Grover Norquist

Is it wrong of me to say that Grover Norquist should fall off the fiscal cliff?
It feels wrong.
Maybe it would be nicer if I hoped for Grover Norquist to have a change of heart.

He is a scourge in  American politics.
Why?  He is an idealogue without wisdom.

He won't consider 'the middle way'.
He bullies.

Of course it's noble to stand tall for what you believe in.
But, it's important to think beyond yourself once in a while and be part of the flow of life.
Life is not one dimensional
Priorities change.
Grover Norquist doesn't care.

It's fine to be a rabble rouser and I applaud his voice in the conversation.
I think he took it too far when he used emotional scare tactics to get people to follow him and pressure congress members to vote his way...or else.

His attitude is another factor in why Republicans are in such disfavor with the electorate right now.
