Grover Norquist Says Conservatives Should Vote For A Candidate They Can Use As A Puppet

[Galraedia]

When Americans elect a President, they expect their new leader to have the ability to be independent, think for him or herself, and stand up for what the American people want. Conservatives believe the opposite. They want a leader who doesn’t think at all and agrees to do whatever they want him to do, including rubber stamping any and all legislation created by conservatives in Congress. At least that’s what Grover Norquist admitted at CPAC two weeks ago.

During his speech at CPAC, Norquist said that conservatives need a President who will let Congressional Republicans run the show and that all the President needs to do is sign each and every bill without a thought.

“All we have to do is replace Obama,” Norquist stated. “We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don’t need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don’t need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate.
Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become President of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.”

In other words, conservatives like Grover Norquist want a mindless drone that they can control to sit in the Oval Office. They want a puppet who will just sign anything they put in front of him. Let’s just list some of what would be passed if conservatives get their wish.

1. That's what they've been doing for some time.

That's why they wouldn't give McCain the candidacy until he'd shown he could be one.

[Firebrand Gary]

2. Reagan, HW and George were apparently not enough? No Thanks

Grover and the GOP cannot walk over Obama, this makes the right wing establishment angry like you wouldn't believe.

He isn't an elected official. But his minions are. Trying to get to him by Occupying
my local congressman Chris Gibson. NY 20th. Still working on how to do this.
We need to make at least one of them retract the pledge. We can give them a way out.

7. Try him for impersonation

8. a fine example of a person who hates democracy

and representation for all...

[SalviaBlue]

9. Just like it was important for us to know

Norquist was responsible for the "shrink government so small we can drown it in a bathtub" statement, we should all take note of this. This is what the republicans will do. Because Norquist told them to.

11. well little boots tried really hard to fulfill that goal

shoveling money out to his friends and starting a bogus war that helped destabilize the region, while cutting funding for our infrastructure; plus a bonus of increasing the deficit by about 89%. Yep, got to bring the plebes to their knees, so the really deserving plutocrats can run the country.

Any american plebe who believes in the bullshite norquist and his ilk spout, I think are masochists.

10. Control Freak n/t

12. NOW there is the truth. Raygun was a sick old man, W was ignorant, etc. It is never who they

elect when they win. The real rulers are behind the scenes.
