Keep an eye on Grover Norquist, he's one of the biggest problems in the political world. (See replies)
Grass roots, politicians differ on immigration
"Republican strategist Grover Norquist has a ready explanation for the success of the well-organized and well-connected pro-immigration coalition against the public preference expressed in polls.
"Intensity trumps preference," Norquist said. Few Americans make voting decisions based on immigration policies, he said, so the issue has little practical political effect. He drew another moral from the story: "Politicians pay more attention to elections than they do to polls."
I read that article. It turned by stomach. Norquist is a scumbag that would do any twisted deal for a buck including protecting Muslims with close ties to terrorism. He defines well the sickness in the Republican Party.
