Students of the GOP establishment take note: new documents revealed by ProPublica, the George Soros-funded "investigative journalism" outfit that supplies free content to media outlets, reveal that Rove's fundraising behemoth Crossroads GPS supplied $26.4 million of the approximately $31 million Norquist's outfit, Americans for Tax Reform, spent in 2012. That's about 85%.
In the corporate world, if one company owns 85% of another, that company is properly called a subsidiary.
Grover Norquist, a veteran conservative since his college days, is best known for his group's Taxpayer Protection Pledge, offered to candidates for office, in which they promise to "oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rate for individuals and business; and to oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates."
CBS's 60 Minutes dubbed Norquist "the most powerful man in Washington" because of the large number of GOP candidates who used to sign his pledge, but starting in 2012, the number signing it has been declining.
In 2010, Norquist startled many conservatives with his outspoken advocacy of the lower Manhattan 911 victory mosque, which some related to his acquisition of a Palestinian Muslim wife and adoption of a child born in Bethlehem. More recently, Norquist has emerged as an advocate of a path to citizenship for illegal aliens, also troubling to many grass roots conservatives.

Americans for Tax Reform’s Ryan Ellis Thinks Tea Party Activists Are “Freaking Retarded”
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 24th, 2013 at 01:13
When last we checked in on Ryan Ellis, the Tax Policy Director for Americans for Tax Reform, he was online saying Ted Cruz can go to hell and comparing Cruz to Aaron Burr.
Not content to express his hatred of Cruz, Ellis is now going after the tea party. Like with Cruz, his tweet speaks for itself:
Grover Norquist, Who has Ties to Actual Terrorists, Calls Tea Party “Terrorists”
October 25, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield
Rove and Norquist—just like birds of a feather flock together, these snakes slither together.
That stink isn’t going to wash off.
Well, well .... WELL! TokyoRove in hot water(?) pingy.
Grover Norquist is still a conservative? Since when? He went over a long time ago. Just like Kathleen Parker, et al still being called conservative journalists. Once the dam has been breached, it is no longer a dam....so why do we allow them to get by with calling these people conservatives? It really irritates me to no end.
Well, it’s all fine and dandy to make note of that now, but you better come to heel in 2016 and support the GOPe candidate like a good conservative.

Americans for Tax Reform Policy Director Ryan Ellis criticized what he called “defund terrorists” for their failed attempt to derail Obamacare on a conservative listserv, the Daily Beast reported Friday.
In an Oct. 17 email reviewed by the Daily Beast and sent to a listserv called the Repeal Coalition List, made up of about 200 conservative activists and writers, Ellis wrote that “the Repeal Coalition was hijacked by Defund terrorists. They flew the plane in a new direction and assured us that x, y, and z would follow. Not only did they not follow, but in fact a, b, and c happened.”
In 1998, Abdurahman Alamoudi, a self-described “supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah,” took an interest in Norquist, whom he knew to be one of the Republican Party’s most influential networkers.
The Treasury Department later identified Alamoudi as one of Al-Qaeda’s top North American fundraisers.
One of the organizations that Alamoudi funded was Norquist’s Islamic Free Market Institute, which was also funded by the Saudis and the governments of Qatar and Kuwait.
