CFG is putting their money where their mouths are. Bennett's is a safe GOP seat. Regardless of who wins the fight on the right, the Dem won't have a chance. Overall, Bennett is a reasonably conservative (it is Utah after all), but CFG has turned its guns on him for him for proposing a health plan with an individual mandate, supporting Bush's amnesty for illegals in 2007, and voting for the TARP bailout.
Of course the NRSC is pledging to back Bennett. And suddenly we have a Rubio-Crist-goes-to-Utah event on our hands.

The Club for Growth has no problem with amnesty. They believe in open borders, mass invasion, anything that means some temporary profits. They could care less about America in the long run.
Mike Huckabee called the CFG, the Club for Greed.
If Bennett supported Bush’s amnesty, I’d be happy to contribute to a conservative primary challenger, whether supported by the CFG or not.
Thats because Huckabilly is a statist. Fortunately, he's history, and the Club for growth will be here for a long time, God willing.
You are confusing CFG with the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber also supports corporate welfare such as the TARP bail-out. CFG is against it.
You are right and the article is wrong.
There's nothing in their statement about opposing Bennett because of his support for amnesty.
Dump that chump!
Be nice if they targeted a demonrat and helped a republican win that seat.
