Chamber of Commerce to Spend $50 Million to Crush Tea Party
[Chamber of
Commerce to Spend $50 Million to
Crush Tea Party by Wynton Hall ] "On
Christmas Day, the Wall Street
Journal reported that the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce says it plans to
spend at least $50 million to
"support establishment,
business-friendly candidates in
primaries and the general election,
with an aim of trying to win a
Republican Senate majority."
"Our No. 1 focus is to make sure,
when it comes to the Senate, that we
have no loser candidates," said U.S.
Chamber of Commerce top political
strategist Scott Reed. "That will be
our mantra: No fools on our ticket."
GOP establishment officials hope to
elide Tea Party challenges by
shrinking the nomination process
down to a tight four-month window
replete with penalties for states
that shirk the rules.
The WSJ reported that Republican
leaders "hope a less restive
Republican caucus will allow the
House to pass a farm bill and push
ahead on at least incremental
overhauls of the immigration
system."
The Chamber's comments are just the
latest salvo in a widening battle
between the conservative Tea Party
grassroots and the establishment
wing of the Republican Party.
Increasingly, the Tea Party's
growing power and influence has
unmoored Republican politicians from
their traditional alliance with Wall
Street in favor of grassroots
conservative activists..." Full

Response to comment [from a Jew]:
"Please note that the "U.S. Chamber
of Congress" is not part of the
government. Despite its name.
From the Wikipedia: The United
States Chamber of Commerce (USCC) is
an American lobbying group
representing the interests of many
businesses and trade associations.
It is not an agency of the United
States government."
They are
interested in having an unlimited
supply of cheap labor.
