With this announcement representative Paul Ryan is openly announcing his intention to destroy the conservative elements within the republican party. And yet again, its doubtful anyone will try to stop him.
The president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Tom Donohue, recently announced his intentions to eliminate opposition to their progressive big government positions and destroy fiscal conservatives (Tea Party).
Tom Donohue demands: ♦ approval of the TPP trade deal, ♦ continuation of ObamaCare, ♦ comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty, and ♦ federal education Common Core education standards.
Previously we explained how deep the tentacles of the CoC reach within the Republican party SEE HERE.
Now today, to put the cherry on the cake, Paul Ryan announces he will appoint Chamber of Commerce Lobbyist David Hoppe as his Chief of Staff as Speaker of the House.
WASHINGTON DC As he builds support for his bid for speaker of the House, Republican Rep. Paul Ryan has announced he will name as his top aide a longtime corporate lobbyist whose past clients have significant business before Congress.
The Washington Post reported if he wins the speakers job, Ryan will name as his chief of staff registered lobbyist David Hoppe, a former aide to Sens. Trent Lott and John Kyl. The announcement comes a decade after congressional Republicans so-called K Street Project, which sought to bring lobbyists closer to the Republican policymaking machine, resulted in federal indictments.
Federal records show since 2010, Hoppe has lobbied for major financial industry interests such as insurance giant MetLife, the National Venture Capital Association and Zurich Financial Services. He has also lobbied for investment firm BlackRock, which could be affected by efforts to change federal financial regulations and which could benefit from a recent proposal to shift military pension money into a federal savings plan managed in part by the Wall Street giant. And Hoppe has lobbied for Cayman Finance, whose business promot[ing] the development of the Cayman Islands financial services industry could be affected by legislation to crack down on offshore tax havens.

Norm, you’ve been proven more than right over these years, I can only hope that more people WAKE UP to the message that you have been bringing.
And, he sees no reason to hide it.
In case anyone was wondering how long it’d be before Ryan did Ryan.
Ryan is an arrogant POS.
Ditto that.
Some do. Some are still pimping Rubio, Fiorina, Carson and any number of liberal lesser evils and browbeating anyone for not complying with their liberal agendas.
He will not honor his promise to not push an amnesty bill. Look also for TPP to pass.
pphhhgggtt
It’s not just me. A lot of us say the exact same thing. And we are buried by the liberal blowback. I have seen threads 10on one with people pushing the crap that got us in this mess.
Until others stand up and tell them to go to hell, we arent going to make any headway. If we can’t win here, we sure as fork arent winning a general.
And guess which Salem radio host is pushing this guy to the point of wondering why everyone does not see him as a conservative? The RHINO Hugh Hewitt. Get lost Hugh!!!!
Well hre isn’t alone. all the ‘conservative’ heads give him facetime and then come election day demand we buy their book then unite because (sing it with me) THEDEMISWORSE!!!
Ping!
Yep, FURP.
WWOFD?
What Would Our Founders Do?
Bump
Which ultimately is a good thing. Now the libs on the right are going to play hell justifying keeping their subversion closeted to support him. The less fig leaf the better.
Yea it sucks for America but some need a lot more pain than others to learn a hard lesson.
Elected men of principle in the first place and avoided the problem. Not ‘lesser evils’ in some self deluding orgy of justification.
Well, I don’t get to post very often, but I am with you guys when I am on the board!
President and CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Thomas J. Donohue is president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Since assuming this position in 1997, Donohue has built the Chamber into a lobbying and political powerhouse with expanded influence across the globe.
During Donohues tenure, the Chambers lobbyists, policy experts, legal advocates, and communicators have helped secure business victories on Capitol Hill, in the regulatory agencies, in politics, in courts of law and in the court of public opinion, and before governments around the world.
In an era of economic and fiscal challenges, Donohue has aggressively advanced the American Jobs, Growth, and Opportunity Agenda, a plan that includes expanding trade and domestic energy production, rebuilding Americas infrastructure, combating an avalanche of new regulations, protecting intellectual property, revitalizing capital markets, and reforming entitlements and the tax system.
Under Donohues leadership, the Chamber has emerged as a major political force in races for the Senate and the House of Representatives. As part of this bipartisan effort, millions of grassroots business advocates, as well as the Chambers federation of state and local chambers and industry associations, mobilize in support of pro-business candidates.
Donohue established the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform, which advances significant legal reforms in the courts, at the state and federal levels, and in elections for state attorneys general and Supreme Court judges. He has dramatically expanded the activities of the U.S. Chamber Litigation Center, the Chambers law firm. And he has reinvigorated the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, which houses Hiring Our Heroes, a program that identifies job opportunities for tens of thousands of returning veterans and military spouses.
Previously, Donohue served for 13 years as president and CEO of the American Trucking Associations, the national organization of the trucking industry. Earlier in his career, Donohue was deputy assistant postmaster general of the United States and vice president of development at Fairfield University in Connecticut.
Born in New York City, Donohue earned a bachelors degree from St. Johns University and a masters degree in business administration from Adelphi University. He holds honorary degrees from Adelphi, St. Johns, Marymount, and Bradley universities, as well as the National University of Ireland at Maynooth. He is a 2013 recipient of the Horatio Alger Award. Donohue and his wife, Liz, have three sons and five grandchildren.
