GROVER NORQUIST: George H.W. Bush ‘LIED' to the American People

[Segami]

Throw PAPA under the bus....

The Bush Boys are going to be pretty pissed at Tax god Grover Norquist.



Americans for Tax Reform president Grover Norquist dismissed recent criticism of his tax pledge from former President George H.W. Bush, saying the 41st president had “lied” to the American people by raising taxes while in office.

“When George Herbert Walker Bush ran for president, he promised the American people he wouldn’t raise their taxes,” Norquist said this morning on “This Week.” “He lied to them. He broke his commitment to them and they threw him out of office four years later.”

Bush famously said “Read my lips: no new taxes” during his 1988 campaign, before going on to raise taxes during his only term as president.


Norquist, the man famous for convincing a huge swath of congressional Republicans to pledge to not raise taxes, was responding to a jab from the former President Bush last month in an interview with PARADE magazine. “The rigidity of those pledges is something I don’t like,” Bush said in the interview. “The circumstances change and you can’t be wedded to some formula by Grover Norquist. It’s – who the hell is Grover Norquist, anyway?” Norquist also responded to comments made by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush opposing the Norquist pledge, saying in June at a congressional hearing, “I don’t believe you outsource your principles and convictions to people.”

1. Grover's so effing dumb he doesn't understand Poppy could snuff him with one phone call.

Or maybe just a nod like Michael Corleone when Fredo's time came.

4. Hey Grover, did you forget how peppered the shrub 'W' got when he found out that Saddam

put a contract out on his Pappy? The crime syndicate Bush Boys looooove their Pappy.

"...And, in discussing the threat posed by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, Bush said: "After all, this is the guy who tried to kill my dad...."

Saddam found out all too well. Speaking of Micheal Corleone & Freddo......

Video warning graphic but great background song.

2. there's a difference between running the country and running your mouth

which a guy that has never held an elected office like Norquist can't understand.

3. Grover knows that he was on the grassy knoll.

5. Of course he did, Grover. He's a Republican.

Americans already understand very well about Republicans and their lies.
