Club for Growth blasts Trump
Washington Times ^ | April 18, 2011 | Seth McLaughlin

Posted on 04/18/2011 8:31:42 AM PDT by Clairity

The Club for Growth, an influential anti-spending group, is warning its followers that potential presidential candidate Donald Trump is a wolf in sheep's clothing - calling him just another "tax-hiking liberal" and a "king of protectionism" who doesn't deserve conservative support in the next election.

Mr. Trump has flirted with a presidential bid for several weeks, leveling stiff criticism of the Obama administration and riding doubts about the president's birth certificate, reviving the so-called "birther" controversy that many have considered a dead issue.

Trump's speech to the Tea Party(LA Times article, not actual speech, couldn't find transcript):

"Trump pledged that if he were president, he would not raise taxes, that he'd create "vast numbers of productive jobs" and "get rid of Obamacare, which is a total disaster."

"The United States has become the laughing stock and the whipping post for the rest of the world, whether we like it or not, and we don't like it, the world is laughing at us. They're laughing at our leaders, they're taking advantage of us, and it's a disgrace," he said."

Trump.

CFG is very pro-free-trade, which I generally used to be, but the last couple of years has made me think about it a bit more.

Free trade is fine when it’s also fair, but it must not consist of one-sided deals like we have now.

Didn’t the CFG back Romney in 2008?

They are right about Trump, however.

Trump = NYCity liberal running around lying through his teeth looking for lemmings.

Was this RomneyBOT one of the backstabbers for Romney
in 2008 against Gov. Palin, as he is now for Chihuahua Romney?

Fmr. Rep. Chris Chocola (R-IN), July 2, 2008
“Chocola thinks his first choice, Mitt Romney,
would still make a good vice president.
“As a fellow CEO, he thinks Romney
could help manage what he calls "the largest organization on earth."

We’re against Romney because he’s a northeastern liberal elite who’s flipped on nearly every major issue for political expediency prior to a run for the White House, right?

See where I’m going with this?

Trump = Ross Perot

(minus Perot's humility).

The Magic RINO:

Milt for Obama: "Obama was born in the United States"

Milt for Obama, again : "Obama Doesn’t Need a Birth Certificate"

Milt stands for Obama: "The citizenship test has been passed"

Sadly, back in 08 Sen Jim Demint endorsed Roomney too.

Not only does Toomey have a moderate streak that runs through his politics. He’s also part of the GOP’s Beltway insiders club.

“trump will not get serious because he has to disclose his finances. trump is too much of a showman to do that.”

He has said on several occasions he will disclose his finances and everybody (to include you) will be shocked.

Where have you been?

You go Donald.

By the way, longtermmemmory, You’re fired.

So that’s it. He threw a bone to the birthers and all is forgiven.
