"William Wilberforce, the British parliamentarian and abolitionist, famously told his colleagues, “Having heard all of this, you may choose to look the other way, but you can never say again that you did not know.”"

Older article, doesn't come up on search...WORTH the read!

I don't know much about Rep. Wolf, but he's right about this. It's worth the read, or hit the video.

Grover Norquist is the proposed Gang of 8 amnesty spokesman and arm twister. He is Marco Rubio's adviser and close associate of Cesar Conda, Rubio's Chief of Staff.

Norq is a muslim infiltrator who has the RINOs in love with him as long as he repeats no taxes. He is pressing amnesty because it will be a boondoggle, allowing not only illgels from south of the border but desert barbarians from the ME who have no buisness being in our country.

He is trouble and Rubio has basically destroyed any conservative credibility he had by aligning with the muslim agent Norq.

I can imagine a backroom filled with liberal politicians, their friends and lobbyists and young upstarts. An old, seasoned legislooter is advising the young one. The young one says, “I hate those darn republicans!”.

The old guy says, “ Now, Son, There must be one or two things you like about ‘em! Think REAL hard!”

“Well”, the youngster says, “ I kinda hate that we have to pay so damn much in taxes, now that I’m making some money!”

“There ya go, boy! That’s why you got us...to tell us how ya really feel....You just keep preachin’ it...Hell! Sell it! Make some bucks along the way! Congratulations! You are now a CONSERVATIVE!”

And THAT is how a Grover Norquist is born. And many of them. I keep thinking about Norquist and Roves close association with the College/Young Republicans and their offshoot, the Log Cabin Republicans.

Remember trying to get ahold of SALLY for the Grover Event in Chicago?

I sent your article to a Jewish and (Conservative) member and asked him why the Republican Party would bring this guy in. The guy I sent it to is a pretty sensitive and level headed guy....We will see what happens.

PS Illinois Review took DOWN the Grover Norquist advertisement on their page

Norquist's lobbying firm, Janus-Merrit Strategies

Janus, as in the two-faced Roman god of gates and doors, beginnings and endings?

This article has some interesting points!! It’s been a while since I really did any research on Grover..there’s all kinds of new things.

Note his quote, “”The tax issue,” he says, “is the one thing everyone agrees on.”

THAT is the hook.
He only needs one ‘bone’ to throw to keep we conservatives in his camp. He can disagree with us on everything else, but that’s the ‘hold’. Hell of a game and it worked like a charm.

[snip]The meetings, which began shortly after Bill Clinton was elected, turned Norquist into the Republican Party’s foremost power broker – and gave him a forum to enforce the no-new-taxes pledge as the centerpiece of the GOP’s strategy. “The tax issue,” he says, “is the one thing everyone agrees on.”

Norquist cemented his influence by forging an early alliance with Karl Rove and setting himself up as a gatekeeper to George W. Bush’s inner circle. Then, after Obama was elected, this ultimate Washington insider positioned himself as a leader of the anti-establishment Tea Party, complete with financial support from the billionaire Koch brothers. “These Tea Party people, in effect, take their orders from him,” says Bruce Bartlett, an architect of the Reagan tax cuts. “He decides: This is a permissible tax action, or this is not a permissible tax action. And of course, anything that cuts taxes is per se OK”

Norquist is a lobbyist, who shouldn't influence anybody ideologically.

Once this gets known, he won't have much influence left.

Stop taking his pledges for a start.

But watch out for the next guy to play his role: whoever replaces Norquist will probably be a lobbyist as well, with his or her own disreputable clients.

Does anyone keep a supply of tar and feathers around for these kinds of occasions?

Oh, my. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“sent your article to a Jewish and (Conservative) member and asked him why the Republican Party would bring this guy in.”

He’s been in before he was ‘in’. Was a young low level staffer in the Regan White house. So was Mark Levin. I wonder if they knew each other then.
