US Chamber targets Tea Party

Publisher's note:  I find it very interesting that the US Chamber would find itself at odds with the Tea Party; an organization that simply wants to realize the vision of our founders with less government, less spending, and less taxation.  I also find it very interesting that the signs being held in the photo are clearly from the camp of the administration, which is itself destroying our economy.

The Chambers need to realize this; We the People of America and the Tea Party are though having the failed economic and social policies of the left rammed down our throats.  Come election day, we will have won the day, or lost our nation.

Fox News:  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce says it will back “pro-business” candidates against Tea Party-styled opponents in this year’s election, largely in response to conservative lawmakers shutting down the federal government last year over fiscal issues.

“In 2014, the chamber will work to protect and expand a pro-business majority in the House and advance our position and our influence in the Senate,” Chamber President and CEO Tom Donohue said Wednesday. “We will support candidates who want to work within the legislative process.”  

Donohue, in his annual State of American Business speech, didn’t single out the Tea Party specifically but said afterward the chamber’s frustrations are with the movement’s extreme faction and politicians who have linked themselves to the Tea Party.

“It’s people who don’t want to play,” Donohue told Fox Business, referring to last year’s budget stalemate that partially closed the federal government for 16 days and the ensuring debt-ceiling negotiations that almost resulted in the same outcome.

“The Tea Party has lots of good ideas,” Donohue said. “But those people are not helping us.”
