that it has no meaning and that no serious consequences will befall them given their vote on this "fiscal cliff" issue. There is strength in numbers and any Grover threat to them was just an 'idle threat' and as of their actions the last two nights - they successfully broken its spell on them.

If the Repugs were smart -they would put this 'pledge' behind them and free themselves of it and begin to do the business that they were elected for and sent to Washington. If they don't - they are further digging a hole of extinction of their party.

The American People are getting smarter on all the Repug sandbagging that has been going on. They are beginning to see how they have been shooting themselves in their foot by supporting the Repug party. This "Sandy" issue and hearing Peter King's reaction to the Repug's not taking it up - is just another nail in their coffin.

The thing I find most astounding about Grover Norquist is, he's not a senator, he's not a rep., he's not a governor or any type of politician. The republicans let someone who's not even a politician control their tax policy for decades, and it took the chance of going into another recession to finally end this crap, well for some of them... I never understand why these politicians sign it and let one man have sooo much power, it never comes up in debates, no candidates seem to mention it during campaigns so the pledge is not exactly a hot button issue for voters so I don't get their loyalty to the pledge. I can't wait until 2014, it will be an exciting year.
