Really. Just who the fuck is Grover Norquist...

[MrScorpio]

And why are so many people kissing his ass?

I've seen this gnome all over the place and I still don't know why he has so much power.

Sure, I'm no Republican (Who are the ONLY people who care about him), but how did he get into this kingmaker position?

Has he ever caused so GOPer to lose an election for crossing him?

What does he have on the GOPers, blackmail photos?

3. He's Super Grover's evil monster twin.

4. Why doesn't Norquist just admit what he truly wants

- no taxes for the rich and indentured servitude for the rest. If taxes were half what they are now, he'd want them lowered. If he now gets now a tax freeze, it's just round 1 for this turd. He'll come back for more.

5. he's a lobbyist who is paid to end taxes in america

The Rude One has an elegant and simple solution to our "Norquist Problem," which I heartily endorse:

9. I listened to him the other day and wondered how a toad like that was

commanding so many minds.

[nomb]

8. NPR nailed it - He has a simple binary litmus test that can not be wriggled out of.

He's given them the new abortion. And your either with him, or against.

Someone should post that link if its still around.

Chilling interview in its dissembling of a narrow and pointless man with a single drum.

10. He is a doughy little pantload who sounds like a member of the Lollipop Guild.

[RagAss]

11. He runs this country. He's the "Decider" !.....

And as long as we have Cowards representing us....HE WILL ALWAYS WIN !!!!

[Still Waters]

18. He's the Obama Administration's go to guy for deficit matters

13. His plan to drown the federal govt. in the bathtub has come to fruition

[Blue Owl]

14. Some soulless fuckbag who wants to drown democracy in a bathtub

Go to hell and take your little scheme with you, Grover.

[MADem]

15. A prissy little martinet who probably knows where a lot of bodies are buried.

Who knows, maybe he has pics of GOP reps screwing a donkey!

He's been consolidating power with his "Americans for Tax Reform" outfit since the Reagan administration.

He's quite rich, which helps....

17. Norquist trivia: He was instrumental in gaining a repuke majority among Muslim voters.

Seriesly. The social conservatism was the prime selling point. Things were working out quite nicely for him in key swing states like Michigan and NJ that have large Muslim populations, right up until Nineleven(TM) and the shameful Islamophobic backlash that followed, led, of course, by repukes. Now many American Muslims say they will never vote repuke again.
