War: Chamber of Commerce gearing up to take out conservative incumbents in the House next year
Hot Air ^ | July 24, 2015 | Allahpundit

This strategy isn’t entirely new. They started talking about targeting tea partiers in primaries in late 2013 and followed through in last year’s midterms... The difference last year was that they stuck to open seats rather than going after incumbents. Evidently they’ve decided now that “progress” towards the dream of renewing the Ex-Im bank and passing a gigantic amnesty ensuring all the cheap legal labor they could possibly want isn’t happening fast enough. It’s simply not sufficient to fill vacancies in the House with corporatist business-class Republicans. To move their agenda, they need to start replacing some of the people whose seats are currently occupied.

I’m trying to imagine the effect on conservative morale next spring if we end up with a double whammy of Jeb Bush cruising towards the nomination while the Chamber of Commerce sets about zapping House conservatives like Jim Jordan, Raul Labrador, and Tim Huelskamp.

Amnesty has moved the Chamber of Commerce from an ally to an enemy of decent Americans. I no longer like or trust them. What kind of person betrays his country for cheap labor?

Stupid old rich White men. It’s the fastest way to have their companies taken over by the Leftists, as conservatives stay home and let Hillary or Bernie Sanders take the presidency.

They aren't going to have much luck with Raul Labrador. I have family in Idaho and he won the primary nomination in 2010 against a Chamber of Commerce endorsee specifically because he wasn't a Chamber of Commerce endorsee.

Gotta love Idaho. Even some of the Democrats there are more conservative than a lot of Republicans outside of the south, Great Plains and Rocky Mountain states.

The Chamber of Commerce out here in Fly Over Country, of which I am a member, does not agree with what the national Chamber is up to. They represent the multi billion crony capitalism members. We are just trying to keep our little companies alive and prospering. We don’t want to be swallowed up by the Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and L3 of the world. We just want to provide a good product and at a good price and keep the damn politicians out of the equation.

I wouldn’t mind these people losing everything they have and being forced to live in a socialist hell-hole, if only I didn’t have to live there too. If there were only somewhere I could go, to be free of the marxists in the Democrat party and the crypto-fascists in the GOPe. Obama and Boehner are the worst negotiators in history, maybe we should open negotiations up with them. Give us the south and mountain west, and leave us in peace.

Big business is not our friend.

Buy generic and buy local.

They will not get the message unless we hit their bottom line.

Chamber of Commerce only cares about the top 1%. They do not care a whit about middle class.

The middle class is a nuisance to the 1%’ers and our government rulers.

Doesn't matter. The Coc's have declared WAR on us.

Let us respond in kind.

Remember, there were some good people in Nazi Germany, too.

the chamber of COMMUNISTS... my congress creep is one of them. His name is KEVIN BRADY... he only come alive at election time. The rest of the time he is out making deals for Kevin.

I call him Kevin Barely... barely breathing. You have to hold a mirror to his face to see if he is still alive unless he thinks there is a campaign contribution coming from somewhere.

Most local CoC’s are dedicated to the small businesses that are their core. But like the labor movement, the local union shop served no function except to feed dollars into the national corrupt crony organization. The Chambers are doing the same and they are killing the small business owners just as the unions are killing the blue collar workers.

US CoC is the union made up of thuggish business owners wanting cheap illegal labor.

Not to worry...we will be in severe crisis by that time due to global economic collapse. I doubt there will be elections.

Pray for our people.

What we need is a conservative financier and activist to get together and start a phone warrior group. That will set up a site to recruit activists like us to work on campaigns from their homes via phone. With VOIP you can call unlimited time all over the country. We could help to take out Boner, McCain, Ellmers and a lot of the rest in a full scale “rino hunt” and then become an even bigger force during the fall elections. Even if their is no opponent in sight us doing spade work could help bring that about. Are you listening Jim Robinson?

“to be free of the marxists in the Democrat party and the crypto-fascists in the GOPe.”

The fascist crony capitalists know that they are one mistake away from being dragged into the streets and hanged from lampposts. There’s a reason why these fascists back gun control; they fear armed Americans.
