A growing number of GOP lawmakers have disavowed the pledge against supporting tax increases in recent days, saying they no longer feel bound to uphold a document that they signed, in some cases, more than a decade ago. Source
Do you believe the Republicans will remove their names from the list and begin to legislate the will of the people?
Well it serves no practical purpose. They can't be sued for raising taxes. I guess they are embarrased that they ever signed the document to begin with and now have buyers remorse. I don't really blame them.
Its pointless in any event, the Dems simply refuse to do anything. When presented with tax increases by the Republicans they say no and run out of the room. They clearly don't want any compromise.
You can sell that all you want but Americans now see the truth and they feel the teapublicans hate the middle and love the top period!

This certainly goes to prove that they think there's a time limit on obligations.
This is a fundamental split in the Republican Party power structure. The Republicans that want to stay in Congress realize the voters have caught on to their "trickle down" economic nonsense and want to increase taxes on the very wealthy.

Or more likely government has DOUBLED in size since they've signed the pledge and they dont agree with trillion dollar deficit yearly spending.
