Grover Norquist Holds GOP Accountable To His Pledge

This article describes the power of a GOP operative to hold GOP elected officials accountable to his simple fiscal policy.  Never increase taxes and make substantial cuts in non-defense discretionary spending (which is essentially healthcare and social security).  Norquist, and organizations with a similar  creed, such as The Club For Growth, threaten to run primary campaigns against GOP incumbents who do not adhere to the code.  They have been effective in arousing tea partiers against incumbents who dared to violate the code.  The incumbents have received the message.
