"This is the Grover Norquist Congress"

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) (click title to entry - thank you) on Wednesday criticized Republicans in a 20-minute floor speech for blocking any bipartisan agreement on deficit reduction for the last several years, which he said was due in large part to their allegiance to Grover Norquist.

"John Boehner could never go against Grover," Reid said. "Grover Norquist. This is the 'Grover Norquist Congress,' because Republicans shake in their boots."...

Yesterday, the USA Senate Republicans, including Scott Brown filibustered the vote to maintain student loan rates.

...On a related point, (click here) Reid also criticized Republicans for trying to backtrack on the agreement both sides were finally able to reach last year to cut the deficit, which calls for $1.2 trillion in cuts to defense and social programs.

"The House is doing everything they can to walk away from the agreement that we made, the bipartisan vote that we took," Reid said. "They're doing everything that they can....

Norquist believes the GOP simply needs a President elected that believes in the anarchy of the Right Wing. No one else in the country matters, only the Norquist agenda is pertinent to the outcomes of the people of the USA. Anarchists. Unfortunately, a nation of people and a US Constitution stand in their way.

"All we have to do is replace Obama. ...  We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. ... We just need a president to sign this stuff....Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared."


Mitt Romney fits the requirements, willing to do anything to be President with fingers that function to specifications.
