'60 Minutes' tonight,

about Grover Norquist was one of the most upsetting programs I have ever seen on TV. Grover had an idea, when he was 12 yrs old, working on a committee for Richard Nixon, that Repubs should be 'branded' as the party who would NEVER raise taxes. Many years later, with HUGE right wing money behind him, he got over 200 Repubs to sign a pledge, mostly in the 1990's, to honor his dream. If they failed to fall in line, they would be the victims of multi-million dollar campaigns to vote them out of office. He refuses to divulge who funds him, and he doesn't have to, since the Repub, right wing Supreme Court held that 'corporations ARE people', and have the same rights, AND politicians don't have to list their contributors. SO, Grover, who wants the gov't to return to the levels from 1900, and reach the size where he could 'drown it in a bathtub', before the days of Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, etc, has the Repubs by the balls, and he loves his power. If the country goes into the tank, so be it, Grover and his lap dogs don't care. Sickening. Just watch the program, research Grover and his pledge, with the power he holds, and see what YOU think, as the Super Committee and Congress can't reach a compromise, to save our country.
