Why hasn't McCain subpoenaed Norquist?
Well, I know the answer, but I think it's time to talk up Norquist's role in the Action Jack Abramoff scandal. Let's subject his Americans for Tax Reform to the RICO laws.

"The Birmingham News: "The Boston Globe disclosed Friday that the anti-tax group Americans for Tax Reform sent $1.15 million from an Indian tribe that runs a casino in Mississippi to two groups that oppose gambling in Alabama. In 2000, the Christian Coalition of Alabama received $850,000 and the Citizens Against Legalized Lottery got $300,000, according to ATR's Grover Norquist. "

1. Which committee would that be?--I know he initially took testimony
a while back about lobbyist activity but not sure which it is.

2. Link both to money from terrorist financiers and $audi bankers
Since 1998, Norquist and Abramoff have been developing the Islamic-GOP $$$$ connection from which McCain and other Repug Congressional overseers have benefited.

4. Norquist is even higher in the food chain
getting him to talk will really open the can of worms.
