One of the big money campaign contributors that are pulling Mitch’s strings.

Ol’ Mitch cares more about his Corporate Campaign Contributors than his constituents and their individual liberties and rights.

This is actually good news. For the Chamber of Commerce to spend money on McConnell so early shows that Mitch is in big trouble. His anti-Tea Party scheming with Karl Rove is not going over well at all and this is a defensive response.

If you want to know who owns the US Chamber of Commerce, their biggest donors are Big Government loving Chevron and Goldman Sachs.

Alison Lundergan Grimes and Mitch McConnell have at least one thing in common: most of their campaign contributions are derived from sources outside the state of Kentucky.

It is sad. The Chamber was so damn good during Obama care fight, and has made a 180 in the past 12 months. What a waste.

It sounds like the Business Roundtable, which only allows the largest businesses as members. There's a reason Sarah Palin criticizes crony capitalism and says she's pro-market rather than pro-business.
