THE MORE INTELLIGENT, POLISHED LIMBAUGH: GROVER NORQUIST

Grover Norquist was telling fellow Republicans that Mitt Romney will do as he is told.  In a recent speech, commented on by David Frum he said:  "The requirement for president.Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared."


His arrogance is shocking:   "All we have to do is replace Obama. ...  We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. ... We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don't need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate."

To hear Norquist speak, you realize he does not see Obama as leading this country at all.  Indeed, he has all the Republicans attached to him bu oath and he and cohorts have had the country is a choke hold since Obama took office to whatever degree they could maintain.

His speech to CPAC, 2/1//12, can be heard here.

If Norquist and friends have their way for the next 20 years, there will not be an America as we used to know it.   Almost a year ago, I had written a blog as I realized just how dangerous Norquist is to our democracy.  Sadly, he and his followers are too entrenched to be moved easily from their sufficiently reaching power.  If only more voters cared to learn truths instead of the scam artist's lies.  We can only hope truth will win out over evil in the November elections.
