A Republican super PAC committed to defeating the tea party in 2014 congressional primaries is mostly funded by labor unions.

The super PAC Defending Main Street, formed by moderate Republican and former congressman Steve LaTourette, has committed itself to destroying tea party challenges to establishment GOP candidates in the 2014 midterm elections.

“Hopefully we’ll go into eight to 10 races and beat the snot out of them,” LaTourette said. His PAC has already committed itself to defending Republican Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson from tea party opponent Bryan Smith, who is backed by the conservative Club for Growth due to Simpson’s support for the Wall Street bailout. Defending Main Street also aims to defend incumbent House Republicans Aaron Schock and Adam Kinzinger and West Virginia Senate candidate Shelley Moore Capito.

The PAC hopes to raise $8 million this election cycle to wage war with the tea party. So far, the PAC has raised only $845,000, and most of it came from labor unions, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) receipts.

The PAC picked up only seven donors in late 2013 and five of them were unions or union-affiliated PAC’s.

The Laborers’ Political League Education Fund donated $100,000 to Defending Main Street.

The International Union of Operating Engineers gave $250,000.

The Laborers’ International Union of North America gave $150,000.

Lets see if I got this straight... LaTourette said that RAISING TAxes is good for REPUBLICANS??

Lets see Madam LaTourette how can I say this without being zotted...

LaTourette, RAISING TAXES is GOOD for GREEDY MARXISTS in Washington, DC.

Here on Main Street, you GD F'ing Democrat, it will result in EMPTY STOREFRONTS and More people out of work..

That said I have to say that only people who SHOULD be out of work are MARXISTS, RINOS and DUMBAS$ES like the Dems and the GOPes.

So you GD F'ing DEMOCRAT, take your UNION $$ and STICK IT where the SUN DON'T SHINE!!

In November, we are having a TEA PARTY!!!
