US Chamber of Commerce Plans To Buy More Establishment GOP Seats

Forget for a moment about facing off against the liberal juggernaut which continues to rip apart the fabric of American culture and the principles upon which the nation was founded. Grassroots conservatives have another mountain to scale, right in our own backyard. A Yahoo News item via The Center for Public Integrity claims the U.S. Chamber of Congress’s new political strategy “will include a greater emphasis on recruiting the right sort of business-friendly GOP candidates, intervening in primaries as it attempts to sculpt a compliant Congress that mirrors its priorities.”

In other words, the Chamber is planning to throw even more weight behind establishment Republican candidates through continuous fundraising efforts. Open borders? Check. Pro-big business? Check. The Chamber has decided to mold the GOP into a machine which suits its own interests, at the expense of the small government, Reagan coalition. It is doubling down to acquire the best big business-friendly political party money can buy.

Thomas Donohue, 76, the Chamber’s longtime president and CEO, announced during a Feb. 19 conference call, that they were going to fundraise “cycle after cycle,” instead of taking breaks on off-election years.

I personally don’t think a Chamber boycott would be out of line.

Here’s a link to the local Chambers: https://www.uschamber.com/members/chambers/chamber-commerce-committee-100/chamber-commerce-committee-100-members

Notably, they don’t list the 70 members of their public affairs committee that oversees their involvement in elections: https://www.uschamber.com/public-affairs-committee-0

The CoC is busy buying safe GOP House seats in deep red areas like Florida. A huge chunk of Boehner’s support come from these careerist beltway pigs feeding at the K Street trough.

We took out their Speaker-to-be, Eric Cantor. And they are pissed! They want to ensure that NEVER happens again.

They remember that we took out Arlen Specter, Bob Bennett, and Richard Lugar, almost took out Lisa Murkowski and denied both Mike Castle and Charlie Crist Senate seats.

We also forced incumbent after incumbent to have to fight hard only to barely win their primaries (Graham 55%, Cochran 50%, Alexander 48%, Roberts 47%).

They are out to crush us.

Face it folks these people are more of an threat to our country than the socialists. At least the socialists are honest about they’re intentions. We need to expose them and call them out everywhere!

So, should we take over the USCOC? Or start an “Honest Chamber of Commerce” to represent America’s interests?

Chamber of Commerce, clearly worse than Al Queda. They may as well merge with Aztlán movement because “open borders” is their raison d’etre. They’re evil I tell you, EEEEEEVIL.

How About AMERICAN COC? altho United States doesn’t seem to mean anything to them, so I doubt American would either. They’ll move on when they crash the U.S.

Well, I hate to think a herd (gaggle?) of RINOs can CLAIM to know what’s good for American business with no push-back.
