"With a handful of exceptions, every Republican member of Congress has signed a pledge against increasing taxes. Would allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire as scheduled in 2012 violate this vow?

We posed this question to Grover Norquist, its author and enforcer, and his answer was both surprising and encouraging: No."

Out From Under "The Pledge"​

It appears Common Sense is rearing it's nasty, Evil head.....once, again.

Sadly, that was just a brain fart from Norquist.

"
UPDATE: Americans for Tax Reform has released a strongly worded statement declaring, in no uncertain terms that "ATR opposes all tax increases on the American people."

Any failure to extend or make permanent the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, in whole or in part, would clearly increase taxes on the American people. In addition, the failure to extend the AMT patch would increase taxes. The outlines of the plans are deliberately hazy, but it appears that both Obama's Simpson-Bowles commission proposal and the Gang-of-Six proposal dramatically increase taxes on the American people.
It is a violation of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge to trade temporary tax reductions for permanent tax hikes."
