Grover Norquist needs to be put up against a wall.

And yet he is running on a 'pork barrel' platform like Johnny Mac did.

I respected Jeff Flake until he grabbed onto the Tea Party platform and ran with it. I've no respect for him and he's lost what would have been an earned vote from me.

Attention Republicans, you are now officially in "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" territory, and even that has light years more credibility than you.

Bag of Hammers: wildcardjack: Grover Norquist doubled down on douche when he failed to include a bit in the pledge about not massively overspending the budget.

funny that huh? It's the first farking thing out of his mouth when you call him on the stupidity of his pledge but somehow that didn't quite make it into the pledge.

Add to that the calisthenics the Norquisitors* employ to make every Democratic plan a "tax increase" even when it is deficit-neutral, and every Republican plan passes the Norq-test even when it raises taxes (but only on poor people, so who cares?).

* Norquistadors?

The only bad thing the AZ GOP can say about his opponent, Carmona (AKA the *other* most interesting man in the world), is that he's "hand-picked by Obama". Well, yes. That's one of the reasons I'm voting for him.

Diogenes: He's telling the truth. He's signed it already. It wouldn't make much sense for him to sign it again, now, would it?

He was asked if he did sign it and said 'no'.

I think the only problem here is that nobody told this dweeb the right was supposed to wait and see if their little experiment with Mittens Romney actually works. We aren't going to know if lying through your teeth at every turn, even if it contradicts things you said earlier in the same interview, works until after the ballots are totaled in November.

He's jumping the gun on the new conservative strategy of "lie, lie like hell". It hasn't been fully battle-tested yet.
