Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, who says he cares more about his country than a 20-year-old tax pledge, is now joined by Representative Peter King in renouncing such pledges.

“If I were in Congress in 1941, I would have signed a declaration of war against Japan,” said King on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I’m not going to attack Japan today.”

“We should not be taking iron-clad positions,” King said on fiscal cliff negotiations, adding he didn’t want to “pre-judge” any compromises that could be under discussion between Republican and Democratic leaders.
