Actually, yes she will. Sure, she signed that tiny man Grover Norquists's "pledge". And never mind that that act in itself is unpatriotic because signing it says Buerkle promises, in the name of politics, to do something that may not be in the best interests of this country and its citizens. She gave Norquist more power to influence her decisions than the US Constitution.
But the fact is that Buerkle broke her promise to Grover and to her supporters by voting for the Cooper-LaTourette bill in Congress last March. She along with several colleagues even received an award for their bravery in endorsing a bi-partisan budget balancing bill.
She didn't ride home on a parade horse about it, did she? When she actually made an attempt, however lame and unconsidered, to do the right thing, she kept it a secret from her Tea Party and ultra right winger voters.
Flip flopper? She knew Cooper-LaTourette wouldn't get far, and that the people back at home who mattered wouldn't notice.
