Grover Norquist Growing Tax Pledge Irrelevance A Win For Responsible Government

Grover who, isn't that a Sesame Street character?
Is Grover Norquist losing his grip on the Republican Party? Watching him on the different television networks would lead one to that conclusion. If you have to explain why you are still powerful or relevant then you are neither powerful nor relevant.
Grover Norquist is the founder of Americans for Tax Reform that he claims was at the request of President Reagan. The organization coerces Republican candidates to sign the Taxpayer Protection Pledge in which they promise to oppose all tax increases.
It seems that many of the Republicans that signed the pledge are starting to realize that their “anti-tax increase” position is neither rational nor sustainable. The following statements from several prominent Republican politicians were reported in an AP story on Huffington Post.
has it been confirmed that their other Fearless Leader actually asked him to create his own position? and why when they all but kicked Reagan to the curb when they realiized he was a hero without their cause, he raised taxes 11 times and the ultimate treachery, he compromised they didn't know that before their all out praise of their tainted saint?
Sen. Bob Corker (TN) – says the only pledge he will keep is his oath of office.
he'll be the first one to make that claim haven't cared much about that pesky oath the last 4 years.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (AL) – “Oh, I signed it,” . – . “But we’ve got to deal with the crisis we face. We’ve got to deal with the political reality of the president’s victory.”
being honest or playing to the crowd? he forgot to email the other 99.99% of his party.
