As we first reported last fall, Grover Norquist, through the pledge, controls 279 votes, including both the speaker of the House, and the Senate minority leader. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have signed it. And in the coming campaign, you can be sure that Grover Norquist won't let them forget it.

GROVER NORQUIST IS NOT a Patriotic American.
NO TURNING AROUND THE USA UNTIL THIS LOW LIFE IS GONE!
