First on CNN: Conservative group pushes to topple GOP leaders in Congress
CNN's Political Ticker ^ | February 4, 2014 | Paul Steinhauser, CNN Political Editor

A conservative group is launching a new campaign which calls on "the GOP leadership in both the House and the Senate to step aside."

ForAmerica told CNN that it's putting six figures behind its "Dump the Leadership" campaign between now and November's leadership elections.

The group says that its digital ads will target House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, as well as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Whip John Cornyn, and the group adds that the first paid spots are now up online.

"Time and again, year after year, the Republican leadership in the House and Senate has come to grassroots conservatives, and Tea Party supporters pleading for our money, our volunteers, our time, our energy and our votes,"(continued)

The Dump the Leadership effort will consist of an aggressive, six-figure social media and digital ad campaign. The campaign will also feature an online petition to activate concerned Americans and ask that they give their vote of no confidence to the GOP congressional leadership. The campaign will be ongoing through the 2014 election cycle.

If you have a coyote problem, it isn’t necessary to exterminate every coyote. that’s a lot of work after all. You just take a couple of them, skin them, turn them inside out, and hang them over your fences for all the other coyotes to see. In this way, they come to understand that crossing the fence is a bad idea and then they cease to be a problem.

The GOPe has clearly declared WAR on the Tea Party...it’s time we fought back and got rid of the RINO leadership (those Quislings within the Republican ranks) and have them replaced with TRUE conservatives. I’m tired of these Quilings having their strings pulled by their corporatist croniess and the likes of the Chamber of Commerce who will sell out America if they can make a buck in the process.

I got some mail today from a group called “Conservative Republicans of Texas” run by a Dr. Steven F. Hotze, location not apparent. They are for Dan Patrick but also Cornball and George P.!

After 6 years some of the media are starting to get a tiny inkling of a clue about what is going on.

Brent Bozell is a great American! Had lunch with him and Phyllis Schlafly at the RNC 2004 in NYC. HE was always full of huge ideas...if only the RNC actually used them instead of FIGHTING them, Bush’s 2nd term would not have been such a disaster.

Give to the individual candidate, not the GOPe money launderers.

> from the comments: The REAL TRUTH...
Gotta love it when conservative groups target conservatives members of Congress for not being conservative enough... talk about implosion. Perhaps they should be focusing on the opposition?

This idiot is too stupid to realize we are only getting rid of the numbskull RINO Republicans that are voting with the likes of the Dem Party and assisting them in pushing their progressive / liberal agendas...

“Da Bushes” are “socialist, NWO-lite”. I believe they called it “Compassionate Conservatism” if I’m not mistaken.

A war of political subterfuge comprised of deception on a never before seen level. Any political group / org / PAC that uses the words, “Conservative, Patriot, Alliance, Equality, Parents”, and even “Family” in it is immediately suspect and must be vetted first.
