The promise made by the Republican leadership isn't an example of political finger-pointing, but perhaps my statement was.
Regardless of party, it is the responsibility of the majority to exercise moral leadership, and they can't do that if they are consistently breaking promises. President Clinton abrogated that when he lied under oath, and the Republicans are doing it now when they say they will keep to a higher standard and fail to live up to their promises.
