Grover Norquist on What's at Stake in the November Elections
Edited on Fri May-21-04 12:17 PM by BurtWorm
As quoted by Elizabeth Drew in NY Review of Books

http://www.nybooks.com/articles/17176


"If after the election Kerry is president but the Republicans control the House and Senate we can stop him from getting anybody on the Supreme Court, we won't let him raise taxes. No part of the Republican coalition would be damaged or destroyed by a Kerry victory. But with another four years of Bush, labor unions will decline further. We'll get tort reform which will cost the trial lawyers millions and millions. We'll be reducing government employment, which will hurt the public employees unions. There's no opportunity for a united Democratic government (i.e., control of all three branches of government). There is an opportunity for a united Republican government. So the Democrats are playing for higher stakes than we are, and this is very dangerous for Republicans."

7. I suppose that means. . .
That we just have to work like hell and win the whole fucking thing.

But we knew that didn't we?

8. Because Grovel has *'s ear,
this should be flown loudly from the highest yardarm, and quoted as often as possible. The libertarians love him because he wants to bankrupt the government, forcing it to shrink. The top 1% Rethugs love him because he wants them to not pay any taxes.

I can't think of any sensible person or group who would lust after this sort of divisionism.

Grovel, Grovel, Snort, Snort.

9. Grover is terrified...
the two party system of democratic governance MIGHT outlive him!
I'd be scared if I were he.

12. When Norquist dies (soon, I hope)...
I will travel to wherever his godforsaken corpse is and spit on his grave. The man should be confined in a room somewhere for the safety of this country.
