Grover Norquist's thoughts on the 9/12 rallies
From ATR on Saturday, September 12, 2009 6:50 PMPOLITICO’s Arena features Grover Norquist’s thoughts on the 9/12 rallies:
This past week I travelled to the center-right coalition meetings in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and North Carolina and then this morning back to DC. I took my daughter out with stroller and walked for two hours against the flow of the 9/12 march to the taxpayer rally along Pennsylvania Ave. How many? Dunno. But two solid hours of marchers going past. Lots of great signs. One group of Obama fans standing off to one side. They were huddled around their sign "billionaires for tax cuts" and dressed in tuxes. They looked vaguely ridiculous contrasted with tens of thousands of actual middle class citizens sickened by the greed of Washington. The late Senator Moynihan spoke of the Reagan years as the time he realized that while his age cohort had always railed against the old farts...the modern Democrat party had become the old farts.
Obama and ACORN fancy they are the community organizers. They should drop by and see what real outrage and real community organizing--without taxpayer subsidies or paid union staff in purple T-shirts--looks like.
The denizens of the White House lack only big wigs to complete the Louis the Sixteenth and Marie Antoinette analogy. The already have the contempt for the little people down pat.

Perhaps Moynihan, who was himself an old fart during the Reagan years, was suggesting that his, as well as Reagan's, time was past, and they should quietly fade away. Wow, what a concept..... if one is 70-something, and suffering from mental disease, one shouldn't be the President of the US! Interesting how Norquist avoided the question of 'how many protesters' there were.

BBS, it's obvious you drool over Obama the way that Chris Matthews does. The sad thing is, no matter how awful this President performs, there will be 25% of people just like you who instead of admitting the utter failure the he is... just decide to attack those who dare criticize him.

Grover: Like yopu told me along time!! True Grassroots is almost unbeatable!!! Thats the will of the people!! Dems are worried now-this grassroots will result in checkbooks opening!!! Congratsd to the Grassroots/TeaParty Movment. Over 30 bus's from Kentucky partipated in todays Revolution!!! Congrats to the COMMONWEALTH!! David W. Caldwell Kentuckians for Tax Reform

It's obvious that you morons did not listen to the President's speech. He did not go far enough. What this country NEEDS is a SINGLE PAYER system. Similar to the ones that DO WORK, contrary tour beliefs in other Western countries.

Beavis - really? You honestly believe that? I come from a country with single-payer health (Australia). No-one in Australia think it works - just google Australia Healthcare crisis. On all polls US citizens have a FAR higher satisfaction level with their healthcare than any country with singlepayer. Rather than spouting off platitudes with no knowledge or substance, actually look at facts and data. Alternatively, read through some of the heart-wrenching cases here: http://www.nationalcenter.org/ShatteredLives.html

Umm...Tim, where do you get your "facts"? My facts say that you are wrong: http://healthcare-economist.com/2008/01/17/seven-country-health-care-survey/ The breakdown might be really helpful to you, because you look like you've bought the corporate party line hook, line, and sinker: http://www.commonwealthfund.org/~/media/Files/Surveys/2007/2007%20International%20Health%20Policy%20Survey%20in%20Seven%20Countries/Schoen_intlhltpolicysurvey2007_chartpack%20pdf.pdf
