The violent metaphor is so typical of simplistic thinking.

Politics is about discourse and compromise. Any politician who takes a pledge never to do something - anything - has disqualified himself for the job.

Compromise doesn't mean capitulation.

Violent metaphors such as Norquist's doesn't deserve observation.
