Boehner to attend Ritz Carlton event for anti-tea party group

Republican House Speaker John Boehner will spend next weekend at a Ritz Carlton event hosted by an anti-tea party group devoted to fighting conservatives within the GOP.

Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor will be among 28 House members attending a $5,000-a-head event hosted by The Republican Main Street Partnership’s advocacy group, Red State reported. Donations will reportedly go to the anti-tea party super PAC Defending Main Street, which by February had received most of its funding from labor unions.

The event will be hosted at the Ritz Carlton on Amelia Island in Nassau County, Florida.

The Republican Main Street Partnership and its affiliated Main Street Advocacy group are headed by former Rep. Steve LaTourette, who has committed himself to raising money and running ads to defend centrist congressional Republican candidates from tea party primary challengers.

“They have decided to systemically go against center-right Republicans in primary elections,” LaTourette previously told The Daily Caller, referring to his tea party rivals. LaTourette said that tea partiers are happy to call him a “RINO” but that that they go “apoplectic” when the “RINO gets a gun” and “fires back.”

“Here’s the deal: we didn’t start this fight,” LaTourette said, “but I’m going to finish it.”

LaTourette’s efforts challenge those of conservative House members like Rep. Louie Gohmert, who recently launched his GOH Conservative PAC to fight back against establishment Republican fundraising efforts.

Gohmert criticized Boehner Thursday after the Speaker rushed a seemingly doomed bill to extend Medicare reimbursements through the House with a “voice vote” while many members were still in their offices instead of on the House floor. Gohmert said “you need to be able to trust your own leadership.”

I had the decency to send the RNC reasons why I have left them. This is one of them.

Dr. Reid and his monster, `Bonerstein' will entertain the assembled VIPs with, their musical stylings: "Putting On The Ritz"

[faithhopecharity]

Boner is limp!

America needs a much firmer Speaker of the House.

Good grief!

“Gohmert said “you need to be able to trust your own leadership.””

Pelosi, Reid, and JugEars trust him, Louie.

But no conservative should.

From the comments:

Want a list of leftist Republicrats to primary? here is a list of 56 of the elected members of the Republican Main Street Partnership. By joining this group, they are signing onto a far left governing agenda.

To give you an idea where these people sit in the political spectrum, every year one of their elected members is awarded the Lincoln Chaffee Award.

If you’ve not done your patriotic duty and run from the GOP yet, you ARE the problem.

[Jim Robinson]

Florida tea party bump! Boehner, Cantor, et al, are gunning for you.

Bump.

[Servant of the Cross]

This is why we need a new Speaker of the House as well as a complete new team.

Former Rep. Steve LaTourette is not even a squishy Republican. He's a Leftist who hates the Tea Party.

Someone should demand that Boehner and Cantor send their regrets that their schedules have now become too full to attend LaTorette's DEMOCRAT FUNDED Main Street Partners boondoggle.
