Posted on 05/15/2006 8:32:42 PM PDT by Delphinium

Who are/were the candidates that "Club for Growth" supports? and Who is in the "House Study Committee"

Here in Idaho there are some conservative folks who are really bashing "Club for Growth" and "The House Study Committee"

Before I answer, I need to know more of what I am talking about?

So some of you experts, please inform me.

Club for Growth is a PAC that generally supports candidates in favor of low taxes, free markets, and supply-side economics.

They are known for running ads against more liberal Republicans like Arlen Specter and Lincoln Chafee. They were a big force behind the Pat Toomey candidacy in Pennsylvania.

Would Tom Tancredo be one of them?

Some may not like them as they support conservative candidates other than the party pick in some primaries and have been successful. They backed Senator Coburn and I think also Representative Pence.

You can thank them for Sen. Thune and the ouster of Tom Daschle.

The Club for Growth supports Bill Sali in that Idaho race because he is the only one of the six republicans stupid enough to support CAFTA.
