BTW, did you know that both McCain and Thompson refused to sign the no new tax pledge?

Yep. And my comment was that those two won't sign, and Rudy and Flip Romney will sign and not care that they're breaking their word later.

That's why I'm supporting Duncan Hunter.

Depending on the wording of a “no new tax pledge” it would be contrary to one’s sworn duty to defend the USA.

In the case of all out war, taxes would have to be raised.

If there is no provision for that in the document, it would be honest NOT to sign it, and either dishonest or inexperienced to sign it.
