The Grover Norquist bit should be hit hard.

Norquist demands that Republican kowtow to his demands regarding taxes or he will make them suffer.

The last I knew he has never been elected. And it appears that the idiot is wanting the powers of the President without being elected President. If he wants the decision of whether tax legislation is passed or not he should run for the office.

I saw Norquist being interviewed on TV a few weeks age and he mentioned something about getting interested in repug politics as a 12-year-old and because repugs were always talking about not raising taxes, he thought up this idea of a no-tax pledge. And he's still pushing it. Can you imagine, no, we don't even have to imagine because it's a reality now, this grown ass man is still sticking with this inflexible something he thought up when he was 12 and still thinks it's a great idea. And what's worst, he's got all these other grown ass repugs signing this pledge. Good God! I never knew until I saw that that the repugs no-tax pledge came from the mind of a 12-year-old. Musta been a mature 12 though, right?

Romney is an empty suit, just like Bush was. Rove ran the country with Dick Cheney.

Grover is probably secretly meeting with ryan now planning his run in 16.
