No longer even pretending to be for Conservatives.

Could substitute "GOP Establishment" for "US Chamber"

[InterceptPoint]

In the RealClearPolitics average of polls, she trails her leading Republican challenger, Rep. Bill Cassidy, by one point.
++++
Well within The Margin of Cheating.

Other things being equal, if Vendor A is a member of the Chamber and Vendor B is NOT a member, from now on Vendor B will get my business every time.

May they root in hell.

[Williams]

Also rot there.

I guess the Chamber's money is as good as anybody else's for buying ads, but I cannot imagine what voter would care that they endorsed someone.

I’m wondering if a Chamber of Commerce endorsement will be a negative in winning voters from either political party. Let Landrieu have it. The implication is that both of the ‘pubs still in the picture are not Chamber of Commerce cronies.

Can we now finally, one and for all, kill off the stereotype of Republicans as crooked fatcat businessmen sucking on stogies as they shaft their customers and employees, please? We all know that all those guys are all Democrats.

I believe we are possibly seeing a realignment in American politics. Rather than the traditional and now out dated caricatures of each political party, the people are now beginning to recognize that we have a populist vs. elitist alignment which cuts across both parties.

The Democrats have long been able to tap Wall Street for more money than the Republicans. It is hard to maintain the fiction under those circumstances that they are the party of the downtrodden. The Republican Party is facing a rupture because the establishment which controls the party from Washington has turned a deaf ear to the base as it panders after the moneyed interests who just endorsed Mary Landrieu.

What is the difference between elitist Republicans and Mary Landrieu at this point? The main difference is they compete for the same money. They then turn around to respective constituencies and claim populist bona fides. The main identifier of the respective constituencies is race.

Let the establishment Republicans join the Democrat party and let the lunchpail Reagan Democrats combine with the Republican very conservative base to form a majority party to reform America.

The Chamber of Commerce has been infiltrated and by the UN. Leaders in the US Chamber of Commerce have been playing footsie with the UN vying for lucrative and prestigious positions.

[GeronL]

Chamber of Cronies

[Still Thinking]

Wait, that’s a very interesting tidbit. Anyone know what is talking about at the end that they lost? And how is out known that their guy lost partly because of their support?

[txrefugee]

The GOP candidate should run an ad pointing out that Landrieu is supported by corporate fat cats. That will go over like a ecad balloon in LA.

[SecondAmendment]

A good rule of thumb when analyzing Dem v Rep pols, add 5 pts to the Republican and subtract 5 from the Democrat to get a more accurate result ....

And Hillary or Warren in 2016?

[Vigilanteman]

There is a great alternative to the Chamber of Commerce called NFIB. These were the people who took ObaMaoCare to court and fought a good fight before John Roberts stabbed us in the back.

They do everything the CoC promises to do for your business without the leftwing politics.

[tatown]

100% agree with your sentiment.

[sauropod]

I am throughly sick of Donohue and his ilk. To hell with them.

[sauropod]

I like “root” better.

That means they have to dig.
