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 agree with you. My point is that he can get plenty of senior Tea Party folks on the street to oppose Obamacare. Cutting Medicare - not so much.

Both Obamacare and Medicare are socialist programs, but many seniors like one and hate the other.

[Cheerio]

from keeping the GOP from going the way of the Whigs
Oh, your one of those "moderate types" eh?

There is nothing about the GOP worth saving, they are now the dems of the 90's.

This is a Conservative forum, not one for squishy mealy minded moderate trolls.

AMEN to that - time for the GOP to complete their suicide that was begun under GWB.

Say, you got thos DU talking points down pretty good!

[Kansas58]

You are a hate filled jerk and I am asking that you be kicked off of these threads.

You do not belong here.

We have intense, heated debates on FR, and at times I cross the line, for which I am sorry.

You, however, do not seem to know where that line is.

All who agree please ping the Moderator.

Good bye.

[Bitsy]

we know how good it WAS...and we want it back for our kids and grandkids!

Lost in the ‘50’s. If I only could.

[teflon9]

So the truth is now DU talking points? You weren't at Jonestown back in '78, were you Ron? On second thought, I doubt you were. You'd have drank the kool-aid first thing, and wouldn't be here now keyboarding away. LOL!

Immediately: WE started paying for that PONZI SCHEME, now for over 40 years, paying into it, and now to be shut out is just not right. WE PAID and paid and paid.

We also paid our SS. I wish the younger people would understand this. WE PAID, they took the MONEY right out of our checks, they stole it, that money is OURS, it is owed us and it is not WELFARE.

Yes, exactly. If you just add that you oppose Obamacare, you are expressing precisely what I am hearing from the seniors I encounter.

[Kansas58]

You are a socialist.
The Free Market should dictate trade.
Reduce taxes.
Reduce regulations.
Reduce lawsuit liability.

Business will improve dramatically!

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Whatever.

I disagree with you.

That is why we have a place to discuss and debate.

[teflon9]

Post 45 was a minor ribbing about evangelism, and you’re ranting like it was the crime of the century. Lighten up.

[Kansas58]

You are, again, demonstrating your socialist thinking.

American companies have American stockholders, pensions, retirement plans, etc.

It is the legal duty of these companies to produce a profit for their owners, the stockholders.

The majority of the fortune 500 compamies have their home offices in foreign countries, today.

The majority of the profit, in the Fortune 500 companies, comes from OUTSIDE the United States.

We have the highests corporate income tax rates in the world.

Why don't you get OBAMA and the DEMOCRATS to “act like Americans” and lower corporate tax rates?

[Las Vegas Ron]

Thanks but I actually think it was GHWB with his “voodoo economics” and “kinder gentler nation” bs that really got the slide to the left going.

By using those slogans he completely demoralized the princples Reagan and the few Conservatives who were in the GOP stood for.

JMHO ;)

[teflon9]

That was neocon, empire-building, expansionist, stick-our-nose-in-Old-World-business prattle straight out of the AEI, Heritage and AIPAC playbook. If a REAL conservative like Pat Buchanan or the late Joe Sobran was within earshot of that clucking chickenhawk, Whittle would be sporting three new body cavities. We’re a republic, not an empire. The Old World has been nothing but a source of grief and mischief for the New World. Wackadoos (there’s that word again) like Whittle choose to ignore that fact.

How would your plan prevent a company from exporting "American" jobs?

Your answer is very revealing, but maybe you should start by first asking why companies choose to do business elsewhere.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Ditto to Kansas58 post!

Oh, did you post something truthful, troll?
