ummmm....why does this article make sooo many references to Norquist and his “Americans for Tax Reform”? Maybe it’s just me, but the way this article reads leads me to believe that he/they are/were much more involved in our grassroots movement than I’d like. Anyone?
I’m not too worried about it. Somebody has to do an official tally, it might as well be Americans for tax reform. I know that I heard about and helped organize in PSL through a 912 group that glenn beck started. I went to the orlando tea party in March organized by 3 housewives that appeared on Glenn Beck the next day. How did you hear about your tea party? How did everyone else hear about theirs? We had no money, we made our own signs, we took our own day off work to be there, we paid our own way to get there. And the libs, on their very best day, could not pull off what we did. Enjoy your moment, then tomorrow, GET BACK OUT THERE AND FIGHT!!!! :)
Because Grover is striving mightily to get out in front on this one.
He's doomed to failure, of course, because this wasn't ABOUT taxes, per se, but the perversion of our country and our political system.
I have noticed several groups and a couple of politicians that have tried to put themselves out in front of the TEA movement. I think it just comes natural for certain personalities.
Its like that person at work that always stands up to take credit for the collective efforts of a group. Its best to just nod and smile, knowing that all involved know what really happened.
I’m not surprised about it, but it pisses me off to no end to see pols and lobbyists trying to hitch their wagons to this movement. Especially that scumbag Norquist.
‘anyone’? yep and we are speaking of that same grover norquist who is very heavily involved with the promotion and attempted acceptance around America of that wonderful muslim front organization, C.A.I.R. and also the founder of the ‘islamic studies group’. he is a real sneaky enemy from what I have read. just a few years back he even managed to sit on the board of directors at the NRA!!! (not sure how he pulled that off or if he still is involved there but/and I would have hoped they would have ash canned him by now, the NRA is to great of an organization to have him helping direct agenda).
