Bonus Quote of the Day


"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."

-- Grover Norquist, quoted by David Frum, making the case that Mitt Romney would be an acceptable Republican nominee.

1. They just want a puppet for President

[Gidney N Cloyd]

4. Uh-oh. Now you're making Rowlf nervous.

[wtmusic]

3. From someone who's never been a leader of anything nt

[demosincebirth]

5. He and Limpballs, are they not the leaders of the GOP? What ever they say, don't they parrot?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. Not only that

but they sign "pledges" to them (Norquist, at least). They may as well have with Limbaugh.

[Angry Dragon]

6. ALEC will be happy to write all the bills

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. This just proves my earlier point

that whoever the Republicans nominate, whether it's Romney or somebody else, is ultimately irrelevant b/c they are likely going to do what ALEC, the Koch Brothers, Grover Norquist, teabaggers, et. al want. They don't want somebody with a brain who has ideas and a real "vision" for the country. They just need a warm body for the seat in the Oval Office who they control and manipulate into signing their junk. This is why we can't just shrug and say, "meh, Romney's not so bad" or "both parties are the same", and then simply refuse to vote in November. The aforementioned parties will have their way with a Republican POTUS, House and Senate and we need to make sure that this does NOT happen IMHO!
