Grover Norquist isnt happy with the Defunders. The Americans for Tax Reform president told reporters today that they have a lot of apologies to make and bridges to re-build.
Itd be a good idea if they stopped referring to other Republicans as Hitler appeasers because they opposed the strategy they put forward which failed, Norquist says. I think if you make a mistake as big as what they did, you owe your fellow senators and congressmen a big apology and your constituents, as well, because nothing they did advanced the cause of repealing or dismantling Obamacare.
Norquist refrained from naming the specific people who he thinks owe apologies to the rest of the conservative movement, but his reference is transparent during his lengthy floor speech, Senator Ted Cruz said Republicans who supported a CR that would fund Obamacare were comparable to Neville Chamberlain.
Norquist adds that the defund effort has hurt its proponents goals.
They hurt the conservative movement, they hurt peoples health care, they hurt the countrys economic situation and they hurt the Republican party, he says. And a lot of congressmen and senators are not going to win because we spent three months chasing our own tail or at least, parts of the conservative movement spent three months chasing their own tail.
He also compared the Defunders strategy to that of the Iraq invasion.
These are the people who said, Plan: Step One, Invade Iraq. Step Two, It turns into Kansas, Norquist says. Could I ask if theres anything in between Step One and Step Two? Oh ye of little faith.
Jump in, Grover, the water's fine.
In this case I think you spelled PEAS wrong.
It should read PEES.
Everyone is wussying in front of the One. Pathetic. The message against the cultivation of disease and handicaps by Obamacare should be easy to shape, and that is all.
What is it with people who cannot stay on language?
Grover has it backwards. Besides, Conservatives DID WANT to defund Democratcare! The others are not conservative.
Man, it is so obvious that Barry has pics of Grover doing farm animals. Guy is a loon!
Mine, too, Grover!
Norquist just wants “his” immigration bill.
I couldn’t have said it better!
Sent an email earlier telling the GOP pretty much the same thing. Done holding my nose and voting for dem-lite(GOPe). From here on out, I will only vote for conservatives. The republicans have lost my vote.
Did Cruz ruin our health care, or did the Senators who did not join him in voting against cloture?
How is health care improved if full Obamacare funding was passed with no protest?
RINOs and Big Money are the reasons the coalition fell apart.
Big Capitalism has sealed its fate — it has proven itself to be a participant of fascism indifferent to the liberty defined in the Constitution.
The elections of 2014 must answer to this betrayal of our liberty.
Norquist is an idiot, his reasoning equally idiotic.
Pound sand Muzzie lover.
Grover, Go screw yourself.
The defunders ARE the conservatives.
Norquist once was a “real” conservative but he’s changed over the years for the following possible reasons:
1. He’s become less influential and wants to regain some power
2. His Palestinian? wife has influenced him to change to something “lesser” than he was in the past.
3. He’s just plain wrong in his assessments of the conservative movement and is wrong to attack those within the GOP with whom he disagrees.
4. He’s a William Jennings Bryan at the wrong time in history.
5. He’s just lost it.
Whatever he has become, it is not good for the average American who is trying to fight the new marxist tyranny in
the White House.
