I feel like I live in this film lately.
I heard Mr. Donohue at a convention in 2010, and he made so much sense that somebody in the audience shouted out that he should run for president. Either he has changed his opinions since then, or he wasn’t one of us to begin with.
The CoC was possibly our best ally leading up to 2010. They were so effective on informing the public about Obamacare and damaging Obama that they were singled out the State of the Union. Essentially, the enemies list.
I have no clue what is driving this change, but they have always been for amnesty, and something more is driving this political action against conservatives. I think it is a chronic case of the beltway syndrome where they consult with the McConnells and Boehners of the world and have collected decided to blame the right for their own failures in DC of defeat by Obama. It is stupid, short-sighted, and as this article mentioned...it’s going to either results in a permanent left-wing democrat majority or a third party that does equal damage.
Donohue is an opportunist. Nothing more and nothing less.
He was the head of the Truck-Trailer Association 25 to 30 years ago. That is an organization of Truck and Trailer manufacturers who lobby against stupid Government rules and regulations (I could tell you quite a story about anti-lock brakes). He was known as “Snow White and the 7-dwarfs” back then because of his snow white hair and numerous staff assistants. He got absolutely nothing done, but he could make a really great speech.
He left there to go to a larger organization and left them to go to the Chamber of Commerce. He has been failing upwards for as long as I have known about him.
Thanks Berosus. Depends on who’s writing the checks.
