GOP establishment, including Romney's campaign mgr, fundraising for Walter Jones' opponent

Why the love fest with Club for Growth? They are far from perfect.

Then why do Rand and Justin have close to a 100% lifetime rating from them?

His "radical conversion" was just last year. In 2013, he recieved a FreedomWorks scorecard of 95%. In 2012, he recieved a score of 63%. I'm hoping he continues to vote like 2013, but it may have just been a good year. He has a lifetime FreedomWorks score of 66%.

I call BS on that. I live here. Jones has been getting exponentially better for years. FreedomWorks, on the other hand, was crap until 2012.

In the time span you gave, Jones has voted for Dodd-Frank, Cap-and-Trade, raising the minimum wage, and extending unemployment benefits. Jones is in the wrong, not FreedomWorks. 2013 is the beginning of his political transformation, if he has even had one.

Yes, his economic side is taking longer to turn than the rest of his ideology. I double-down on calling it BS. I know Walter personally.

That's not surprising. Americans for Prosperity certainly isn't a neocon organization either. They're a libertarian organization. Americans for Prosperity is helping out Justin Amash in his race. They're only opposed to Walter because of his bad voting record on economic issues. I wouldn't be surprised if the Club for Growth came out and endorsed Walter's opponent and ran ads against Walter as well.

Uhhh... From my read AFP is helping Jones; not "opposed... as well"

I saw this article the other day: http://www.businessweek.com/news/20...ofa-in-targeting-lonely-dodd-frank-republican

I wonder if Jones actually understands Dodd-Frank? I admit I don't, but all libertarian/conservative policy analysts are firmly against it.
