All but a handful of republicans have been coerced into signing a pledge that stipulates that under no circumstance will they accept tax increases.

To rephrase: almost the entire GOP has been forced into adopting an extreme right concept in writing.

And that's just the tip of the iceburg. For instance, Gov. Christie found out the hard way that even cooperating with a Democrat during an emergency is simply. not. acceptable. to the GOP base.
