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.
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.
