You know you’ve got it bad when your own party joins the otherwise to kick you out. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, McCarthy.

Integrity is one of the major values a leader should possess. Don't promise it if you won't do it. You can't just say anything to get you past the moment which from the look of things happens to be Mr McCarthy's mode of operation. Because when the time comes, people will remember what you said you will do that you didn't do. As a leader, your word is your honour.
