Grover Norquist’s Sabotage

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, were recently sharply criticized over their commitment to reverse massive budget cuts Team Obama is making at the expense of our military capabilities and national security. What made this attack notable – and potentially very damaging  to the GOP standard bearers – is that it came, not from the Democrats, but from a prominent Republican political operative, Grover Norquist.  It is hard to see how his contention that Messrs. Romney and Ryan can’t be trusted to spend wisely on defense will help anybody but their opponents. Grover Norquist has no expertise on national security and his judgment on such matters is deeply flawed.  If Republicans lose this fall, Norquist’s undermining of the GOP ticket on a critical issue may be partly why.
