The Democratic co-chair of the committee, Patty Murray, speaking to CNN on Sunday, said: “As long as we have some Republican lawmakers who feel more enthralled with a pledge they took to a Republican lobbyist than they do to a pledge to the country to solve the problems, this is going to be hard to do.”



In spite of his denial, Norquist holds a lot of sway over Republicans. He has been pressing Republican candidates to sign his lobby group’s Taxpayer Protection Pledge since founding Americans for Tax in 1985. President Reagan signed up the following year.



Norquist hangs on to the signatures decade after decade. For him, the promise is for life, regardless of changes in the country’s economic conditions.




Norquist, he says, is “the single most effective conservative activist in the country”.

Grover Norquist:


Newt Gingrich (to Occupy Wall Street protesters):

Go get a job, right after you take a bath.

Well, you won’t be President, you disgusting bastard, so you had better take a bath and then go get a job.

    Relieved to hear that Huntsman did not sign that pledge. ‘The Pledge’ is so antithetical to my way of thinking (which requires/demands elasticity of thought, reason, planning, implementation and collective FAIRNESS).

    ♥ ♥ ♥ Huntsman ♥ ♥ ♥

    P.S. Wouldn’t you know it, I use the ‘sensitive skin – unscented’ (beauty!) version of Chicken Hawk.

    • the pledge is antithetical to the oath of office. those in office are supposed to pledge their loyalty to the constitution, not a lobbyist.

        Grover is so diligently watching out for the taxpayer money, my I say Fox in a Henhouse???? How much is in numbered and off-shore accounts for the Fox???? Wake up middleclass and poor republicans and I know you are out there, only the rich need to look misty-eyed at Mr Fox, he is not in your corner. You are nothing but a vote!!!!

        • hello leelee,

          welcome to the raisin! 😀

          you are correct that people had better beware of mr. fox. not only is he guarding the henhouse, he’s one of the owners, and he’s only trying to protect his own interests (daddy’s money). he doesn’t give a flying crap about this country.

          hope you’ll stop by again soon. 🙂

    ok nonnie i had no idea this was a porno site. seeing those man boobs and newt and imagining what these two asshats might do to the rubber elephant is too profane for my sensitivities…

  3. I’d have something smart to say, except that Inspired and I just came home from New Jersey. The place sucks and we’re happy to be back in Detroit. Yes, Trenton is worse than Detroit.

  4. So, that’s the bathtub. 😦

  5. kids!!! you simply must scroll through this guy’s work. his name is liu bolin, and he’s known as the invisible man of china. amazing!

  6. I hope this lockstep pledge BS equals handing these schlubs their asses on a platter @ election time.

  7. Grover…the disciple that Ronald loved…is an arrogant prick. Saw the 60 Minutes interview and agree with critics that say he is selling protection, a very political form of racketering. Brings to mind one of the old popular phrases from high school: ” Who died and made you God?”

    Oh yeah, you OWS protesters should go get a bath because the constitution clearly states that you only can have your rights if you practice good hygiene. I’m sure it says that right after the part about how a sock-puppet and tool can wield power over elected officials and hold them accountable instead of having them serve the people.

    The Chicken Hawk won’t work. Industrial lye and wire brushes won’t work. Nothing will get the stench off of those two scumbags.

    • newtie loves to denigrate everyone who doesn’t worship him, but he’s got no redeeming characteristics whatsoever. he can try to rewrite his own history as much as he wants, but he can never make himself likable. he’s arrogant and nasty. he thinks the protesters have a sense of entitlement? i think someone who has a sense of entitlement might be getting blowjobs in his car and not caring who knows while his wife is at home watching his kids.

    I just don’t know who I loathe more, Norquist or the many Republicans who decided that “representative” government was bending over and letting a lobbyist do it to them.

  10. See pics like this will cause Jerry Falwell to rise from the dead. …. thankfully not. Oh … on the first debate with Newt leading the way – yep – I didn’t watch – and continue to disregard the GOP candidates as much as possible.

  11. Normally i like your work. But after seein’ that one, I had to run to the toilet and puke, and then fire-up a joint to try a get that image erased from my mind.

  12. Newt Gingrich is one of the most disgusting men I have ever seen.

    What kind of man goes to the hospital to ask his wife for a divorce while she lay battling cancer? Gingrich is a man without a conscience or a soul.

    He could easily be a serial killer had he not found his way to academia and later, the US Congress.

    Newt Gingrich is no more suited to be president than Charles Manson.

  13. Okay, Nonnie: How is this pledge legal? Why can’t a class action suit be brought against Norquist for breaking the “spirit of the law” that brought down the lobbyist, Abramoff? This is like the old “protectia” in my old neighorhood: “pay (in this case ‘sign pledge’) us a fee and we’ll let you stay in business.” I ask again, how is this legal and why are we letting Norquist and the Repubs get away with this? The budget should be balanced by trimming entitlements AND raising taxes. I’m willing to pay more taxes if it will help our country get out of debt, and I’m anything but a millionare. What am I missing here?

    • it’s extortion, but it’s legal extortion. that’s what’s wrong with the system. we have to take the money out of politics, or we might as well just accept that our country is now a corpocracy or a plutocracy. put the koch brothers in the oval office, and burn the voting booths for warmth.

  14. Nonnie: I just found something at a site called: Conservative Version of the ‘The View’ Even Worse Than You Thought If you haven’t spoofed this then you must! Saturday Night Live is sure to pick it up since it features one of their old players who has gone rogue (Victoria Jackson).
    It’s at I’m still trying to find out where it is aired. Yikes!

  15. i think grover’s boobs are bigger than bachmann’s
