Democrats pounce on Norquist visit to Capitol Hill
The person who Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid calls "the most powerful man in Washington" - and who "has the entire Republican Party in the palm of his hand" - visited Capitol Hill Thursday for a briefing with House GOP members and their aides.
But even before anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist entered the ornate Ways and Means Committee hearing room to talk about tax reform on Thursday, Democrats pounced, saying his appearance proves the GOP is beholden to one man's uncompromising position against any tax increases. They also sought to highlight recent reports that Norquist may be losing some support among Republicans.
Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich, appeared in the hallway outside the GOP session to criticize Republicans for "holding royal court for the person who single-mindedly is determined to prevent a balanced approach to deficit reduction."

"The leader of Republican party is up here today, on the Hill. But you may be surprised to learn that it's not Mitt Romney, it's not John Boehner, and it's not Mitch McConnell. You know who it is. It's Grover Norquist," Reid said.
