Saxby Chambliss edges away from Norquist anti-tax pledge
Chambliss signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, penned by conservative activist Grover Norquist.
“I care more about my country than I do about a 20-year-old pledge,” Chambliss says. “If we do it his way then we’ll continue in debt, and I just have a disagreement with him about that.”

Damn all the squishy Rs.
They are the bane of the land.
The Ds are charlatanic thugs.
R/Ds ruin the land, for different reasons. May all them and theirs suffer damnation, eternally.

No one cheers a tyrant more than those he enslaves.

Translation: I don’t actually give a rat’s fanny about fighting Democrat tax increases, so when the going even LOOKS like it’ll start getting hard I’ll cut and run.
Well at least you’re honest about being a wishy-washy chickensh!t.

Is there a punctuation police around, I was wondering if I was supposed to use two periods after that sentence…

Data point #89,746 in refutation of the absurd so-con article of faith considered common sense that only social conservatives are authentically conservative in the fiscal sense.
Mwahaha. Some crow with your turkey?

Putting country ahead of blind ideology? Are we sure he’s a Republican?!!

Chambliss is an idiot. He thinks that boosting taxes will make the left cut spending even more? LOL. Now, pull my finger.
These GOP tards are pathetic. They are dems, at heart.
SavingRestoring America from the American Socialist Superstate that the GOP has allowed us to morph into over Barky’s insane third-world reign is not to be. There is nothing but cowardice and dem-envy in the GOP leadership.And people wonder why turnout was so awful this election for another milquetoast, faux-conservative … As many voters as McShame, the worst, most despicable GOP Presidential candidate, ever – the most despised person in the GOP who refused to take himself out of the primary when his detested shamnesty was roundly beaten back by the base.
Sheesh. Time for a new nation. It’s been time since 2008 (for anyone with a brain) but even the dullards have to start realizing it, now.

Sorry, Romney DID get more votes than McCain: http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/watercooler/2012/nov/20/picket-romney-passes-mccain-popular-vote-obama-55-/
As for a new nation, f*** that. Fight for ours.
