‘Who The Hell Is Grover Norquist, Anyway?’ ... HW asks

[MindMover]

Grover Norquist, the anti-tax activist who authored a no-new-taxes pledge popular among GOP politicians, has called Republicans who raised taxes “rat heads in a Coke bottle.” A former Republican president who raised taxes during his administration, however, is now challenging Republicans to set aside the Norquist pledge.

In an interview with Parade Magazine, George H. W. Bush, who broke his “no new taxes” election pledge, said he didn’t like the “rigidity” of pledges like Norquist’s. “Who the hell is Grover Norquist, anyway?” Bush added:

3. Treason

Grover Norquist should be prosecuted for treason.

That's what the Founding Fathers and early Presidents would want if they were here.

Why should an unelected man who is not elected by the people and who has no accountability to the public, be allowed to go around and force half the elected Representatives in Congress to sign his no-tax pledge?!

It's outrageous and I doubt it would be allowed in any other Western country.

He is interfering with the entire political system and the economy.

4. He'll end up like Andrew Breitbart.

He's wound tighter than a bull's ass during mating season.

No way can a man live very long with such tension 24/7.
