Grover Norquist: This Time, Gov't Shutdown Will Help The GOP

[Swede]

Grover Norquist wants to party like it's 1995. The Americans for Tax Reform chief and noted Ronald Reagan fan says that Republicans would really do themselves a favor by forcing another government shutdown like they did the last time they took over the House when a Democratic president was in office.

Speaking to Politico, Norquist said that if the Republicans shut down the government over spending concerns this time around, it'll be a lot different than when they did it in 1995. The shutdowns that year are generally seen as a victory for then-President Clinton, who used the images of shuttered Social Security offices and other government agencies to paint the GOP as fanatical.

2. They are delusional. If social security is late one day they will be

blamed and the old f--kers who voted them in will be jumping all over them. And us old f--kers who did not vote them in will be helping.

3. And if Americans are dumb enough to fall for these R tactics, then I think

there is little hope left for Americans. And the tea baggers will cheer while they are being thrown off the bridge. Some Americans are just beyond help IMO, and they take the rest of us done with them.

Sadly, there is a lot of truth in this article IMO. Americans are so gullible. Many would just blame whoever Fox News told them to blame.
