because boehner can t cut a deal. i think in five minutes time he and obama would come up excuse me, excuse me, you re wrong. you re wrong. all that grover has to say, all he has to say is, we re in a particular fiscal crunch right now, and we ve got to make allowances for that. if he did that, a lot would change. grover only counts because these tea party guys, the 50, 60, 70 in the house, they have a theological opposition to any let s go all they re worried about is being primaried from the right i know let s talk about the caucus you used to work with and know. very well. aren t there a lot of people over there if grover came out and said these are peculiar times, we have to make a couple adjustments. members of congress should not have to negotiate with grover norquist. but i m asking you an open question. would that have any influence? it could but it would for grover he s an activist. he s someone he has his ideals, and if he compromises on tha

there has to be a majority of the republicans in the house and then a majority of the house. he wants to get that first majority is that a reasonable demand that he has to deliver? i ve seen politicians, you and i know this over the years, they have bucked the majority in their own caucus, and they have gotten through deals that way. one party says we ll kick in 100 votes, the other party says we can do 120, it s easier for us and they get stuff done that way. now they re saying, no, i have to get my majority before we get your minority or whatever. he s got he lost 11 of the tea party guys, but he s got then 70 guys who didn t go to congress to limit government, they came there to stop it. so how do you deal with guys who came to stop government or grover wandering the earth in his white robe saying you want to drown government in the bathtub. i hope he slips in there with it. well, i can t i m with you on the full metaphor there. the full metaphor. thank you, senator alan s
