NJ What if the Democrats still have control? What’s your scenario then?

NORQUIST Obama can sit there and let all the tax cuts]lapse, and then the Republicans will have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach. The last year, he’s gone into this huddle where he does everything by executive order. He’s made no effort to work with Congress.

NJ The Republicans seem more divided over tax policy than in the past. The House Republicans didn’t want to pass the payroll-tax holiday bill, even though that was a tax cut. Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania proposed revenue increases as a super-committee member. Do you think the party is in disarray over its take on taxes?

NORQUIST Those are different things. Toomey is deciding on which unicorn he’d like if unicorns existed, and you’re asking me if I’m unhappy about his choice of a pet? There aren’t any unicorns. The Democrats are not going to make permanent what they said was their nonnegotiable plan for a 25 percent corporate and individual tax rate. The Democratic Party cannot physiologically do that.

NJ So you don’t get mad when Republicans propose tax increases if you feel they won’t come to fruition?

1. If Shrub didn't cause a major revolution

no one will ,they won't have the money or the freedom. Impeachment should have been on the table , Nancy became part of the problem that very second.

2. I think Norquist, I sigh for tar and feathers.

[gristy]

3. Predicts rebellion? Well, of course he does.

That's his job.

[think]

4. Grover: persona non grata /nt

[Justice wanted]

5. Yeah. This guy is an ass and the Rebellion is going to be based on Racism. It is sick that people

listen to this guy. Who the freak is he. I mean I know who he is I just can't believe he has this much freakin power.

9. Thank Jane Hamsher

for helping him.

6. Since Nortwisted holds their proxy votes

Obama should deal directly with him, publicly, going over the heads of repugnants in congress and show the stupid 2010 voters once and for all who the unelected boss of the repugnants really is. Couldn't we save some money from the budget by laying off the useless congressmen who have signed their votes away to Nortwisted?

7. I guess in his eyes letting a tax cut for the rich......

expire is an impeachable offense.

8. Obama's "made no effort to work with Congress" ...

aside from all the capitulation he's done, bowing to their pressure much of the time ...

Of course, that's a FACT, something which eludes most Republican talking points and nearly all TEA baggers' arguments ...

10. Norquist needs to be tried for sedition.

making a sitting congress critter take an oath against the levying of taxes, as per their fucking JOB, defies their congressional mandate.

I have many other festive and interesting things I'd pay to see happen to Grover, but the TOS here prevents me from sharing my vivid and horrifically hilarious fantasies.

11. If we tolerated the evil empire of Bush/Cheney for 8 f'king years...

the teabaggers can handle 4 more years of one of the best Presidents this country has ever had.

[YvonneCa]

17. Absolutely. And I'd add that there was pretty much...

...a 'rebellion' after the 2004 election, but the media chose not to cover it. What worries me is that they probably WOULD cover this one.

[Bucky]

12. What a maroon. What planet is he living on?

There go your Republicans "putting country first" once again.

[Major Hogwash]

13. Norquist is yesterday's news. The 99% voted him off the island last year.

Where did he come from that he thinks that the Republican party will all stand at attention and click the heels of their boots together to follow his orders, anyway?

[bigdarryl]

14. They won't have enough votes to even say impeach after November there loosing the House

[Tx4obama]

15. Norquist is an idiot. It is The House that 'impeaches' not The Senate - LOL :)

The Senate holds the trial.

[Bolo Boffin]

16. Norquist has lost his damn mind. n/t
