Grover Norquist goes off on Obamacare “defunders”

[DonViejo]

"I think if you make a mistake as big as what they did, you owe your fellow senators and congressmen a big apology"

BY ELIAS ISQUITH

In an interview with National Review, Grover Norquist continued his long-running (and thinly veiled) campaign against Ted Cruz, telling the magazine, that Cruz and company owe their fellow legislators — as well as their constituents — “a big apology.”

“I think if you make a mistake as big as what they did,” Norquist said, “you owe your fellow senators and congressmen a big apology — and your constituents, as well, because nothing they did advanced the cause of repealing or dismantling Obamacare.”

“They hurt the conservative movement,” Norquist continued, “they hurt people’s health care, they hurt the country’s economic situation and they hurt the Republican party. And a lot of congressmen and senators are not going to win because we spent three months chasing our own tail — or at least, parts of the conservative movement spent three months chasing their own tail.”

Norquist went on to compare the Obamacare “defunders” to those who promoted the recent war in Iraq, claiming that both groups never had a real strategy to achieve their respective goals.

9. I couldn't have found a more appropriate video ...

... of how I feel right now if you'd given me a million years.

And I'm not even a Democrat.

But seeing the reactionary right-wing in full cannibal mode is, well ... "oh boy, is this great!"

These nitwits never learn anything from their previous defeats.

The audacity! Actually believing Grover's claptrap and attempting to put his infantile prattle into practice!

4. They didn't succeed in drowning it, so he's disowning them.

5. “They hurt the conservative movement,” No, Grover, they showed the natural conclusion

of the batshit insane conservative policies.

8. Delicious.

Like eating a piece of the world's finest chocolate. Like diving into a clear pool on a sweltering day. Like inhaling the scent of the inside of a new car. Like seeing a baby smile for the first time. Like...

Do you think I'm enjoying his wrath and anguish just a little too much?
