Or rather, every promise they’ve had the time and opportunity to keep. But having been in power for just six months, they’re doing pretty well — as even lefty outfits like Politico are forced to admit.

Six months into the Republican majority, a closer look at the GOP’s “Pledge to America” and its election-season promises shows the new majority has lived up to the agenda: The GOP passed a bill to repeal health care reform; it extended the Bush-era tax rates; it has been posting bills three days ahead of votes, as promised; and it has banned earmarks. House Republicans have also cut federal spending — though not nearly as much as promised — and they’ve cut their own congressional budgets. They also voted to end further federal funding for abortion.

Republicans pushed for larger cuts to the federal budget, but Democrats and Barack Obama stood in the way. We only control one chamber of Congress — a third of the relevant government organs — and Democrats are dedicated to keeping the country on a fiscally disastrous path. But not bad for the little control we have.

The next thing Republicans have to do: Repeal the ban on incandescent light bulbs, which will kick-in next January. The alternatives to incandescents are toxic CFL bulbs or very expensive LED bulbs. The left likes that scenario for obvious reasons, but it’ll harm the household budgets of most Americans.
