Should have asked them to sign a spending cut pledge, as well. They’ll never do it without passing a BBA. I don’t see that ever happening without serious upheaval first.

So give me a list of people who want to raise taxes.
By the way: I have Grover Norquist ripped on FR because he is married to a Muslim woman.

I dont care to be associated with it. Its too constraining, Fortenberry told an August town hall in his district, according to the Lincoln Journal Star. Yeah, a fiscally constrained government is such a bad thing, right Congressman?

Norquist should be made to sign a pledge against car bombs.

Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) signed the pledge in 1998, when he first ran for Congress, and said he didnt even know he was still on the list until earlier this year. I thought it was for the next Congress, Simpson said. If it sticks with you forever, why do they ask you to re-sign it every two years?To remind you that the voters who put you in office are watching.

telling The Hill they no longer feel bound to uphold a document that they signed, in some cases, more than a decade ago. Did the signers of the Declaration of Independence feel the same way 10 years later?

No doubt. We need to primary every one of these wavering spineless pieces of crap. I can’t believe they think they can get away with thumbing their noses at us when we put them in power. We need some serious house-cleaning this upcoming election.

LaTourette said he had also assumed he had not signed it and even enlisted Boehners office to check with Norquists group, which confirmed that he did endorse the pledge in 1994. ..to which LaTourette said, "Damn.. why do they have to keep RECORDS??"

Remember,the deal that gave us the super-committee—a deal that none of our South Carolina legislators voted for,I'm proud to say—pretty much set in stone that there will be tax increases or our military will be GUTTED by half with arbitrary cuts!!!
We have a lot of military here in SC (the main reason McCain won our primary in 2008),and our economy would come close to collapse if these cuts are made. But again our GOP representatives voted against the measure so they are protected.
Many RINOs voted FOR it and if they can't raise taxes they will be blamed for the economic disasters in their own states when the draconian cuts to our military are automatically put into effect.

A growing number of GOP lawmakers have disavowed Norquists pledge against supporting tax increases Which means... look for them to acquiesce to calls for, as Harry Reid termed it, "a teeny, tiny increase in contributions from millionaires and billionaires."

Target all signers who break their pledge in the primary.
To: markomalley
This headline is misleading. One would get the impression that a large number of them want out, when in fact it’s a small handfull of the usual RINO suspects that have been wanting out for years. Nothing new here.
To: markomalley
I havent signed it since 1994, Rep. Steven LaTourette (R-Ohio) saidRep. Robert Andrews (D-N.J.)...told The Hill he signed the document a single time, in 1992
Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) signed the pledge in 1998
Republican Reps. Howard Coble (N.C.), Pete King (N.Y.) and Lee Terry (Neb.) all indicated that they signed the pledge more than a decade ago
Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) signed the pledge prior to being elected to Congress in 2004
Anyone notice the trend? Once they have been in the machine for a while, they don't give a rip about you, or any silly promises they made to get in your good graces.

I for one would never have signed Norquist’s pledge (and probably would lose for that and other reasons). I’d gladly trade a $1 tax increase for a trillion dollars in spending cuts, but that is technically against the pledge. Very silly.
To: markomalley
I’m not going to try to defend congresscritters; they have staff for that. But keep in mind that this pledge has been used to try and keep Congress from voting to close loopholes and eliminate some of the sweetheart tax breaks that corporations have gotten passed to give themselves advantages over their competitors. Pledges like this put Congressmen at the mercy of people like Grover Norquist, which most FReepers should know by now is not a good thing.
