Another sell out group with plans to destroy Tea Party conservatives.
Club for Growth Now Working With GOP Establishment

The conservative group Club for Growth has changed gears and is supporting establishment GOP candidates in primaries.
Launched a decade before the tea party made life difficult for moderate Republicans, the club quickly rose to the political forefront while supporting challengers to incumbent Republicans who it felt were not conservative enough, according to the National Journal.
In 2012, the fiscally conservative organization backed tea party candidate Richard Mourdock’s challenge to Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar and vilified veteran Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch for his voting record. The group also targeted 10 moderate House Republicans.
But the political action committee has suddenly pulled back for the upcoming elections and has begun endorsing GOP candidates favored by party leaders while newer, ultra-conservative groups have gone on the attack against them.
Earlier this month, the club backed Alaska Senate candidate Dan Sullivan over Joe Miller, the man the group endorsed in 2010.
In another surprising move, it refused to support tea party candidate Matt Bevin in the Kentucky race against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell while also praising the vulnerable six-term incumbent for his record.
It looks like the “growth” has gone out of the Club for Growth. Unsurprising about the American people; the Texans’ support for Cornball and George P. probably scared the Club for Growth out of its senses.
