US Chamber of Commerce endorses Sen. Brown, calls Elizabeth Warren a 'threat to free enterprise'
The Republican ^

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsed Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown on Wednesday, attacking his Democratic opponent Elizabeth Warren for supporting a “a government-only approach.”

“No other candidate in 2012 represents a greater threat to free enterprise than Professor Warren,” said Chamber of Commerce National Political Director Rob Engstrom.

Speaking at the Harry Miller Company in Roxbury, a company that manufactures canvas, fabric and other products for commercial and military use, Engstrom pointed to Brown’s opposition to President Barack Obama’s health care reform, Brown’s support for the Keystone XL Pipeline, and his “commonsense approach” to regulation.

Asked about Brown’s support for the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill, which the Chamber opposed, Engstrom said the Chamber ranks incumbents on over 300 issues, and Brown voted with the Chamber 87 percent of the time.

The Chamber also endorsed Republican Richard Tisei in the 6th congressional district race. The Chamber supports candidates, mostly Republicans, around the country. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the Chamber already spent more than $10 million in independent expenditures this election.

Even more complete title:

The Chamber of Commerce that passively endorses illegal immigration which is a threat to free enterprise in the United States says something that only further underlines their hypocrisy on economic issues
