In reply to the discussion: Norquist: Jeb Bush Insulted Mitt Romney By Abandoning Anti-Tax Pledge [View all]jmowreader
(50,447 posts)30. I've got a chart on my computer that I could show you
I did a GOP wiring diagram once. There is a triumvirate of Norquist, Jack Abramoff and Ralph Reed who are connected somehow to every top-shelf Republican in America. They met through the College Republican National Committee and have only gotten worse as they've gone along.
My favorite Abramoff wickedness: Once upon a time an Indian casino in (I think; I'd have to look it up) Louisiana was freshly built, and the local churches were really pissed about it. Abramoff charged the churches $25,000 to get it shut down, and succeeded. Then he went to the casino, told them he was really sorry their casino had been shut down, but for $25,000 he could get it reopened. Being an asshole isn't a chargeable offense, but it should be.
