If you ever wonder
why the Pubs do NOTHING to confront the many problems facing our country, consider the article in USA TODAY (a NON-partisan publication), that explains how Grover Norquist has nearly ALL the Pubs, firmly gripped by their testicles.
Any doubt about the power of the pledge vanished four years ago in a Fox News debate, when eight candidates for the Republican presidential nomination were asked whether they’d reject a budget deal with $10 in spending cuts for every $1 in new taxes — a fantastically good deal for conservatives.

The present clown car crew is nearly the same, with only Bush, Pataki and Trump not taking the pledge. AND, they are now being asked to sign another pledge, created by the Koch Bros, among others, to sign a pledge that they would NEVER fund any bill dealing with climate change, and most of them are on board.
