Norquist: Ryan plan is Romney's roadmap (Video)
by Paul Bedard, Washington Secrets, The Washington Examiner -- August 16, 2012
[Grover Norquist: ] "Picking Ryan as vice president outlines the future of the next four or eight years of a Romney administration," said conservative leader Grover Norquist, president of the influential Americans for Tax Reform. With the plan, he added, "You have a real sense of where Romney's going."
While Romney has put out his own economic plans, Ryan's is more detailed and has also been approved by the House and Senate Republicans, making it the more serious -- and real -- roadmap for conservatives. And, they added, by choosing Ryan, Romney was signaling that he means to implement the gist of Ryan's idea, such as block granting welfare programs, changing Medicare and saving the pension system.

Eeewwh! (sorry about that.)
Still as enthused as Grover was in that last clip -- he didn't make clear he's about to get two of his deepest wishes fulfilled,
-- wishes that the Romney-Ryan candidacy were tailored-made to fit the bill ...
Move over Rafalca!
Grover let it slip what his greatest wishes are, not that long ago ...
Guest commentary: Grover Norquist gets his wish
by Rod Franchi -- Detroit Free Press guest writer -- August 13, 2012
[Grover Norquist: ] "We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget . . . We just need a president to sign this stuff . . . Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States."
Norquist may have gotten his wish when Mitt Romney named U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate on the Republican ticket. In the coming weeks, Romney will try to run on his own budget while the Democrats try to pin him to Ryan's.

The Romney campaign, which had been short on policy specifics, just got 98 pages worth of them. Ryan's Path to Prosperity would repeal the Affordable Care Act, turn Medicare into a capped voucher system, and gut discretionary spending. All of this would allow tax rates to drop from 35% to 25% for top earners and down to 10% for everyone else. The hope is that with an unfettered market the economy can take off, though the plan cannot promise a balanced yearly budget until 2040.

Grover Norquist's
Wish List:
Wish 1) "We want the Ryan budget." Check.
Wish 2) "Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen." Check.
Grover must be rolling in horse-manure by now -- how will he ever contain his Revenue-crushing glee?
Eeewwh! Twice over. May Grover NOT get his wish -- either of them -- this time around.
Or ever.
