What about the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all ? Is that ruthless and self-important? What about that, Miss Cupp? Don't shuffle papers and consult your lawyer, Miss Cupp. The American People are waiting for your answer, Miss Cupp.

I trust S.E. more than Norquist, if that says anything.

If Republicans agree to raise taxes, it will be reluctantly for sure. But it will also be because grown-ups have decided that the ends must justify the means. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but then again, these are troubled times.

What rubbish writing by SE Cupp. Earth to SE, we don't have a revenue problem, WE HAVE A SPENDING PROBLEM!!!

She’s got more conservative credentials than most (if not all) of the senior Republican senators, at least two of the last five Republican presidents, and 50+% of the pundits on Fox.

He did an excellent job after 9/11 and in keeping America safe. Outside of that he was an unmitigated disaster.

He did it with a police state. Destroying freedom to protect it?

Anyone know of any place where Bush actually forwarded the goals of conservatism? Nay place at all? No?

The only reason for pledges is that the GOP cannot be trusted. I would love to live without pledges. Let your word be your word.

Unfortunately, the GOP has not been very trustworthy. They have been less trustworthy over the last 14 years and getting worse every election since. The only saving grace in this time has been the Tea Party. Not even George W. Bush’s war stance was very beneficial for conservatism. First he failed to get Osama Bin Laden because even after the attack he went in light. Then he allowed them to bog him down in Pakistan, entered Iraq as if the waring sides there were going to welcome us, getting stuck in another quagmire. then started the hearts and minds mumbo jumbo. The rest of Bush’s time was equally damaging. The temporary tax cuts that are now being used against conservatives. The housing boom and bust. TARP. No Child Left Behind. The comprehensive immigration reform…

Enough with criticizing the tax pledge, if there’s one thing all Republicans should agree on it’s that they’re the party against government stealing people’s money, if they’re not against that then there’s no point in voting for Republicans.
