Norquist proves every day he still has the maturity and thinking of a spoiled 12 yr old.
But that makes him a bit more mature than many of his GOP counterparts.
Why would anyone want that? In 1910 the average life expectancy was 48 years, children worked in mines and factories, some of which had locked doors to prevent employees from taking a break, and the Wall Street tycoons were having "panics" every few years because of no regulations of their pure capitalism.
Frank, a challenge. Choose any game, checkers to football. Eliminate all the rules (regulations). Now choose 3 friends and play the game.
Report back here. I will wait.

There is no game at all without rules, just chaos.
Call me a " commie" if you will. As a popuation we are here on this planet. Together. whether we like it or not. Is it not about time we agree to disagree about what separates us and agree what unites us and work things out. We arer only on this planet for a finite time , and then we recede to the soil. Poltical s**t is fleeting, as is life.
If you take more taxes then you bring in, you're a parasite.
Seeing as how that's the definition of almost every red state, busy leaching off of productive Blue states, what's your solution the the TRUE parasite problem in the US? I think we should call the Orkin man.
There are valid arguments both right and left in this country, and they keep getting lost because of this bulls**t, where some idiot can stand up, stump around in fantasy land, completely ignore facts and reality, and get cheered for it, while someone proposing real solutions gets ignored because real solutions are too much like growing up and handling your s**t like an adult.

Norquist, the man who states his goal is a return to 1900 America. Why is someone so backwards thinking speaking anywhere?

MONEY as in campaign funds.

In an interview on 60 Minutes, he stated he came up with his pledge at the age of 12.

So the guy trying to push for lower taxes is claiming that the side that generally wants higher taxes is the parasite? Yeah, that makes sense.

I love the Norquist loyalists in this thread. Even moderate Conservatives regret his stupid pledges.

So the guy who wants to live in a safe, modern country but doesn't want to pay any taxes to help support it is calling other people parasites...

What I don't understand is how this guy has so much power over the republicans .
dabble53Feb 12, 2012Buried
This is EXACTLY what the GOP wants. A return to essentially slave/child labor.
You've answered your own question.

His stated goal is to weaken our nation to the point where he can 'drown it in a bathtub.'

Every member of congress who signed his pledge should be tried for treason.

Frank do you know when the Great Depression was, look it up, then look up the cause. No fed then either. I do feel bad for you.

I did not say Grover wanted the depression back. He stated in an interview he wanted the 1900's back. I simply attribute his own words to him.
