Grover Norquist does what's best for Grover Norquist.
You only seem to post for a few specific sites and never reply to anyone. Is this volunteer work or are you paid staff?
Interesting.
This entity seems only to post threads and never a reply.
Curious.
Yep. And pimping Norquist around here will go over about as well as passing a bottle of MD 20/20 at the Women’s Missionary Union meeting.
I like specific sites because their content tends to flow with a certain regularity. If I didn't agree with the content I wouldn't post it. I am not educated enough yet to write my own material, maybe one day. Until then I shall repost what I like, provided it follows the rules of the kindly administrators. If I were some intern, I would be trying to maximize readers by responding to fellow freepers with blood thirsty attacks on the president, and generally little substance, unlike right now.
So you just pimp for specific sources?
Without participating in the forum that allows you these pimping priveleges?
Oh come on, Grover has issues I don’t agree with him on; but he does hold RINOs to the fire on taxes. Grover helped Virginia a few years ago get RINOs out of the legislature. This is helping Bob McDonnell reduce spending. Don’t make the perfect the enemy of the good. And my name is Andrea, entity is a word I’ve only heard on Star Trek shows.
Hmmm. That almost sounds like a broad brush slam, and revealing statement on how you really feel about the average poster on FR? Or were you just referring to 'gunner and eaker?
I am sorry that I don’t comment elsewhere enough for some people’s tastes. I didn’t know that people expected me to comment as much. :)
Neither you, nor ‘gunner, nor eaker. I’ve never spoken with either before. So far they’re asking fair questions and I presume they’re probably better informed than I. Living in Virginia, I know people who have been interns, paid or not, and they’re generally told to go Forums besides Free Republic, and post just “I hate Barack Obama” and get others to respond without any content. FreeRepublic.com requires some thought into posts, which just about every Freeper does.
Fair enough.
But the accepted form is to FIRST participate in the forum, comment on threads, make your views known.
LATER after becoming established threads may be posted.
It is considered good form to “babysit” these threads and respond to posts on them.
This is not a rule by any means, but adherance will prevent accusations of pimping or worse.
Just sayin’...
Just like the fags when they call us homophobic when we are really disgusted by them not threatened or frightened.
It appears you like to post crap that you cannot defend and excerpt it for blog hits.
Pretty transparent actually.
You’re saying something that’s right. I’ll get more involved when fellow Freepers respond to something I say; thanks for the advice.
Even a blind hog finds a grain of corn now and again.
“Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist faces down Alan Simpson”
Good ol’ Grover. If he’d just stick to taxes, he might have some credibility.
This isn’t the first time he’s faced down Alan Simpson, and Nourquist was on the WRONG side that time.
Illegal-immigration bill weakened by unlikely alliance
By Marcus Stern
04-Nov-1997
[snips] WASHINGTON - After years of bitter losses, Sen. Alan K. Simpson thought the political tides finally favored his quest to create a way to keep illegal immigrants from getting jobs.
The issue had emerged as a hot-button during the 1996 campaign. This time, he would surely defeat the powerful and savvy pro-immigration lobby.
Once again, he had sorely underestimated the tenacity and cleverness of special-interest groups determined to preserve the flow of undocumented workers into the United States.
Yes, Congress eventually passed a new immigration law. But it was so weak it would do little to hasten the creation of a system to help employers quickly and reliably verify that the people working for them are in fact eligible to hold jobs in the United States. Such a system is a key to curbing illegal immigration, according to many experts.
The “twitching dogs” who dragged down Simpson’s initiative last year are Capitol heavyweights whose coalition on immigration falls into the unlikely bedfellows category. Among them: the National Federation of Independent Business, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Rifle Association, the Catholic church, the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Bar Association and even some labor unions.
Grover Norquist, a social conservative and anti-tax Republican lobbyist, reveled unapologetically in the tactics he used to undermine the verification initiative and to mock Simpson personally.
The peel-off bar-code tattoos were supposed to remind people of the way Nazis tattooed Jews during World War II.
“It was great,” recalled Norquist, who is close to House Speaker Newt Gingrich. “We had our guys walking around with tattoos on their arms. It drove Simpson nuts because the implication was he’s a Nazi.”
Norquist has strong ties to the business community. Mainstream firms like Microsoft paid him to lobby against other provisions of the bill, such as tighter restrictions on the immigration of computer programmers.
But his forte is mobilizing support among social or moral conservatives, including gun owners (Note: Norquist now on board of NRA), the religious right, home-schooling adherents and others he described as “anti-welfare and anti-police state.”
Verification opponents also circulated mock national identification cards bearing Simpson’s likeness. On the back of the cards was a retina scan diagram suggesting that the legislation called for everyone to carry such a card.(THERE was no such thing in the bill!)
“That was a good one,” Norquist chuckled.
