12. Readin the stories linked in the yahoo piece,
Wolf is one of only SIX House Republicans who refused to sign Norquist's pledge.

So, that's also something for which Wolf merits a prop or two.

Then, there's this:

"I also believe that Mr. Norquist has used the ATR pledge as leverage to advance many other issues that many Americans would find inappropriate, and when taken as a whole should give people pause."

IIRC, that was the pledge that said slaves had better families than gay people, or something to that effect.

I believe in positive reinforcement where warranted. I would send Wolf an email saying that I disagree with him (Wolf) on a number of things, but I am pleased to support his stance on Norquist and the abominable pledge.

If I lived in his district, I would do that. But, maybe that's just me.

He cosponsored (or supported) some decent environmental legislation a few years ago I think...I'd have to look around for it, but he's not that bad...i have two things I like he has done.

8. Indeed,Sir
"Weekly Standard editor Matthew Continetti wrote in his book, The K Street Gang, that “between 1995 and 2002 the Mississippi Choctaw donated about $1.5 million to Americans for Tax Reform.” Mr. Abramoff also instructed his other clients to make regular donations to ATR, according to Continetti’s book. However, the cumulative amount is unknown because Mr. Norquist refuses to identify ATR’s clients, Continetti states.

"According to Continetti, during the same period, Mr. Norquist was intimately involved with the questionable activities surrounding other Abramoff clients, including the Marianas Islands, which is prominently featured in the documentary Casino Jack. As one participant in Mr. Norquist’s Wednesday Group meetings – a weekly gathering of Mr. Norquist’s invited guests – noted, following Mr. Norquist’s collaboration with Mr. Abramoff, “All of a sudden the Marianas shows up as one of number-one priority issues,” Continetti writes.

According to Senate lobbying disclosure records of his now defunct lobbying firm, Janus-Merritt Strategies, around the years 2000 and 2001 Mr. Norquist’s firm represented Abdurahman Alamoudi, who was convicted two years later for his role in a terrorist plot and who is presently serving a 23-year sentence in federal prison.

"It is important to point out that Alamoudi’s ties to terrorist groups were no secret prior to his arrest.

"In addition to Alamoudi’s outspoken support for Hamas and Hezbollah, he expressed private support for the 1994 terrorist attack against a synagogue in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which killed 85 people and injured hundreds, according to a December 17, 2003, article in The American Spectator by Shawn Macomber, who reported: “In a wiretapped conversation made public in the recent criminal complaint, he (Alamoudi) praises a 1994 bombing in Buenos Aires. ‘The Jewish Community Center. It is a worthy operation,’ Alamoudi tells an unidentified man, in Arabic. ‘I think that the attacks that are being executed by bin Laden and other Islamic groups are wrong, especially hitting the civilian targets. Many African Muslims have died and not a single American has died. I prefer to hit a Zionist target in America or Europe…I prefer honestly like what happened in Argentina.'

"Mr. Norquist also associated with terror financier Sami Al-Arian, according to Mary Jacoby’s reporting in March 2003, in the St. Petersburg Times. Al-Arian pled guilty in 2006 “to a charge of conspiring to provide services to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a specially designated terrorist organization, in violation of U.S. law,” and is under house arrests, according to a Department of Justice press release. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s “paramilitary wing – the al-Quds Brigades – has conducted numerous attacks, including large-scale suicide bombings,” according to the National Counterterrorism Center,

Al-Arian’s relationship with Mr. Norquist appears to have spanned several years. Prior to his arrest in February 2003, Sami Al-Arian visited Norquist’s office in Washington for a meeting, also reported in the June 11, 2003, article in the Wall Street Journal. According to Continetti, Mr. Al-Arian also “cc’d Norquist on an e-mail he sent to the Wall Street Journal protesting an editorial that had pointed out his terrorist connections.”

19. It is disgusting for Republicons to take Payola from America's sworn enemies
Edited on Wed Oct-05-11 12:29 PM by SpiralHawk
The Republicons make a big stinking phony show about Iran being part of an 'EVIL EMPIRE' and the whole time the occult Republicon propaganda bagmen are pocketing bushels of ill-gotten 'Family Values' loot which they then use to produce more Republicon propaganda against America.

Sucks up the wazoo. Traitorous Republicon bastards in bed with Iran -- Republicon Drug lord Ollie North (R) who gave the "Evil" Iranian Ayatollah our U.S. Hawk Missiles, must be just loving this.

Republicon traitors of a feather are flocking together.

20. Poor Grover.
All that hard work recruiting Muslim Americans into the repuke fold, only to have it all go down the drain after Nineleven(TM) when his repuke buddies started behaving like the bigoted assholes they are.
