bloviate do so because bloviation is nothing but opinions.
Something you are quite full of. It wont be long until the stress reaches critical mass and you, well, you lose &#039;it&#039;.


Now, go back to your sandbox and think about it. Spoiled Child.</description>

		<description>Grover Norquist: Conservative Exposed as Terrorist Sympathizer/Enabler

There&#039;s an incredible story brewing in Washington that is too hot for the networks to touch.

Grover Norquist, whom most conservatives know as Executive Director of the College Republicans, boardmember of the NRA, and head of Americans for Tax Reform, has been exposed as helping Muslim groups and individuals who finance and support Islamic terrorism gain access to the Bush White House.

Norquist has also been exposed as the founder of the Islamic Insitute, a group believed to be funded by foreign governments, Wahhab Islam elements in Saudi Arabia, and U.S. Muslim groups recently raided by a special Treasury Department task force for funding Al Qaeda and Palestinian terrorists</description>

		<description>And the Neo-kook plan Backfires;

When Santorum became conference chairman, he reportedly took over operation of the senatorial side of the K Street Project, which was initiated by Abramoff associates DeLay and neo-conservative Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.

Named after the street on which many of Washingtonâ€™s most influential lobbying firms are located, the K Street Project was meant to extend the GOPâ€™s political domination beyond the White House and Congress to include industry â€” and exclude Democrats.

As former Washington Monthly editor Nicholas Confessore reported in July 2003, Santorum met every Tuesday with a dozen or more prominent lobbyists. The goal was to find high-level, well-paying corporate and trade-association jobs for former Republican congressional staffers and other GOP allies.

â€œ(T)he GOP has made a determined effort to undermine the bipartisan complexion of K Street,â€ wrote Confessore, now a reporter for The New York Times. â€œEvery week, the lobbyists present pass around a list of the jobs available and discuss whom to support. Santorumâ€™s responsibility is to make sure each one is filled by a loyal Republican â€” a senatorâ€™s chief of staff, for instance, or a top White House aide, or another lobbyist whose reliability has been demonstrated. After Santorum settles on a candidate, the lobbyists present make sure it is known whom the Republican leadership favors.â€

Reaching for power

DeLay and Norquist initiated K Street after the GOP gained control of Congress in 1994. Defenders of the strategy have likened it to the methods used by Democrats when they ruled in Washington.

But others, like Elizabeth Drew, an author and contributor to the New York Book Review who has investigated the K Street Project, see it as something fundamentally different: a grab for total control.

â€œThe Republican purge of K Street is a more thorough, ruthless, vindictive, and effective attack on Democratic lobbyists and other Democrats who represent businesses and other organizations than anything Washington has seen before,â€ she wrote in the Review, shortly after the Abramoff investigation became public. â€œ... The K Street Project has become critical to the Republicansâ€™ efforts to control all the power centers in Washington: the White House, Congress, the court â€” and now, at least, an influential part of the corporate world, the one that raises most of the political money. ... DeLay, Santorum, and their associates organized a systematic campaign, closely monitored by Republicans on Capitol Hill and by Grover Norquist and the Republican National Committee, to put pressure on firms not just to hire Republicans but also to fire Democrats.â€</description>
