Grover Norquist and the Death of the GOP

Andrew Reinbach: Grover Norquist and the Death of the GOP

He's forced, bullied, and otherwise persuaded most of Republicans in Congress to swear they'll never raise taxes, and he says he's ready to enforce it. If that pledge plunges the federal budget and world's economy into the slough of despond -- well, that's tough. What Little Grover wants, Little Grover gets.

He's probably not thinking about that. He's probably thinking about how close he is to drowning the government in a bathtub. But he should be thinking about it, and about Euripides, because if the Democrats have any brains at all -- and they do have some, anyway -- they can run against that pledge for the next year, sweep the elections, and destroy little Grover in the process.

How could one man dupe and entire party and think most Americans think like him?

Grover and Newt spawned from the same cesspool.

Why the Republicans in Congress would allow this little shrimp to bully them is beyond reason. They should all simply take themselves off his list and let him swirl around in his own bullshit.
