Get Grover, Yes!

I have wanted Grover Norquist taken down for as long as I can remember. I know some out there, we won’t name names, want to take down Karl Rove and I agree. But, I really, really, want to see Grover frog-marched and in shackles. He is the BAG MAN!

As part of the College Republicans with Abramoff and Reed and their scorched earth policy toward Democrats, Liberals, democracy as a whole and the entrenchment of the Oligarchy, I have wanted this money grubbing bastard shown to the door, and preferably the door which is the entrance to a penitentiary, since I first started following his escapades and adventures to destroy the American Dream.

His most eloquent, and quotable remark is about shrinking the government to where we (meaning Republicans) “can drown it in a bathtub.” That’s right, Social Security, etc., all of the things that American’s rely on like say those terrible liberal ideas like clean drinking water, or how about a safe food supply, or even electricity for the country! These are all “Librul” programs and policies enacted and promulgated by Liberal philosophy and legislators. Grover is opposed to all of those “Librul” programs because they take tax money and wealth away from those who are the truly deserving: the Oligarchy!

And he does support the Oligarchy and their philosophy of “let them eat cake.”

That he is involved in the Republican Slush Fund Scandal with Abramoff is not a shock. What would be shocking is if he wasn’t one of the players involved.

So, that CREW is going after him, and his sham 501(c) (3), is heartening, but where is the Justice Department? Oh, yeah, I forgot, they work for the Oligarchy now!

CREW’s allegations are:

The complaint alleges that Norquist used either or both ATR and ATR Foundation as commercial enterprises by laundering money derived from Indian casino clients of former lobbyist and convicted felon Jack Abramoff. The casinos made contributions to ATR, which then skimmed a fee off the top before passing the money on to former Christian activist Ralph Reed and other anti-gambling activists. In this way, Norquist, Reed and Abramoff were able to disguise the fact that the money used to fund anti-gambling activities was generated through Indian gambling. The point of the anti-gambling campaigns was to prevent competition to the Indian casinos.

The complaint also alleges that the money ATR received from the Indian casinos constitutes taxable business income because ATR was providing services unrelated to its tax-exempt purpose: to increase public awareness about the size and regulations of government and rally support for lower taxes and smaller government. Charging a fee for serving as a pass-through for money used to finance anti-gambling campaigns bears no relation to ATR's stated tax-exempt purpose.

Go Melanie Sloan and CREW!
