Grover Norquist, our favorite bathtub drowner-in-chief, held one of his famous Wednesday morning meetings with the faithful, many of whom are still disinfecting their wounds and trying to figure out ‘how come we lost?” Norquist seems to think that the 52% of the American People who voted to show the door to Bush/Cheney and Norquist’s philosophies are a bunch of ignorant booby-heads.
He also sees Bill Clinton as being smarter than Barak Obama – and that the country is not ‘ready’ for an Obama-led Administration. Norquist also seems to have forgotten that Bush, Cheney, their buddy Henry Paulsen et al. recently handed the American People a huge tax bill that Obama has no control over, so excoriating him already for anticipated raises in taxes is rather stupid.
It’s going to be extremely difficult to wring blood out of a stone for new programs when the current administration not only has sucked it dry NOW, it’s sucked a whole lot of the future out of it, too. Sorry, Grover – every time one of you guys raises the flag on “Obama tax increases”, out answer is “to pay for the mess that YOU guys left behind.”
“…About 150 individuals were in attendance, he[Norquist] said, in addition to GOP officials calling in from 40 states. And while Norquist acknowledged that Republicans were licking their wounds a bit, he already had charted the avenues for a resurrection, much of it premised on an anticipated Democratic overreach….the pent up demand to do stuff is going to come out like a machine gun," said Norquist. "The other issue we are going to be for is stopping Obama’s tax increases, massive spending program, his takeover of health care… He will create the agenda for the modern right by creating a list of programs that oddly didn’t end up in his advertisements."

Well, the Republicans and Grover have demonstrated very well that they are much better at obstructing than leading. They are moving back to very comfortable territory…
off with their heads i say ..
Someone needs to put this clown on a short leash.
Grover, it is time for you to STEP DOWN….this was a changing of the guard and you will never be part of it. Let a new generation step forward, maybe just maybe they can work with the new president and make America great again.
Old ideas and old men have had their day.
Funny FDR gave us Social Security and managed to win WW2 by deficit spending, by raising taxes and regulating the economy.
Grover had 8 years of Bush to prove FDR wrong and thats part of why Obama won.
What I think is hilarious about this is that this is really an illustration of that definition of insanity: repeating an action with the expectation that you will get a different result. Without these worshipers, Norquist is an empty suit – and yet, these guys got beaten up, big time, but they still are making excuses(see, “Obama bought the election,” Obama is not a US citizen” et al.)and going right to the same slimy pump that brought them to this disaster. Is it because the Conservative Movement is bankrupt? Is it because the Conservative Movement has no brains in the outfit? Your guess is as good as mine, but if THIS is their answer to getting their butts whipped this week…..
Then the GOP is insane.
It’s because these people and their followers are able to maintain a fact-free environment whenever they wish. It’s about faith and fundamentalism.
As a very fine woman said 2 years ago…
“Elections have consequences”
Mr. Norquist needs a hand pat and a gentle reminder, I’m thinking.
