I'm starting to think all Sarah needs to do is give a quiet whistle.
Maybe the CoC will then admit political reality.

If U.S. Chamber of Commerce strategist Scott Reed really wants “no loser candidates” and “no fools on our ticket,” as he told the Wall Street Journal last week, then he might want to start by banishing himself from any involvement with the 2014 elections. It takes a truly foolish Republican consultant to declare war on the party’s most energized troops — the same foolish politico who once advised Republicans to work in favor of gun control and who ran the incompetent 1996 presidential campaign of Bob Dole.
If Reed wants “no loser candidates,” presumably he will be working to rid his party not just of right-wing candidates such as Sharron Angle but also of aimless moderates such as Denny Rehberg, Rick Berg, Heather Wilson, and Tommy Thompson — 2012 Senate losers in, respectively, Montana, North Dakota, New Mexico, and Wisconsin. If Reed and the Chamber want to elect business-friendly, market-oriented congressmen, they will put aside issues that divide the Right, such as immigration “reform,” and focus only on issues that unite not just all those who lean right but even a big chunk of the vast, ideologically nonaligned “center” as well — issues such as Obamacare.

From both directions, though, the Right’s internecine warfare is horribly counterproductive, and wiser heads should try to find ground on which to unite. Importantly, the need to unify does not mean for the establishment to “co-opt” the Tea Party, despite the supercilious aims of Reed (again) as stated in a 2011 New York Times Magazine article: “That’s the secret to politics: trying to control a segment of people without those people recognizing that you’re trying to control them.”

Bump
The main diff between RINOs like Scott Reed and a stinking pile of steamy Obamastuff?
The flies are willing to land on the Obamastuff.
No RINO/GOPe tools on my ticket.
"no fools on our ticket"
No RINO/GOPe tools on my ticket.
Yeah no more "fools", Chamber of Amnesty... what we need is more squishy candidates who know how to win elections- like former President John McCain, President Mitt Romney, WI Senator Tommie Thompson, Senator Rehberg, and our newest GOP-e addition, MA Senator Gabriel Gomez...
Go Rove GO! No really, just go.
I used to think COC helped US businesses and folks like us...
sucks.

This reminds me of those traitorous double agents Steve Schmidt and his whore who sabotaged Sarah Palin. How the hell did the GOP get so far off track and jump in bed with these snakes!?
“Chamber of Amnesty”
Excellent! Beat them over the head with it at every turn.
If they mean the Todd Akins and the Richard Mourdocks and some of the other fools on our tickets I agree and wish them well up to a certain extent. But, regardless of that those losers did they did not endorse amnesty to bring 50 million Dem’’s into the political process that is the biggest loser act I have ever see. It enough to make me want to raise taxes on all of those establishment Republicans and keep them up until the border is secure and we have a fair shake from the corporate media.
How can RAT voters be made to understand amnestied illegals will also be taking THEIR jobs away from them?
He sponsors a pro-Amnesty PAC called “Americans for a Conservative Direction.”
Did I mention that Zuckerberg also sponsored fund raising events for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012?
They both won their primaries fair and square, and they had good messaging. So what if they didn't speak Beltwaynese and talked in language that the Left and establishment right mocked and contributed to their defeats? Far better than the nonsense that Reid or any other Democrat says daily.
