Who Wrecked the Holy Homeland™?

I don't think you'd guess the name, Mr. Bones, If I gave you a hundred tries:

Historically, Americans generally held campaign promises sacred. We understood that republican democracy makes us rely on pledges of future action as the metric for choosing representatives; we knew that politicians reneging on pledges without adequate reason were desecrating that democracy; and we therefore often punished promise-breakers accordingly. I'm not idealizing halcyon days that never were -- just ask George H.W. Bush, who lost re-election in 1992 after trampling his "no new taxes" guarantee. Indeed, breaking campaign pledges was one of the surest ways for politicians to hurt themselves -- until 2006. That year's highest-profile campaign was Connecticut's U.S. Senate race between incumbent JOSEPH LIEBERMAN and challenger Ned Lamont -- a race signaling a tectonic shift. Lieberman had broken two key promises: 1) He was violating an explicit term-limits pledge and 2) He vowed to "help end the war in Iraq" while working to continue it. And yet, he was re-elected without ever explaining his reversals.

Happy days.
