U.S. Chamber of Commerce: Harry Reid Is Better Than Jeff Sessions
Breitbart ^ | 29 Apr 2015 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 04/29/2015 5:47:06 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce purports to be a Republican-leaning organization, but it actually ranked Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid better than Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) in its new scorecard for 2014 votes.

Last year, the Chamber gave Sessions a 57 percent ranking. He voted four times with the big business group, three times against and once didn’t have a recorded vote. Reid, on the other hand, voted with the Chamber five times and against it three times, earning a 63 percent rating.

“Some may be surprised by the scores, but when you look at the bills the Chamber prioritized you can understand why a solid conservative like Jeff Sessions would perform poorly,” Heritage Action spokesman Dan Holler, whose organization does its own scorecards, tells Breitbart News. He says the Chamber’s scorecard “is littered with special interest programs and big government spending.”

Is there an organization like the CoC that only represents company with 100 workers or fewer?

The Chamber's entire agenda can now be condensed into a single goal - increasing illegal immigration.

They are now as lethal an enemy to the republic as there has ever been.

If this doesn’t prove to us that The U.S. Chamber of Commerce

is an enemy of America, what else do you need?

Property confiscation, Camps. Long marches. Warm temperatures. Lead supplements. The standard end for liberal supporters given by their masters when the useful idiots lose their usefulness.

Same as it ever was.

The Chamber of Subsidized Commerce.
Their motto:

“If we can’t get the customers to give us more money, then we’ll have the government take it from them and give it to us!”

Its not too early to begin thinking about the left's end game here.

And anyone who believes this is being overly melodramatic is a fool.
