These asses with their pledge to Norquist and no taxes, what about their pledge to uphold the
constitution?

Isn't it unconstitutional to make a pledge that you will follow your leader rather than follow what is best for the citizens of your country?

4. It's not treason to take an oath, unless it is to an enemy. This thread is noxious.
The first amendment allows you to take any oath you want.

5. Considering that Norquist's stated objective is to basically
destroy the govt, I'd say he IS the enemy, and therefore, the term Treason is quite appropriate in this instance.

6. In the last few hours this post has gotten several un'recs. I guess the pledge makers
