10. Cheney/Rumsfeld with Atwater in training.
Nixon's empire building was rather successful, in the long run. Ford may have promoted them, but they were in the White House with Nixon. I maintain that the syndicate has its roots there.

As it turns out, his resignation was an empty gesture. So, I nominate him, rather than Ford.

2. In reality, Is it norquist?
Or cantor, boehner, mcconnell, ryan et al? It is they who Give norquist his power right now. It is they who have decided to put their loyalty with the party over the Health of America.
They are behaving like Anti-American traitors, imvho.

14. Lingering questions about Grover and his brother
For more than a decade of influence brokering, Grover Norquist redefined “Washington insider," to include arranging top level government access for known terror financiers. He was a point-man for the Republican power agenda with a hand in most serious scandals since 2000.

In 2004, Grover Norquist’s younger brother David spearheaded an effort to conceal massive corporate looting of the Iraqi national oil fund. (Norquist’s title at the time was Deputy Undersecretary for Budget and Appropriations at the Department of Defense.) When called to explain how DoD failed to stem the massive overcharging by Custer Battles and the Halliburton subsidiary KBR, Norquist called DoD’s accounting oversight “a success.” David Norquist has since been promoted to Chief Financial Officer of the Department of Homeland Security.

(Grover) Norquist isn’t directly tied to the “Golden Chain,” a document found in Bosnia in 1992 that has been introduced in American courts as a list of Osama Bin Laden’s top twenty financiers, but his friend Abramoff did lobby for someone on that list: Saleh Kamel. There is a noteworthy list, however, of Norquist associates' ties to terror-funding.

-snip

Sami Al-Arian: In June 2001, Al-Arian and members of the American Muslim Council were invited to the White House for a briefing by Karl Rove. That July, Al-Arian’s civil liberties group, National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom, gave Norquist an award for fighting to keep secret intelligence evidence out of terrorism prosecutions. Norquist introduced Al-Arian to George W. Bush during the same 2000 election campaign when Bush promoted Norquist’s and Al-Arian’s position on the use of secret intelligence. There is a photograph, in fact, of Al-Arian with Bush in March 2000. In 2003, Al-Arian copied Norquist on an e-mail to The Wall Street Journal regarding an op-ed suggesting ties to Islamic Jihad. Al-Arian was arrested in 2003 for racketeering and conspiracy to commit murder. He pleaded guilty to one count of supporting terrorism and was sentenced to a fifty four month prison term. Al-Arian was also the North American leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The FBI’s close surveillance was scheduled to end by presidential order on September 11th.
