Tel-Chai Nation

The Daily Caller reports that the Republicans are investing more effort in Maine, which hasn't been a big success for them in the past decade, since with Obama's already disastrous term in office, the GOP could find the state winnable again.

Unfortunately, whose name do I see here?

Things are beginning to look up, though. Less than two months ago, Americans for Prosperity launched a Maine Chapter, which is devoted to recruiting and training activists in favor of economic growth. Just last month, Marco Rubio, staunch conservative and Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate from Florida, paid a visit to the Maine Heritage Policy Center. Additionally, talk radio host Howie Carr spent a day with conservative Maine congressional candidates Jason Levesque and Dean Scontras—both recently endorsed by Mitt Romney, news that made National Review. Conservative Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund and free market strategist Grover Norquist also have visited Maine in the past year.

Wow, that really took away much of the impact. Norquist, the businessman who's been an apologist for jihad and supports open borders for the USA, is among them? Even after he started getting involved with more dismaying "causes"? And what's really sad is if the GOP's more reliable members make no effort to have him distanced from the party.

Pamela Geller wrote about him on Big Peace last month, and I'm glad to learn someone's let the audience for Breitbart know who he really is. However, I don't see why she risked letting Bush off the hook:

Bush described Islam as “a religion of peace” in the wake of the Islamic jihadi attack on America. It wasn’t that Bush was a shill for jihad; it was just that he was uninformed, and worse, not curious. He had whispering in his ear the stealth jihadist Grover Norquist and his band of Muslim Brotherhood brothers propagandizing the nonsensical meme that it was “just a few fringe extremists” who “hijacked” the religion — as well as the planes. Ten years and 15,511 Islamic attacks catastrophically demonstrate what a turning point that window of opportunity really was.

Dubya was just "uninformed"? I must disagree here. He was involved with the Saudi king, disturbingly holding hands with him, and there were other very tasteless things he worked on as well, and we're supposed to think he was just uninformed? I'm sorry, but that's really risking letting Bush get away with some of his own errors. He could've avoided Norquist if he wanted to, yet he didn't. And that foolishness may have ended up costing America a lot even before Obama came into office.
