worth keeping.
Yesterday's promise, like tomorrow's never comes.
It's scary how easy promises were broken.
We see young men who owe us a new world, so readily and lavishly they promise, but they never acquit the debt; they die young anddodge the account: or if they live, they lose themselves in the crowd.
I can't compete with making promises you can't keep.
Promises and pie-crust are made to be broken.
Bad promises are better broken than kept.
It was funny that rank-and-file evangelicals were ahead of all the leadership. They saw for decades conservative Republicans had made promises to them on issues that were important to Christians and conservatives when they were running for office. But when they won, they didn't keep those promises.
