John Boehner was initially slated to attend the left-of-center Republican Mainstreet Partnership conference, but even he lost his nerve and backed out of an event run by a group funded by unions and George Soros that hates Tea Partiers. Apparently, the number two Republican in the House hates Tea Partiers even more than Boehner. Brent Bozell is calling him out on that — and I agree with what he’s saying.
Conservative leaders were stunned to learn that you will be headlining a conference in Florida this weekend that is, purely and simply, a direct attack on Tea Party conservatives. Worse still, this event is sponsored in part by ultra-liberal financier/activist George Soros and organized labor – both of which have openly, repeatedly – and often viciously – waged war on conservatives and Republicans for years.What has possessed you to headline this event? Do you think so little of conservatives that you would directly insult them by attending?
Since Mitt Romney’s defeat in the 2012 presidential election a substantial rift has opened between the GOP’s congressional leadership and rank-and-file Republicans, grassroots conservatives and Tea Party supporters – the very activists who provided the energy, enthusiasm and mobilization that fueled the historic Republican victory in 2010 and gave you and your colleagues the House majority you hold today.
You would not be Majority Leader today but for Tea Party conservatives. And you’re headlining an event sponsored by a leftist organization committed to its destruction. As we head in to midterm elections later this year, it would seem incumbent upon Republican leaders to do everything they can to actually heal this rift. Instead you are widening it further.
It is our understanding that Speaker John Boehner had planned to attend but is no longer doing so. We expect no less from you. Attending this event shows you are siding with the Democrat donors, unions, and other Soros-backed groups who have contributed over $1 million to attack conservatives.
The Republican Mainstreet Partnership isn’t a group of good guys, they don’t mean well, and anyone affiliated with them is an enemy of conservatives. To help them raise money that will be used to defeat grassroots conservatives is unforgivable and it shows Cantor is unfit to lead.
When does he come out of the closet?
If we could get him in the closet, we should double padlock the door.
HUZZAH!!! HUZZAH!!! HUZZAH!!!
(I stopped calling myself a Republican years ago. Good to see I still have no need for any regrets on that score.)
He is watching VA turn purple...
Reagan was an analnomoly. Conservatives and Republicans are and never have been conclusive. Conservatives are the Republican parties useful idiots. They will continue to use us until we leave in mass. The ruling class has its masters and they are not we the people. All politicians answer to their donors, money talks.
You got big elitists. You got little elitists. The little elitists do what the big elitists tell them to do so someday they can become big elitists.
What I would give to be there, but, Florida is just too far away for a working man to have any meaningful part in this and still get back for work Monday.
