Norquist: 'Tea Party 2' Backlash if Obama Sends Nation Over Fiscal Cliff

Sunday, December 2, 2012 04:09 PM

Grover Norquist, the founder of Americans for Tax Reform, predicted a tea party backlash that would dwarf the movement’s success in the 2010 midterm elections if President Barack Obama pushes the nation over the “fiscal cliff.

“Tea Party two is going to dwarf tea party one if Obama pushes us off the cliff,” warned Norquist on NBC’s “Meet The Press.”

When asked “Are you over?” by host David Gregory, Norquist responded, “That was last week’s news.”

I have not heard from the so called tea-party since the 2010 election.

did they sit on their laurels for those 2 years?

Walkin in a Winter Wonderland:

*************

Leftists sing, are you listening,

In Bohner’s brain, Reid is pi$$ing

A beautiful sight,

We’re happy tonight.

Walking in Obama’s wonderland.


**********

Gone away is the budget,

All we can do, is try to nudge it

Obama sings a love song,

As we go along,

Walking in Obama’s wonderland.


****************

In the meadow we can build Rice’s snowman,

Then pretend that she is Secretary State


*******************

She’ll say: Are you married?

We’ll say: No man,

But you can do the job

If thats your fate.


*****************

Later on, we’ll conspire,

As we dream by Reichstag fire

To face unafraid,

The treason we’ve made,

Walking in Obama’s wonderland.


********************

In the meadow we can build a snowman,

And pretend that he’s Obama’s clown

We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman,

Until the Constitution knocks Obama down.


*******************

When in debt, ain’t it thrilling,

Though your wallet gets a chilling

We’ll frolic and play,in the fascist way,

Walking in Obama’s wonderland.

***********************

As far as I’m concerned, there hasn’t been a GOP since it was taken over by the Democrats when their party was taken over by the Socialist/Communist party. The sooner registered Republicans realize that and starve the beast, the better.

Unfortunately, a significant number of Tea Party patriots are seniors who receive SS and Medicare. For those folks, taxes may be a secondary concern in all this.

The GOP leadership is still reeling from the election. The draconian nature of Obama’s plans are not being openly critiqued or receiving the ridicule they deserve. The TEA party must form a final line of resistance to save what’s left of the country. History will thank them.

” “If people watch this on C-SPAN, then you won’t have higher taxes,” he said.”

As long as the C-SPAN programming doesn’t interfere with “Dancing With The Stars”, “Wishing I Was A Kardashianhian” or “Jersey Showa”...or slow the public down from getting to the Jiffy-Mart to buy their Mega-Trillion Dollar Powerball ticket.

It is critical that discussion includes jobs.

Jobs.

Jobs in America.

We begin forming a real national conservative party, now:

United States Independent Party -Taxed Enough Already ( USIP-Tea)

The GOP died when they dissed and outed Sarah Palin for being a genuine , honest American. EFF the GOP , we do not need the pricks.

There are 10 working days for this congress. Action is not likely.
The “cliff” is a DNC construct, designed for 35 second news blurbs.

I predict the year will end and the Bush tax cuts will go away. This will impact 2014’s tax returns. Plenty of time for a correction.

Conservatives are not going to defeat President Obama and the liberals until conservatives defeat the GOP.

The most important elections in our lifetimes are going to be the 2014 and 2016 primaries. The Tea Party and Values Conservatives (ie. GENUINE CONSERVATIVES) need to take over the GOP Establishment and throw every one of them out on their ear.

Domestic energy (drilling for oil and natural gas, building Keystone) would mean plenty of jobs; bith directly and indirectly. It’s out there; let’s go get it.

Insha’Allah, eh, Grover? For you folks in Rio Linda, that means “God willing” in Arabic. But don’t worry, Grover knows what it means.

Fiscal-Cliff Negotiations
By John Fund
December 3, 2012 4:00 A.M.

Republicans had better wake up and realize that their negotiations with the White House aren’t so much about how to avoid the looming “fiscal cliff” as they are about President Obama’s attempt to cement his historical legacy as a great liberal hero by forcing them to repudiate their anti-tax pledges.

On Thursday, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner presented the White House’s position on averting the fiscal cliff. It called for $1.6 trillion in higher taxes,

Wrong, dead wrong. I'm one of them and I'm ready to EMBRACE the fiscal cliff it it would destroy Obama' s socialism. I'd take the hit without looking back for an instant. Don't forget the seniors know more about what we are losing than any other generation...we know how good it WAS...and we want it back for our kids and grandkids!

The T-Party energy turned out the vote that gave the GOP a second life. The GOP managed to squander this effort and will likely be discarded. What is next?

Of all of the Tea Party meeting and events that I have attended, most participants were seniors.
