Your timing is exquisite, Mr. Norquist

Norquist meets privately with GOP to reinforce anti-tax pledge - latimes.com

And some Republicans have grown weary of the pledge -- saying they want more options in handling the nation's tough budgetary matters.

Even before Norquist, the feisty president of Americans for Tax Reform, set foot on the Hill on Thursday, a top Democrat, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, offered a prebuttal to the visit.

"All of you should know that the most powerful man in Washington will be visiting Congress this coming Thursday, and it's not Bryce Harper," Reid said earlier in the week, invoking the Washington Nationals' new star slugger, a fellow Nevadan.

"It's Grover Norquist," Reid said. "Grover Norquist is the only Republican leader who can truthfully say he has the entire Republican Party in the palm of his hand. ... So if you want to know what the Republican position is on any of the enormous economic challenges facing this country, don't waste your time asking Governor Romney, Speaker Boehner or Senator McConnell. Just ask Grover."

Reid was referring to the GOP leaders -- Mitt Romney, the presumed Republican presidential nominee, House Speaker John A. Boehner and Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader.

Norquist's meeting with a gathering of House Republicans was private.

Private, huh? I wonder why.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Reid should think about passing a budget

 

[Truthmatters]

you should think about not licking the ass of a guy who wants our government dead

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Rdean has the Dem Party in the palm of his hand

 

[Rocko]

Whatever. The Obama administration is crumbling before our very eyes.........

 

[g5000]

I think Darth Norquist feels his power waning. Now he's got the GOP bigwigs together while he attempts to use the force to choke each of them back into submission.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Most Republican Congressmen could not pick Gorver Norquist out of a police lineup but I guess this is better than discussing Obama's eating a dog, telling his publisher he was born in Kenya or getting to the bottom of why he's helping Holder cover up F&F

Give up on posting your own thoughts and opinions Boop?

One question though. Did it bother you when dems bribed each other with OUR MONEY behind closed doors during the healthcare debacle?

Obama is on the ropes with scandals ranging from illegal gun running and manslaughter to releasing classified documents not to mention the economy in illegal immigration and the left is worried about what Grover Norquist is saying? Get real lefties.

Since 95 percent (not an exaggeration) of them have signed his pledge, I bet they could.

The GOP members didn't want any pictures taken of them kissing Grover's ring. Or perhaps it wasn't his ring.

That's one of their boogeymen. I have no idea of who he is.

Really? Were rocks involved?

Remember when all the Republican candidates said they wouldn't even raise taxes $1 even if it meant that there would be $10 in spending cuts? Yeeeeaaaaah. That was because they signed Grover's pledge.

What would've happened had they broke their pledge? I know HW Bush broke his no new taxes and got canned.
