Anyone who wants to dispute that when a grown adult signs a pledge dreamt up by someone who admits forming his monetary ideas at age 14, that that individual is not an idjit, is himself of questionable intellect.

Ah, but it's the perfect campaign tool, Rob. After all; Who really wants to pay more taxes?

See, that's the hook. Problem is; Who gets the cuts and who gets more and more stripped away? It's not the folks at the top who need SS and Medicare in their old age, is it? But, it sure will be them that get all of the tax cuts when all of that is finally whittled away, won't it?

On the subject of your favorite GOP puppet-master, here's an interesting article about how Frank Wolf (R-Va) is highly critical of Grover's pledge. BTW, he's one of only 6 Republicans in Congress who haven't signed the pledge. What a bunch of ball-less maroons.

Read that one, Wolf was always his own man.
