folk that is seem to be backing away from grover norquist s tax pledge. given that the very idea of raising taxes could be damaging to any republican who might be facing a primary in the next year, is there really enough support for shunning norquist at this point? you remember, even when george bush was president, democrats said they wouldn t cut taxes at all. bush ended up winning that pr battle and the conversation wasn t about whether they would cut taxes and how much they would cut taxes and conversely here what we have is the president moving forward with his agenda which was to raise taxes and now a republicans who had their heels firmly dug in are now saying instead of not raising taxes let s just talk about how much we re going to raise taxes, so it appears for the most part now conservatives are looking at changing some of the things they talked about and pledged when they were running for office and look this is a
