(coming from the biggest parasite)
Tax reduction crusader Grover Norquist took the helm at CPAC earlier this evening with a fiery speech reminding CPAC attendees to keep their eye on the ball in reducing taxes and giving them a game plan as to how to promote conservatism to the best of their ability. The plan included plenty of what one would expect: refusing to sit at the table with Democrats to increase taxes and going on a state by state plan to flip Democratic leadership in each of the fifty of fifty-seven states, whos counting?
Norquist celebrated that the rise of aggressive conservatism had cornered the American Left. Now theyre wondering who theyre going to eat or throw overboard, he joked, adding on a serious note that the left is not made up of friends and allies, it is made up of competing parasites. He noted that their successes came from bring Republicans to the table. In 1982, they lied and fooled Ronald Reagan, he argued, whereas in 2011, they werent able to talk the Republicans into swallowing their own tongues and committing suicide.
Norquist gave a few thank yous to the 5th and 6th waves of immigration into our party, the Rep. Ron Paul inspired Tea Party and the more socially conservative Tea Party, which he was happy to welcome. He told the crowd that, just as Walmart doesnt get upset when new people come into their parking lots, so too Republicans shouldnt be worried to see new faces or ideas. But one idea Norquist refused to entertain was the idea of raising taxes. You cannot solve a problem with too much spending by raising taxes, he argued, and laid out a plan to regain the state governments for the GOP, while following up with a reminder that a tax on smoking disproportionately hurts the lower classes.

Out this guy, and the religious right splits right down the middle.

He's made his living scamming and lobbying and sucking up to career parasites.
And he compares the Republican party to WalMart, which is hilarious.
Norquist will have his day. But he should already be in prison.

(4 posts)I see this terrifying buffoon still doing his dirty work. On a related note, there's a site on YouTube with some very interesting music-video takes on the Occupy movement, designed to provide some relevant "entertainment" for the occupiers "between engagements, as the poster says, including one on Grover himself. It's worth checking out if for nothing else, a few shucks and grins.
