About that 100% ACU rating for McConnell that was mentioned to you....that’s the same ACU that won’t sanction speakers against Norquist and his radical muslim loving friends or against Amnesty. The same ACU who supports the hijacking of the tea party label to use against the tea party. The same ACU, whose head, Al Cardenas is on record for the gang of 8 amnesty. McConnell’s wife, Elaine Choa is also all about amnesty. McConnell votes with his base on immigration when forced to.

The ACU, like CPAC has been taken over by liberal elements. They are the enemy destroying conservatism.

Conservative leader says GOP must broaden appeal

[David] Keene has served as chairman of the ACU for more than 26 years, since Dec. 1984. A longtime Republican political strategist and adviser to several GOP presidential candidates, Keene is also the managing associate of the Carmen Group, a Washington, D.C., lobbying firm, and first vice president of the National Rifle Association.
Keene is leaving ACU in a state of turmoil. The organization alienated social conservatives by permitting a homosexual activist organization, GOProud, to participate in its signature project, the annual CPAC convention. As a result, some of the best-known conservative organizations, including the Heritage Foundation, Family Research Council, American Family Association, Concerned Women for America, Media Research Center and the National Organization for Marriage are not participating in the conference this year.
At the same time ACU has been rocked by a financial scandal in which hundreds of thousands of dollars was reported to the Internal Revenue Service as misappropriated and the group is coming under fire from national security conservatives for allowing Suhail Khan, an alleged associate of radical Muslim activists, to serve on the board.
“David has said he’s going to be leaving to pursue other opportunities,” said board member Becky Norton Dunlop. “This is going to be his last term.”
Keene is expected to become president of the NRA later this year. [Emphasis added.]
David Keene, Al Cardenas, Grover Norquist, Suhail Khan. Remember those names.
