Some of Texas’ biggest business trade groups are moving to counter tea party and anti-government forces that have dominated recent Republican primaries.
The movement mirrors the schism happening nationally between hard right and establishment Republicans. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently pledged $50 million to back pro-business Republicans in U.S. Senate primaries and fight tea party insurgents.
Michael Quinn Sullivan, president of the fiscal-hawk group Empower Texans said the Texas Future Business Alliance is nothing but a group of big-money interests wanting taxpayer dollars to flow into their pockets. “This is what we’ve come to expect coming out of the Washington, anti-Ted Cruz movement,” Sullivan said. “They want people who will vote for cronyism and corporate welfare.

Corporatists going all out it seems.
And what’s the bet that union money is behind some of this as well. We’re onto you Karl Rove!
They ain’t republicans
But they’z queers....
Waco enablers

Turning red states blue is suicide, but the corporates who benefited from American capitalism have turned the corner on America’s economic health and even on her best interests, partnered with and sometime sold out to globalists, until who hasn’t thrown in with the globalists is an ever shrinking number.

Before long we may be down to Smith & Wesson, Duck Dynasty markets, and chicfilet franchises.
Yes, so very true.
You betcha. Taste the panic.
But mostly I smell Cornyn sweat.
Unlike Iowa, California, New York, Florida, Washington, Illinois, Maine, Connecticut....
All the Business Socialists and Free Trader Communists know the Tea Party can end their taxpayer funded schemes
Sad that most of the wealthy and corporates are the biggest Socialists around
