They are a premier fiscal conservative group that has nothing to do with pushing shamesty. They were big backers of Chris McDaniel.
Agreed. Club for Growth concentrates exclusively on fiscal issues (which they are indeed the most reliable organization) and most of their endorsements are pretty solid (there are some exceptions like Jeff Flake). In any case, even the "bad" endorsements are still good on fiscal issues.
I found it amusing that people loved to slam Huckabee around as a "socialist" in 2008 because of his weak scores from Club for Growth, but then in 2012, when Rick Santorum got a much BETTER Club for Growth score card than Newt Gingrich, the Newt crowd here ignored it and insisted that Santorum was the "fiscally liberal" candidate and their guy Newt was the only "principled small government Reagan conservative" when HE was the one on record supporting the bank bailouts and porkulus. But hey, who cares about facts? ;-)
So I'd consider a Club for Growth endorsement to be a positive and I don't think the organizations is in any way pro-amnesty (although a handful of their candidates are). On the other hand, Marilinda Garcia's being on the board of "Americans by Choice" is very problematic, IMO.
Okay, thanks for the info.
