Norquist’s anti tax pledge serves a huge purpose...it places the focus on cutting the size and scope of government...of necessity.
Without that, you’d get a total cave...not merely a partial one like we have now..to the crazed Dems tax, spend and elect, tax, spend and elect political philosophy handed down from FDR.
So it puts elected Repubs in a straight jacket, huh??
What a shame...NOT.
As for Gingrich, he has had some trouble having himself marked a true conservative, having done, said and written a few clunker things in his career. But THESE clowns call him a “conservative extremist”.
Do they pass around the weed or the pipe, where these two hang out??
They have to convince people that Newt is an extremist in order to keep Mitt from looking like a liberal that has been pandering and slobbering all over the mushy middle - while giving the base the finger.
Mitt is no mystery. He'll be whatever the K-Street to Wall Street crowd tell him to be.
