“[The Obamacare defunders] hurt the conservative movement, they hurt people’s health care, they hurt the country’s economic situation and they hurt the Republican party … These are the people who said, ‘Plan: Step One, Invade Iraq. Step Two, It turns into Kansas,’ Could I ask if there’s anything in between Step One and Step Two? ‘Oh ye of little faith,’” – Grover Norquist.
Update from a reader:
Just wanted to point out that Norquist didn’t have much criticism for the Republicans during the shutdown. Here are some of his tweets:
Obama will negotiate with Iran and Russia/Syria but not Congress. Can we ask the Iranians to trade their nukes for a delay in Obamacare?

Obama overplayed his hand claming sequester stopped WH Easter Egg hunts. Now he hits WWII vets/kids parks as his hostages in debt fight.

Obama's popularity dropped to new lows 41%..This peevish response to being asked to restrain his runaway spending is not working well.

Which make his quote today all the more remarkable. (Award glossary here, for new readers.)
