Every committee member appointed by Spkr. Boehner and Minority Leader McConnell have signed the Norquist pledge not to raise taxes. Doing that not only goes against the majority of what Americans want, but severely limits any hope of reaching a compromise with the Democrats.

Boehner doesnt believe in compromise, he was asked that question on 60 minutes days before he was sworn in as speaker of the house.

"Will you compromise with the President". "No"

When are republicans going to understand that not everyone in this country has the same views as them? I am so sick and tired of Republicans standing in front of a camera and stating they are doing what the American people want them to do. Sure they are, but those American People they are talking about are less than half this country.

As long as we have politicians signing pledges to not raises taxes, then we'll never get out of this mess.
