“Kochs: bad, Thomas Sowell: bad, Steve Deace: bad, Red State: bad; They guy who gave 250,000 to the Clinton Foundation: good.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Here is your conservative movement!”

Don’t forget that life-long Republicans are “RINOs” while a guy registered demonrat as recently as 4 years ago is the face of the “conservative” movement.

So now Club for Growth is a “fiscal conservative advocacy group”?

ROFLMAO

Last time I had any reason to deal with that bunch was during Grad School in the early 70’s, and then they were all about “Zero Population Growth” and you-are-all-going-to-die-if-you-don’t-bow-to-our-superior-wisdom (and nifty cool computer models).

Sheesh.

Dress a piglet in a ball gown, paint the toenails, frizz the hair, call it anything you want and all you’ve got is an overdressed (and most likely highly irritated) pig.

Who are they going to “support” if all the rest of the candidates turn ‘em down, AlGore? I’d bet he’d take Judas’ thirty pieces of silver and not bat an eye.

That you ask is a testament to your lack of understanding. He used other peoples money as leverage to buy properties at a time when property values were quickly rising.

LOL. And that is to be condemned? Do you know how the real estate business works? Have you ever bought any real estate? Do you have a mortgage on your property?

Without the family connections he would not have been able to obtain the financing.

So what? I really have a hard time understanding what your point is. You claim that Trump is not a real businessman because he is in real estate and the entertainment business. You seem to imply there is no risk involved.

Your agenda is obvious. You don't like Trump. But, my God, at least provide some cogent, rational arguments to support it and not the nonsense you are spouting.

You sheep don’t care what facts are out there. Your unthinking worship of Donald is reminiscent of the last couple elections.

You mean when the GOPe selected the candidates and we had to hold our noses and vote for the lesser of two evils. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. No more Bushes. No more lying politicians who make promises and don't keep them. No more candidates owned by their corporate paymasters. Never again.

I think you are a bit confused:

The Club for Growth is a national network of over 100,000 pro-growth, limited government Americans who share in the belief that prosperity and opportunity come from economic freedom. The leading free-enterprise advocacy group in the nation, we win tough battles and we have an enormous influence on economic policy. The Club for Growth is the only organization that is willing and able to take on any Member of Congress on policy who fails to uphold basic economic conservative principles…regardless of party. We pinpoint key bills up for debate in Congress. We exert maximum pressure on lawmakers to vote like free-market, limited government conservatives. And if they don’t, we hold them accountable by publicizing their voting record.

The Club for Growth was founded in 1999 by Stephen Moore, Thomas L. Rhodes, and Richard Gilder. Moore served as the first president of the Club from 1999 until December 2004, when board members voted to remove Moore as president.[4] Pennsylvania United States Senator Pat Toomey served as president from 2005 through 2009. The Club’s current president is former Indiana Congressman David McIntosh.[

In 2010, the Club’s political arms spent about $8.6 million directly on candidates and bundled another $6 million from Club members, directing those funds to candidates.[6] In 2012, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, Club members donated at least $4 million, and the Club’s political arms spent nearly $18 million on elections.

FR Meme:

I used to think that (Fill in The Blank) was a good conservative (organization). I enjoyed what he/ she/they had to say about the world.

But now that he/ she/they has criticized (Fill In The Blank) and I see that he/ she/they does not agree with me on (Fill In The Blank) I realize he/ she/they is/are a scum sucking GOPe RINO Elitist Bastard (group)

You were not talking about a governor...you wrote this “Trump can say all that he wants but he doesn’t have the experience and success in areas that we need our next president to have”

Do you see any mention of “Governor” in there? I don’t but I sure as heck see “PRESIDENT.”

Well? That surely has worked out well hasn’t it?

1. “Pinpoint key bills.”
2. “Exert pressure to vote like...”

And.........show us ANY ACTUAL positive results...any at all!
