Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist has long held a tight grip on the marionette strings of the GOP. Wielding undue influence as the head of the Americans for Tax Reform, Norquist ensures that Republican lawmakers sign his anti-tax pledge and threatens them with electoral defeat should they even think of deviating from it. Norquist has marked a successful few years, killing the deficit super committee agreement, batting down a tax increase on millionaires, and, of course, ensuring the extension of the Bush tax cuts.
Pleased with his headway, Norquist is now mapping out how he can ensure further anti-tax victories by securing Republican majorities. In an interview with the National Journal, he mused that a GOP mandate would obviously enact an extension of the Bush tax cuts, work to maintain a repatriation holiday for corporate profits, and even pass House Budget Chairman Paul Ryans (R-WI) plan that jeopardizes Medicare. But when asked what Republicans should do if faced with a Democratic majority that wont keep the tax cuts, Norquist had a simple answer: impeach Obama.
NORQUIST: Obama can sit there and let all the tax cuts lapse, and then the Republicans will have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach. The last year, hes gone into this huddle where he does everything by executive order. Hes made no effort to work with Congress.

(5,022 posts)Grover Norquist has ties with members of the Muslim Brotherhood, a worldwide jihadist movement based in Cairo. Its the parent of Hamas and al-Qaida and the source of most of the jihadist ideology and related terror throughout the world today. After 9/11, FBI agents discovered the founding archives of its U.S. operations during a raid of a terrorist suspects home in Annandale, Va. The secret papers revealed that the Brotherhood, which was set up in America with millions in Saudi cash, has a plan to destroy America and other Western nations from within, and is using its agents and front groups in the U.S. to carry out that strategy.
