Every Democrat Taxpayer Protection Pledge Signer Has Broken His Pledge Now
Americans for Tax Reform ^ | Monday, December 21, 2009 | Adam Radman

Posted on 12/26/2009 11:52:05 PM PST by U of IL Conservative

Last night’s cloture vote on the Obama-Reid Big Government Healthcare Bill brought an end to any discussion of fiscal conservative or “moderate” Democrats. Two so-called moderate Democrats Ben Nelson and Arlen Specter betrayed taxpayers by violating their Taxpayer Protection Pledges and voting along with 58 other Democrats in support of the healthcare bill. (For a comprehensive list of all the tax hikes in this bill, click here.)

They were the only remaining Democrat Pledge Signers not to have violated their Pledges on at least one occasion. House Democrats including Brad Ellsworth, Ben Chandler, Rob Andrews, and Gene Taylor have all violated their Pledges on multiple occasions.

This appears to be a trend among Congressional Democrats.

We were just discussing this matter, insofar as the tax increases, in the health care bill.

We've also discussed this, insofar as the consequences that the Democrats can (and will, if we keep on working!) face, next year, due to their role in this.

For now, however:

Despite what happened last week, we can still kill this bill.

Please help get this info out... Thanks!!

So let’s see... Democrats breaking a “pledge” to “not raise taxes” on Americans...

Does the author expect something different?

When being a lying sack of crap is your highest aspiration...the results should be predictable.

Liberals will slit their throat before admitting a mistake. They are mentally disabled and just stupid enough to stay there. Watch them fall

I loved the one comment someone made about the tax on tanning salons - (paraphrase) "who uses tanning salons? only white folks."

An Obama Vacation bill for everyone is badly needed to recharge the American people’s batteries. Representatives should consider paying for everyone to go to Hawaii for 10 days. Everyone is entitled to a vacation!
