I know many here dislike Norquist, but he is probably fifty percent right on this one.
I think there are three wings of the Republican party; Conservative,Libertarian and GOPe. that means there are only three on his list that all three wings will vote for. Only three that have not be demonized by one or two of these wings. Gov. Scott Walker, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Texas Gov. Rick Perry. None of whom is my favorite, but each of whom I could vote for.

Ever since he founded the “Islamic Free Market Institute” and his marriage to a Muslim, Norquist has sold out conservative principles and supports anything he thinks will help Muslims. I'm not interested in what he predicts. He may be getting paid for his views.

“In 2004, at age 48, he married a Palestinian Muslim named Samah Alrayyes, a Kuwaiti PR specialist who was formerly a director of the Islamic Free Market Institute and specialist at the Bureau of Legislative and Public Affairs at United States Agency for International Development (USAID).”

“The Islamic Free Market Institute (also known simply as the Islamic Institute) is a Muslim outreach group founded by Khaled Saffuri and Grover Norquist in 1998,[1] where they served as executive director and chairman, respectively.”

“The Safa Trust donated at least $35,000, and the International Institute of Islamic Thought contributed $11,000. Both organizations were alleged to be part of the so-called SAAR Network of interrelated business and non-profit entities with ties to sources of terrorism financing, and were among the subjects of a March 20, 2002 raid conducted by the U.S. Customs Service under the auspices of Operation Green Quest.

The Operation Green Quest raids led to the convictions of two people, including Abdurahman Alamoudi, who worked for the SAAR Foundation. Alamoudi admitted that he plotted with Libya to assassinate the Saudi ruler and was sentenced to 23 years in jail.”
