Agreed, always a Liberal, Spector just changed the letter following his name. Thankfully, the Dims toshed him, fair warning to other faint hearted Pubbies.

There is a fight underway for the future of the GOP between Conservatives and Opportunists (aka RINOs). Conservatives are those who rely on principles and conviction in their decision making process and Opportunists are those who will say or do whatever it takes to get elected. If the conservatives fail in this fight they will walk away from the GOP en masse.

Keep up the good work Club for Growth!! Look at what the Republican Party is trying to feed us now, they want Charlie Crist (FL) who backed porkulus, Mark Kirk (IL) who is more with Pelosi than most conservatives, don’t want to support Pat Toomey.
You have to keep their feet to the fire at election time.

If Spekter signaled out the Club for Growth as a big factor in his decision, then they must be doing something right.

Club for Growth is one of my favorites! Limited Government should be the #1 tenet of the Republican party.

So I guess that the big tent doesn’t include the conservative side and those opinions.
Which make sense since being the Demo-lite is working out so well for the Republicans.

The CFG pretty much sucks, like most republican organizations.

The Republican Revolution was ended by the Republicans, bunch of incompetent boobs that they are.

If you want an entrenched Washington controlled party that doesn’t need to answer to the people who put them there, don’t support what the Club for Growth is doing. Incumbency good. Democracy bad.

Specter is scum. I used to contribute to Club for Growth until Steve Moore started writing pro-illegal immigration editorials in the WSJ. If Club for Growth supports illegal immigration, that may be why they dissed Duncan Hunter in his bid for the nomination.
To: Frantzie
Well, that’s disappointing to hear.

Am I remembering correctly, pissant, didn’t club for growth shaft Duncan Hunter?
To: upsdriver
That turned me off on the CFG also. It does look like they gave support to Lamborn though, and he is quite hawkish on borders. So apparently they’re not 100% ideological on their stance.

It could have been Hunter’s tough talk on China trade as well now that I think of it. At any rate, Duncan Hunter was a pure conservative running for president and should have been supported by a so-called conservative group.
