Grover vs. ‘the Bitter Enders’(Grover trying to give Rubio political cover)
NRO ^ | April 9,2013 | Betsy Woodruff

Posted on 04/09/2013 4:54:56 PM PDT by yongin

Grover Norquist is known as an anti-tax crusader, but in the coming weeks he will be just as much a pro-immigration crusader, combatting what he calls the “bitter enders” who oppose comprehensive immigration reform.

Norquist says that he’s trying to counteract the effect of “a handful of radio talk-show hosts who talk loudly.”

“The bitter-enders who are still responding to radio talk-show hosts from eight years ago haven’t noticed that the world has shifted from underneath them,” he says. “The people who need cover are the guys who are still voting like they were Pat Buchanan.”

Norquist’s group, Americans for Tax Reform (ATR), is using its famous Wednesday meeting as a model for marshaling conservative activists behind an immigration overhaul. In recent weeks, Norquist and his advisers have hosted fortnightly Friday meetings for conservative leaders and pro-reform Republicans.

“Norquist says that he’s trying to counteract the effect of “a handful of radio talk-show hosts who talk loudly.” [snip]”

That’s interesting. I have yet to hear Beck, Hannity, Levin or Rush ever mention Grover Norquist, much less expose this monster. Does he OWN all of them??

Intersting. I knew little about him. I never trusted Rove.

We’ve been here since the early 1700’s, fought in every war.
If immigration law means nothing, then ALL laws mean nothing!

Mexico thinks we are the dumping ground for their excess population and their criminals. Although Mexico, who has turned into an enemy nation, enforces tough laws regarding illegals, it demands that we cater to illegals aliens.

No Real Conservative supports Illegal Alien Amnesty

And no “anti-tax crusader” supports spending programs that will give TRILLIONS to people who broke the law

Grover Norquist is Anti-American

So Grover Norquist is a member of the Treason Lobby?

Now who would have ever guessed that?

Well probably anyone who has been paying attention to what he’s been doing since the late 90s.

““Conservative” as a political term will soon be meaningless, the way it continues to be stretched.”

‘Every great cause begins as movement, degenerates into a business, and ends as a racket’.

The movement that once elected Ronald Reagan entered the racket stage some time ago.

I don’t know about that, but Rush has been playing waterboy for Rubio at the same time that he has been denouncing the amnesty-by-another-name that Rubio is pushing.

Between this white-flag squish Norquist and the Heritage Foundation, I’ll go with the Heritage Foundation.
Every time.

Grover can GTH.

By invoking the term “bitter enders,” he sounds like the Marxist.

SEAL THE BORDER FIRST.

This rush for “immigration Reform” is nonsense.

This is exactly how the left first infiltrated, then took over the "cathedral" (academia/media/government nexus), are trying to do to Christianity, and have just about finished off the military. For some time now I have had absolutely no doubt that they are in the process of infiltrating and imploding the Republican party and the conservative movement. The very few movements/organisations/institutions they can never infiltrate (true Christianity, true conservatives), they are marginalising and demonising. Plus they have the advantage that those movements get smaller and smaller as the wheat gets separated from the chaff.

Besides being a racket, it’s losing whatever force it once had through leftist infiltration. Reagan was a blip on the screen in America’s leftwards shift, and even he presided over amnesty.

The military is in turmoil because of the pro-gay anti-war pro-illegal immigation stupid rules of engagement and of course blaming the Navy for North Korea’s dictatorship’s recent stupidity, but I remember reservists I was working with in the 1990s telling me how they weren’t going to reenlist, and how no one they knew was going to either, because of Slick. Long run, the military will be in the best shape of all. And it’s easy to see why — sectarian turmoil, faux-idealogical turmoil.

My brother said all that too under Clinton, but under Hussein, he said it and meant it.

Kind of like serving under Carter-nobody liked him as CIC, but it didn't intrinsically change the military culture, though it didn't help morale.

Serving under a weasel like Clinton, and being forced to serve with and under open sodomites and females in combat, are on different levels. Even though the military probably won't be deluged with sodomites enlisting, the ones who are there are going to use their power-just as the small but loud segment has in general society-and press their advantages. Also, the anti-Christianity cast the sodomites’ open and loud presence in the military is producing, might deter just the kind of traditional types who wanted to serve, from enlisting. That's certainly what they're saying on some Christian forums I frequent.

Even people whose families have served for generations are saying that they're telling their sons and grandsons that they would no longer recommend serving in this military.

I don't doubt that this is just the result that Hussein and the string-pullers wanted. A military which doesn't trust ordinary Americans, and in turn is not trusted by them. A reflection of this government (both parties) which doesn't trust ordinary Americans (bitter clingers, more gun control) and in turn is less trusted by them.

Don’t call him a “Crusader” — that is offensive to his Mooselim associates...

LOL!

One of Grover’s amnesty buddies, Cesar Conda is Rubios chief of staff!

Exclusive: Senator Marco Rubio’s Chief of Staff Maintains Financial Ties To Lobbying Firm

http://www.republicreport.org/2012/marco-rubio-lobbyist/

[snip]What sets Rubio’s office apart is Conda’s continued financial relationship with his lobbying firm. While many lobbyists tunnel deep into the upper echelons of government, most at least severe overt ties with their former clients. In Rubio’s case, his chief of staff still has an umbilical cord attached to K Street.

WAKE UP TEA PARTY, you are being USED!

Conda was Dick Cheney’s domestic policy advisor. He left there and went to work for George Soros. He is ALL about AMNESTY, always has been. He & Norquist destroyed prop 187 in California and they’re both tied into amnesty promotion with NEWT Gingrich!

http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/search?q=cesar+conda

WE MUST ROOT THESE INFILTRATORS OUT! THey are out to destroy conservatism and we are funding them! It’s the same bunch behind the scenes EVERY TIME.

Rubio must be voted out....he is a Norquist/Rove/Bush man!!! Part of what they’ve done is hijack several ‘tea party’ names for fundraising and they use the $$$ AGAINST US!
