The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is gearing up to challenge some House Republicans in primary elections, frustrated after much of its agenda has been stymied by a small pocket of conservative GOP lawmakers.
The influential and well-heeled business group is already eyeing several races, but the plans are still in their infancy and the targets have not yet been decided upon, according to more than a half dozen Republican sources on K Street and Capitol Hill.

.
. The group’s apparent new willingness to engage in hand-to-hand political combat to take out sitting Republicans would represent a major shift for the business community, which has largely shied away from targeting sitting lawmakers.
House GOP leadership sources say they’re unaware of and don’t support any attempt to target sitting GOP lawmakers. But the Chamber’s internal dialogue comes as House Republican leaders have struggled to maintain discipline in their ranks. Recent attempts to crack down on dissenting lawmakers have backfired.

The Chamber of Commerce is the DNC’s newest tentacle loaded with America-hating, Obama butt boys.

There’s a shopping list for people to publicly shame.
“Time to start publishing names, addresses, phone numbers, and photographs of these bozos.”
The GOP is as corrupt as the Democrat Party. Time for conservatives to leave and form a new party.
The Cheap Labor Express wants to play hardball.
If you have a good Congressman as I do in Dave Brat after we kicked out the weasel Eric Cantor, then support him and make sure he gets re-elected.
If you have a weasel representing you, get a primary challenger and throw him out. I don’t care if he is Majority Leader like ours or important committee chair or even Speaker, throw him out. I’m looking at you OH-8.
The Cheap Labor Express is sparing no expense to steal our country from us by flooding it with foreigners.

The anti-conservative GOPers are on the warpath. They have much more in common with the left than with us.
No, The RNC is a tentacle of The Cheap Labor Express.
Good Job!

The GOP-e, democrats, corporate big wigs and Wall Street bankers are all comfortable hanging out with each other socially. And they are just as comfortable with hanging out with their equivalent counterparts in Shanghai, Tokyo, London, Moscow and Riyadh. They see each other at the same posh vacation spots we never get near. Their kids all attend the same exclusive international private schools our kids will never attend.
They all have a lot in common with each other and NOTHING in common with us.
Not coincidentally, the NRCC is cutting off funds to these same candidates that are being targeted by The Cheap Labor Express.
House GOP leadership sources say they’re unaware of and don’t support any attempt to target sitting GOP lawmakers
Complete hogwash
Boner and his butt boys want nothing more than to be rid of the conservatives that have been so much a thorn in his side he has had to beg Democrats for votes to pass the Uniparty agenda.
You say you want a revolution?
Just pointing out some obvious facts. Draw your own conclusions.
Nope, go after their supporters first cause if the money still flows, they’ll ignore it.
Anybody have any good ideas of how we can destroy the Chamber of Commerce?
