Grover Norquist wants nothing less than to destroy the US government, if needed, to abolish Medicare, SS and Medicaid. He is as said before a true nut job that holds considerable sway in the Republican Party.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Someday this quote will be an oxymoron!!:biggrin1::wink::eek:

NO -- I meant "this quote!"

BTWay -- Don't you think it's rather ironic that for a Party that keeps quoting how they are following the "will" of the American people --- they totally ignore any polls that show Americans WANT the lower taxes for the wealthy to go away.

Mr. Norquist gets 235 House members to sign this pledge BEFORE they take office -- which simply means: If 95% of Americans say "Raise the taxes on the wealthy" -- they pledge allegiance to Grover Norquist. Don't ever say money doesn't talk in our American political system!

Of course that's what's so 'admirable' about them. They will go right over the cliff for their beliefs while the democrats break like a twig. The sad thing is the entire country is left to go over the cliff with the loons.

grover Norquist is the GOP equivalent of Chairman Mao during the Chinese Cultural revolution of the1960's and 70's. Alll his words are worshipped by the GOP as being Godlike: punish and hate the poor , the unions, prevailing wage laws, OSHA and anything that improves the lives of working Americans.
He is a little punk ass twit who has never worked a day in his life. He is the perfect Tea party symbol of selfishness and greed.

Is it time for a refresher course since a certain political party has been complaining about the debt while pledging to Grover to never raise taxes. Do people understand the link between tax revenues and debt? It seems so simple. In fact it is really simple. But a few simpletons don't get it.

I had to revive this thread when I saw that former President George H. W. Bush ("Bush 41") made almost the same exclamation as forms the title of this thread, though with a more genteel expletive:

George H.W. Bush Challenges GOP On No-Tax Pledge: 'Who The Hell Is Grover Norquist, Anyway?' | ThinkProgress


Always and Forever, one of my favorite contributors lol.
Besides that amazing ass and incredible cock, you bring so much to this forum :biggrin1:

PEOPLE ? Yes , "they" do... Partisan Republicans ? HELL NO !!!

As President William Jefferson Clinton (born to be POTUS or what? ) so brilliantly said, "IT'S ARITHMETIC" and their math simply doesn't add up. Never Will !

Hmm. Zaid Jilani at Boldprogressives.org says of Senator Chambliss, "The senator is not breaking from Norquist because he wants to raise taxes on the wealthy or big corporations. Rather, he’s doing it because it will make it easier to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits."

In the long run, the Republicans, WILL, rebuff the mandate of the people. Re-read their statements, They're quite alright adopting the Romney position to work the deficit. And we know how dangerous that would have been. I see the Right Wing trying to do what they did before the election. I hope Obama sticks to his guns, and decides not to broker a deal, and just let everything lapse. The Dems have the strong case. The Right, not so much, if at all. The Dems should just sit tight. They don't need to broker a deal, it's the Right that is in a panic mode. Let them panic.

The further decline of Grover Norquist: "As of this writing, more than a dozen House Republicans — including Majority Leader Eric Cantor — and 10 GOP senators have distanced themselves from the pledge to one degree or another."

Thirty-Six Congressional Republicans (And Counting) Have Distanced Themselves From Norquist's Pledge | ThinkProgress

By the way, here is the text (or something pretty close to it) of the post of mine from a few days ago that was deleted because of its use of an anagram of Norquist's name:

Members of the GOP have been giving Norquist and his pledge the big heave-ho that they deserve.

US Representatives Steve LaTourette (R-OH) and Scott Rigell (R-VA), both signers of Norquist's pledge, have publicly repudiated it. Here they are on CNN on November 16:

Rigell: The Second District sent a businessman to Washington, and I go where the numbers lead me, and a careful analysis of our budget and trying to reconcile that with the Americans for Tax Reform pledge led me to the clear decision that the pledge itself is an impediment to meaningful tax reform. . . .

LaTourette: You know, I signed the Norquist pledge back in October 1994, 18 years ago, and it's a different world.
Here is Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) in an interview by telephone with a television news station on November 22:

I care more about this country than I do about a twenty-year-old pledge, and I care about the country that we leave our children and grandchildren. If we do it his [Norquist's] way then we’ll continue in debt and I just have a disagreement with him about that.

[The interviewer asks if he is concerned about Norquist using Chambliss's abandonment of his pledge against him if he runs for reelection to his senate seat.]

Well, you know, in all likelihood, yes. But I don't worry about that, because I care too much about my country. I care a lot more about it than I do about Grover Norquist. . . . Norquist has no plan to pay this debt down. His plan says you continue to add to the debt, and I just have a fundamental disagreement about that and I'm willing to do the right thing and let the political consequences take care of themselves.
And here is Rep. Peter King (R-NY) on Meet the Press on November 25:

First of all, I agree entirely with Saxby Chambliss. A pledge you signed 20 years ago, 18 years ago, is for that Congress. For instance, if I were in Congress in 1941, I would have signed a declaration of war against Japan. I’m not going to attack Japan today. The world has changed. And the economic situation is different. Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill realized that in the 1980s. I think everything should be on the table. I myself am opposed to tax increases. The fact is that speaker and the majority in leader and the president are going to be in a room, trying to find the best package. I’m not going to prejudge it. And I’m just saying we should not be taking ironclad positions.
Also that day, on This Week, Lindsey Graham, though holding the line on not raising tax rates, still rejected Norquist's pledge on other points:

When you're $16 trillion in debt, the only pledge we should be making to each other is to avoid becoming Greece, and Republicans should put revenue on the table. We're this far in debt. We don't generate enough revenue. Capping deductions will help generate revenue. Raising tax rates will hurt job creation. So I agree with Grover, we shouldn't raise rates, but I think Grover is wrong when it comes to we can't cap deductions and buy down debt. What do you do with the money? I want to buy down debt and cut rates to create jobs, but I will violate the pledge, long story short, for the good of the country, only if Democrats will do entitlement reform.
