Grover's Quislings
"Grover's Quislings" That's what the state senators and representatives who have pledged their allegiance to Grover Norquist instead of the people they've been elected to represent should be called.
Democracy for New Hampshire has identified who those people are in my state.

But there are very likely similar quislings in other states. Or, perhaps they're DeLay's minions and tied to the agenda of the heartland Institute. Since their main agenda seems to be to undermine the established governments of our communities and states, it seems fair to say that these are the new subversives--dedicated to the destruction of our democratic functions.
Of course, if we had real campaign finance reform which limits candidates for public office to accepting money from people who can actually vote for them, the influence of these subversive organizations, as well as corporate lobbyists of every stripe, would be non-existent.
