Grover Norquist is the most powerful political influence.....

....of our time. Like it or hate it, it's true. He doesn't even need to run for office and he has more politicians in his pocket than anyone.

In the 112th Congress serving from 2011–2, all but six of the 242 Republican members plus two Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives, for a total of 238 – a majority of that body – as well as all but seven of the 47 Republican members plus one Democratic member of the U.S. Senate, for a total of 41, have signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge.

Mitt Romney will do as told. (Open in New Window)
