His ass is fixin' to expire.
Grover Norquist’s new found love of Islam is irrelevant.
This is about cutting spending to balance the budget versus increasing taxes.
Attacking Norquist on fiscal matters by bring up his Muslim wife is a non substantive point and useless.
He is a LOBBYIST of the worst kind. Will sell his country down the river for money.
His new found love for Islam is NOT a problem?
Since we KNOW that the Islamofascist would love to see this country brought to our knees financially. His new found love for Islam sure as h is a problem AND a national security problem.
Just as Al Alwaki. He attended Washington “outreach” Do we know who got him the invite. Rove or Norquist?
Every Repub that has signed this thing should disavow any solidarity with Norquist.
BTW love his Islamic beard/S
Except that taxpayers are not a "special interest group.". If anything, they are a general interest group.
I though closing loopholes and cutting rates by a corresponding amount was, in fact, within the parameters of the pledge.
A lobbyist for lower taxes and less government...could use some more of that.
Time you little people be brought to heel.
You’ll pay your taxes and smile while doing it.

Anyone making a list of those wanting OUT of their :no raising taxes” pledge? If so, I WANT a copy. I need to know whose (Tea Party) opponents to support and donate to in the primaries!
Muslim means fifth column.
Grover Norquist does not represent taxpayers, no one voted for him. Norquist represents Americans for Tax Reform, which definitely is a special interest group.
Norquist is able to command an audience. Check his wifes background. I have heard him stir up conservative audience but will not stay around for Q and A. Trust factor not high on my list.
We’ll agree to disagree. The tax pledge was not a pledge of allegiance to Grover Norquist or his organization, or any organization. It was an across-the-board proomise to never vote to raise taxes, period. The only “interest” involved is the general interest of taxpayers. The classification of taxpayers as a “special interest” is an old Democrat trick, and it’s pretty sickening.
Because LaTourette has never heretofore even so much as questioned his pledge. Therefore a reasonable person could believe that he, like all the other Congressmen that signed -- whenever they signed -- continue to honor that pledge.
Seems to me the proof of that is how loud LaTourette barked when poked by the MSM on the issue. If it wasn't of significant import to him (viz versus what he knows his constituents back in Ohio believe about honoring that pledge) he could have, in lieu of a reply, told The Hill to go stuff themselves. But he didn't, did he?
And yes, LaTourette is a douchebag.
