Grover Norquist in 2012 CPAC speech..."all we need is someone who can hold a pen and sign"

Some of you may not remember but I do. I remember this on the news. Grover Norquist actually saying this at a CPAC conference. And thus, we got Donald Trump. He cannot read. He cannot listen. BUT he can sign his name on ANYTHING that is in front of him. That's ALL the Republicans wanted. And boy, they got it.

This is on Daily Kos, date May 20, 2012. There is a YouTube of this as well. Be proud republicans, be proud. You got what you wanted, or should I say what Grover Norquist wanted, the Mercers wanted, the Koch Bros wanted....what Putin wanted? LOL!

You sold your soul. And our country is diminished because of you all. Thank you.

Wants the rich to have all the power, while everyone else can live in their own waste.

This is the Norquist vision...Sucks.

Good old Grover... the originator of that great right wing meme: I want to shrink the government so small that I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." Or maybe just take a dump on it and throw it into the Potomac.

Funny, we haven't heard much from him of late. It's probably too much to hope for that he's embarrassed.
