Next Weekend, House Republicans Collaborate With Left-Wing Interests Against Conservatives
redstate.com ^ | 3/25/14 | Erick Erickson

Next weekend, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy, and twenty-five other members of Congress are flying to Amelia Island to collaborate with a group dedicated to defeating conservatives in Congress.

The Republican Main Street Partnership’s offshoot “Main Street Advocacy” is hosting the event at the Ritz Carlton on Amelia Island. Steve LaTourette, a liberal Republican former Congressman from Ohio, is the face in front of the group. LaTourette is good friends with John Boehner. Behind the scenes, LaTourette’s group is funded by the vast left-wing conspiracy. According to an email inviting people to the event, “People that are attending have donated $5,000 to the PAC.”

As I reported at the first of the year, LaTourette’s group has received money from left leaning unions, George Soros back organizations, and a major Democrat contributor.

The Mainstreet Partnership has multiple offshoots all housed on the 6th floor of a 7th Street office in Washington, D.C. Together, the groups — including Main Street Advocacy — want to, in the words of their backers, “bolster our incumbents who are under attack from the far right, and ensure that we hold on to seats represented by pragmatic Republicans that we would otherwise loose if there was an ultra-conservative in the general runoff.”

Their disclosures expose the lie. The group claims to be conservative and to support Republicans, but it is funded by the left. LaTourette himself has a long history of attacking conservatives and trying to defeat conservatives.

Next weekend, he is luring the top there Republicans in the House of Representatives and twenty-five others to the Ritz in Amelia Island to shake hands and collaborate with the very donors intent on defeating not just conservatives, but Republicans.

Soros-backed group, eh? Why in the world would anyone be surprised by this? Oh, right, forgot about the “We’ve gotta win the Senate by any means possible” crowd...

It is no exxageration that we are a one-party system, and the entire system is leftist. The GOPe have gotten away with “Me too” for so long, they arrogantly think now that conservatives owe them their votes no matter how blatantly they collaborate with the enemy.

Flying to an island to plot against Main Street Americans? Why not hold it in a hotel on an actual Main Street, say in Charleston?

The EXEMPT Congress (protectors of open borders,
and protectors of utter reprehensible corruption
and treason) are all the same whether DNC or GOP.

The EXEMPT continue to scheme against American taxpayers,
THEIR EMPLOYERS, as they maintain NO accountability
and continue their self-serving treason against
the US Constitution.

The EXEMPT must be voted out of office and made accountable.

Less chance of pictures of them either with George Soros or in bed with little boys.

I just send back my RNC Questionare...

With a note on the bottom part where they wanted money...
“I donate to Tea Party Candidates ONLY. NOT one dime to the RNC or the Senate Republican Slush fund to Screw Over America. RNC is lost in Foggy Bottom!”

You don't lure people somewhere who are already eager to go there.

This meeting is not surprising.

I do not believe the Republicans are going to retake the senate. In fact they may lose seats in both the house and the senate.

This may not be as bad as it sounds. Taking the senate could give false hope that Washington can be reformed from within, which in my opinion it can't. The worst case that could happen is the Republicans take the senate then do absolutely nothing with the power of both houses, which is almost certainly what would happen. The excuse would be Obama won't sign any real reform bills and the minority Democrats won't work with us. This would put everyone in a holding pattern to wait and hold power until 2016 where hopes would be we will win the presidency. Then 2016 comes and Hillary with the help of massive election fraud wins the presidency. This leaves the Republicans to have to hold power and live with Obamacare for an additional EIGHT years, then win the presidency. Does anyone think we can survive ten more years or more with Obamacare and Washington completely out of control?

I could very well be way wrong on this and I hope I am. Maybe Taking the Senate would at least slow the decay of our nation but if Republicans use power the way they have in the recent past we are doomed.

In my opinion, the answers to our problems lie outside of Washington and the false hopes of a Republican senate could be the last straw for our country.
