The Republican Mainstreet Partnership PAC event is reportedly attracting about two dozen Republican lawmakers, including high-ranking Reps. Eric Cantor, R-Va. and Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Speaker John Boehner was "in talks" to attend but will not, the Daily Caller reported.

The PAC is an offshoot of the Main Street Partnership and was started by former Rep. Steve LaTourette, R-OH, to promote GOP candidates over more hard-line tea party rivals.

"To make Washington work again, we need more – not fewer – elected officials who are willing to put partisan politics aside to work for the greater good," the group says on its website. "That’s where the Republican Main Street PAC comes in – we support Republican candidates who are committed to governing and to making Washington work again."

That's stirred significant backlash among tea party groups, who accuse LaTourette of being a RINO. The Florida getaway, to be held at the Ritz-Carlton, has lit up conservative blogs.

"Notice within their description of ‘what we do’ they very specifically state that they are working for the ‘greater good,' " read a post on Tea Party News Network. "Those words and that ideology, the ‘greater good,’ are not only code words for Progressivism; they are as well for Communism."

As Cantor falls, Boehner offers sympathy

By Russell Berman - 06/10/14 11:39 PM EDT

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) offered his sympathies to Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) in a brief statement late Tuesday after his top lieutenant was defeated in a stunning primary loss.

“Eric Cantor and I have been through a lot together,” Boehner said in a statement that read like a condolence note. “He’s a good friend and a great leader, and someone I’ve come to rely upon on a daily basis as we make the tough choices that come with governing. My thoughts are with him and Diana and their kids tonight.”

Boehner and Cantor have worked closely together in the last two years after a tense period in the first year of Boehner’s tenure as Speaker.

Cantor was seen as Boehner’s heir apparent, and his loss will shake up the line succession in the House GOP ranks.

In a shocking upset, Cantor was defeated, 56 percent to 44 percent, by conservative David Brat, a Tea Party-aligned college professor with no experience in elected office.

Establishment Republicans Fight to Keep Banks in Power

Posted 3 hours ago by Godfather Politics

There is a sinister side to the establishment Republican’s war on conservatives and Tea Party candidates. Like their Democrat fellow travelers, they benefit by the flow of easy money. This is why they are working hard to keep Thad Cochran in power in Mississippi even though his mental acuity is being questioned.

Cochran did not know that Eric Cantor had lost his congressional seat. Then he said something about doing “all kinds of indecent things with animals.”



Cochran will vote with the Establishment majority. He will do what the establishment tells him to do.

For too many Republicans, the Democrats aren’t the problem. The Establishment Republicans disagree with their free spending Democrat counterparts only on how the fiat money should be spent not whether it should be spent.

Unfortunately, the biggest worry gripping DC in response to the Cantor loss is how his departure will impact Wall Street and big banks, who were strong allies of the Majority Leader. There is even worry that, without Cantor, the crony capitalist Export-Import Bank, which gives government-backed financing to major corporations, may expire. Oh, the horror.
There is perhaps no better example of how out-of-touch DC is with the rest of America than the following tweet from senior GOP "strategist" John Feehery, in reaction to MS Sen. Thad Cochran being forced into a run-off.

The notion that voters should support a politician solely on the ability to extract more money out of the Treasury is precisely how a nation accumulates a $17 trillion debt. This rather petulant sentiment, mind you, comes from a Republican.
Last week, the National Republican Senatorial Committee hosted a fundraiser for Sen. Cochran's run-off which brought over $800,000 into the embattled politician's campaign coffers from various corporations and DC interests. This money isn't to finance a fight against a Democrat, but against a fellow Republican who bested 40-year incumbent Cochran in the initial primary balloting. Cochran's campaign is also banking on support from anti-gun Michael Bloomberg and Facebook co-founder and left-wing donor Sean Parker.

If the money is printed or digitized, then it's immoral and will eventually wreck the economy be igniting the flames of devalued currency.
