If I’m not mistaken, the Club for Growth has always been soft on illegal immigration. They’re one of those groups who repackages their own special agenda as conservative orthodoxy. Good for Barbour for standing up to them.

Yea, some other posters don't like CFG either. However, Haley (and Rove) are casting a broad brush here. It's not just CFG they are going to war with.

“We ought to talk to Republican donors now, in the off-season before the primaries, and discourage them from donating to organizations that will attack good(?!) Republicans (i.e. he means the likes of Crist, Lugar, Castle ...).

This is pure GOPe. He and Rove have a big problem with any non-GOPe conservative group.

I remember a few years back a reporter asking Hally if he would run for president....His response was, when you see me lose weight, I am in the running......he has lost weight this past couple of years. He use to be a rock solid conservation, but don't know what he is now, my niece lives in Biloxi and she loved how he handled things compared to how Louisiana handled theirs's. And Mississippi got hardly and press, cause Republican

They are libertarian capitalist. They are like CATO. Open borders and free trade. National sovereignty is way down their list. Agree somewhat with Club for Growth and CATO Institute but they have large shortcomings
