This is effectively the end of Grover Norquist’s influence on the American right.

Most of these organizations are our worst enemy. They pretend to be on our side, but they only want to fight to a draw or even a slight loss. They exist on contributions and they can beg for money easier if we’re playing defense all the time.

‘Freaking Retarded’

The political debate in our once great country has now officially left the fourth grade level and has entered the second grade level.

“This is effectively the end of Grover Norquist’s influence on the American right.”

His influence disappeared when it became common knowledge that he was a willing shill for the muzz.

Well is ‘retarded’ an uptick from ‘terrorist’? Folks who are in it for themselves, will never get it.

The tweet provoked ire from conservatives. Drew Ryun, the political director for the conservative Madison Project PAC issued a statement slamming Ellis.

"This offensive remark is exactly what’s wrong with the K Street Republicans in Washington, DC. Instead of fighting for hard-working families that struggle every day to make ends meet, they choose to attack them," Ryun said in a statement released Thursday. "We work closely with the Tea Party movement and these people are salt of the earth Americans that take the future of our nation seriously. They are hurting from the costs of Obamacare and feel completely disenfranchised by the Washington elite. The last thing they deserve is to be disrespected by Grover Norquist and his so called ‘conservative’ operation. At the very least, the Tea Party deserves an apology from ATR."

Some of us knew about Norquist a long time ago.

Frank Gaffney was the first I heard speak of Norquist bringing muslim influence into upper echelon GOP politics.

Yes, it’s definitely been falling for a couple years, but his tax pledge was still in play last cycle. I think even that is done now.

“freaking retarded.”

No need to read further. If it walks like a leftist and talks like a leftist, then it must be a leftist.

UPDATED: A few days ago Ellis attacked Cruz at the Daily Caller. Ellis participated in the comments writing:

“ive been fighting obamacare since long before anyone ever heard of ted cruz. frankly, he can go to hell.“
