From the SF Chronicle during the 2000 campaign:

"I hate the gooks," McCain said yesterday in response to a question from reporters aboard his campaign bus. "I will hate them as long as I live."

Grover Nordquist is an idiot with too much time on his hands. He hates taxes but loves those tax cuts he gets. Fucking hypocrite. Don't you love rich elitists disguised as people lovers and freedom fighters? Hey Grover, reform taxes by rejecting those tax cuts you idiot! A flat sales tax is the way to go!

How ironic. "Who the hell are these people who determine how the rest of us are to live?" Those people are the representatives you, the American public, consistently vote for that pass law after law and tax after tax. Norquist is one of those few people genuinely trying to limit gov't and cut taxes and not just in word but in deed. Vote for a progressive or a neocon if you want the state to dictate your life. Thanks for comin' out.

He is the reason we are in such dire straits. Right wingers like Nordquist hate the Federal goverment ad all its programs especially SSI. They play this game, they cut taxes for the rich and big corporations and then create huge deficits. Then when the Democrats get in office, they either have to cut these vital programs or raise taxes. Either way it looks bad.

But guys like Nordquist cheered on this administration and now they don't want to admit this was all their fault.

grover norquist - where's your bathtub-bound govt now, huh? Nationalizing the entire economy - that's where - you f**ing right-wing clown.

I'm laughing my head off at you republican elites - now you're gonna eat a massive amount of toily runoff. Get ready for the next Roosevelt, right - wing. The country will never trust a repub to run the economy for several decades. - IDIOTS.

[GiveItOrLoseIt]

All the comments that attack grover as racist only prove what idiots they are and blind for following countdown.

Now this is to mmm413. YOU ARE A DUMBASS. Your comment proves how stupid you are. You worship keiths bullshit. Grover norquist does NOT want to tell you how to live. He is pushing to have government OUT of POEPLEs LIVES, and Pockets. liberals don't want that cause without money their are no liberals and wastefull government spending. He has earned the right to have input on taxesREAD

I can't even believe this was even NEWS! OMG!! Tan is a "CODE WORD"? FTW!!! They are attacking him for using TAN to discern obama to kerry. XD What should he say? obama is the same as kerry only more good looking. Oh, what about more big nosed, or one has a mole on his nose. C'mon the only difference physically is that one is white and the other is black.... Does pointing that out make anybody a racist? keith is like o'rielly, a tool for the left instead of the right.

[GiveItOrLoseIt]

This is the most STUPID thing i HAVE EVER!!!! EVER SEEN. Even worse than FOX NEWS! I laughed so hard when ryan TRYIED to make this like some kind of big deal and racial ("it puts it out there") XD. I think he understood this was ridiculous. This is just more liberal brainwashing but far worse or maybe even with FOX brainwashing. I have not ONCE ever since thought about barack obama and race being an issue. I don't think of him as being black. I doesn't matter. but liberals want to push it? WHY?

[DoctorMurky]

What's ironic is that Grover Norquist's comment was anti-racist. It was directed at the people who think that having a different skin color makes someone different - racists! He was just pointing out that skin color is irrelevant, that Obama and John Kerry are equal despite the fact that one has darker skin. And saying that white liberals and black liberals are equal is is the same as saying that whites and blacks are equal, which can't be interpreted as a racist comment by any honest person.

Norquist is just another GOP attack dog, and he

is also a little self-important twerp.

[obnostic]

Norquist idolizes Nixon, and wants government to be small enough to be dragged to a bathtub and drowned. What else do you need to know?
