Is it any wonder why there is so much confusion in the Republican party these days when a pledge to not raise taxes becomes some kind of political liability - members that don't sign this pledge need to be removed from office.
Norquist Names Tax Pledge Delinquents (Newsmax)
Following the midterm elections, 15 Republican members of Congress have not yet signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge to oppose all tax hikes.
The pledge was formulated by Americans for Tax Reform and its president, Grover Norquist, and seeks to have politicians put in writing what they often promise verbally: no new taxes.
A mass e-mail from Norquist reveals the GOP Senators and Congressman who have not signed the Pledge.
Senate:
Richard Lugar (Ind.)
Charles Grassley (Iowa)
Olympia Snowe (Maine)
Susan Collins (Maine)
