The GOP did not lose the election. The Norquist Party lost.

Oh -- they're identical.

Any hope for reason, compromise and problem-solving for all American citizens is strained, if not DOA, because the Republicans signed Norquist's pledge.

What is more important to the signers: re-election, which protects their entitlements (high salaries, excellent health insurance and generous pensions), or a healthy economy and strong government for all citizens?

Our problems are bigger than either party, and both parties must demonstrate their values and patriotism rather than bend to threats.
