"The most powerful figure in today's Republican Party is not John Boehner or Mitch McConnell. It is not Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan. It is not even Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin."
*"It is, of course, Grover Norquist, the man with The Pledge.
Norquist, who has never held elected office, is the founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform, a group whose pledge not to raise taxes under any circumstances has now been signed by hundreds of Republican candidates and officials at both state and national levels."

'Grover Norquist's anti-tax pledge undermines democracy';

3. Susan Del Percio is an idiot.
She said that the American people would not care what program is chosen. To paraphrase she said "throw all the programs in a bag and just pick one".

What an idiot! She has no idea what the hell is going on and how strongly people feel about Social Security and Medicare in this country.

How many people aged 60+ did she talk to you? Where's her data?

Del Percio just showed herself as just another insensitive media big-mouth know nothing.


:grr:

4. Grover's just one of the gangsters like Rove
-students of Atwater who want to use the government like their own ATM and be 'BIG men' with their consorts of like-minded Republicans (the only ones psycho or selfish enough). Truth is they're little sociopath closeted men.
