Republicans Are Infuriated By Heritage Action's Move on Trade
National Journal ^ | Lauren Fox

Posted on 06/11/2015 10:26:30 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

As Republican leaders wrestle Democratic and conservative factions to pass a trade bill Friday, a handful of Republicans are turning on one of their most trusted policy leaders in Washington: Heritage Action.

The campaign arm of the conservative Heritage Foundation alerted members Wednesday night it that as it stands now, it would score against the Trade Promotion Authority, a bill that gives Congress an up-or-down vote on future trade deals the president negotiates. The legislation is a major priority for President Obama as well as Republican leaders.

Ditto. It’s good to see Integrity reign amidst the flood of money apparently flowing from lobbyists on this vote. There remain a few islands of non-corruption...so there’s still hope.

Fortunately, we now have something better than these “SPINELESS WHORES” protecting us. I’m talking about the heritage foundation. Since these Washington politicians are so hell bent in selling us to the highest bidder, we have to really decide what we will do in the 2016 elections. Do we keep these “SPINELESS WHORES” in power, or do we throw all of them out?

Conservatives are almost always Republican. My sheriff is the exception that proves the rule.

Republicans are not necessarily conservative. Their reaction to Heritage’s announcement proves this.

They want the CoC money. They want the power they think they’ll have when a pubbie is in the WHite House. Why they think they will ever have that spot again pulling this sh1t is beyond me.

On an issue with partisan divide, you can at least be sure that about half of the political class is right.

Unfortunately, on any issue you can think of with "broad bi-partisan support" the result is all of the morons in DC are mistaken.

It's good to see that Heritage is as solid as ever.

NumbersUSA also announced today (well, actually yesterday - Thursday) that they will be scoring AGAINST a vote for TPA. That will help add some motivation to the cowardly Congresscritters to vote against this piece of a Statist’s dream for legislation.

Tactics? Citizens are now “outside groups?” We are sick to death of this backdoor, super-secret BS.
If it’s so dam good for us, why not let us in on it. You can’t, because we’ve caught onto the agenda.

May God bless Jeff Sessions and keep him safe. Prayers up for this brave patriot.

And it is tax deductible.

” Do we keep these “SPINELESS WHORES” in power, or do we throw all of them out?”...........

“So many, so little time”, where the hell do we start?

This comes down to Demint. There was some uproar that he took over Heritage because the status quo was worried Heritage would shift against ‘free trade’. Heritage supported NAFTA in the past.

I'm sure they will support TPP when a GOP wins the Prez.
