EJ Dionne talks about what some prominent neocons have said about the Democratic party right after the 2004 election. These people have some cojones talking like this with a 51% win for the president. Wonder why they are in such trouble now??
Grover Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform and a leading figure in both the DeLay and Bush political operations, chose more colorful post-election language to describe the future. "Once the minority of House and Senate are comfortable in their minority status, they will have no problem socializing with the Republicans," he told Richard Leiby of The Post. "Any farmer will tell you that certain animals run around and are unpleasant. But when they've been 'fixed,' then they are happy and sedate. They are contented and cheerful."

Tom DeLay also had lots to say after the election:
DeLay himself drew the line sharply the day after the 2004 elections. "The Republican Party is a permanent majority for the future of this country," DeLay declared. "We're going to be able to lead this country in the direction we've been dreaming of for years."
So, are we going to allow them to neuter us - or are we going to continue to stand up against the American Taliban??
