“Mississippi Conservatives, in turn, was funded in part by Sally Bradshaw of the RNC’s Growth and Opportunity Project, former RNC Chairman and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, the United States Chamber of Commerce, and the political action committees created for Senators Mitch McConnell ($50,000), John Cornyn ($50,000), Rob Portman ($25,000), Bob Corker ($25,000), and Roy Blunt ($5,000),” the report said."
Since the Reagan revolution, the Beltway GOP moderates KNEW they had to wrap themselves in a "Conservative" mantle for every election, beginning with Bush I, because that is what the mainstream party members wanted to hear. It's just a lie that's becoming obvious to more and more voters.
I am quite ready to see the TEA Partiers and other Conservative stalwarts jump from the GOP and migrate to the U.S. Constitution Party. Moving to an existing political entity eliminates the need to establish a party infrastructure. Yes, some party planks will have to change, but a large influx of disaffected GOPers will provide clout.
But I truly have had it with the GOP.
