A problem with our current political system in Washington DC is not just lobbyists - but lobbyists who consider themselves above everyone else. As a republic, we rely on politicians to put the nation above themselves and serve their communities. Instead, we have lobbyists running the country. The biggest lobbyist is Grover Norquist - a man who requires Republicans to sign a pledge.
The only pledge any politician should sign is one stating they will uphold the US Constitution. Otherwise, it's treason.
In fact, Grover Norquist insists he wants government to be small enough to drown in a bath tub - and that statement isn't seen as treason. Is he not openly stating a position that the US government is bad and needs to be destroyed?
It's strange that no one has challenged him legally. But now the man wants to
impeach President Obama if the Bush Tax Cuts expire.
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.
Nice spin but false. The Republicans have consistently stated that they will not work with the President. More important, our current President has made less recess appointments than Presidents over the last 3 decades. Oops. So much for facts.
