For those of you who still aren’t convinced that now is the time to pick ourselves up and get back in the game, I offer you the latest comments from right-wing über-activist Grover Norquist.
“Once the minority of House and Senate are comfortable in their minority status, they will have no problem socializing with the Republicans. Any farmer will tell you that certain animals run around and are unpleasant, but when they’ve been fixed, then they are happy and sedate. They are contented and cheerful. They don’t go around peeing on the furniture and such.”
So, Norquist, who believes the Estate Tax is morally equivalent to the Nazi Holocaust, calls WWII veterans “anti-American,” and believes “bipartisanship is another name for date rape,” believes we’ve all been effectively neutered. This, coming from the same man who will be working alongside Karl Rove and Tom DeLay to drive the Republican agenda in Washington for the next couple of years.
Time to show him he’s wrong.
