- That goes to show you how some RINO'S are treating other conservative people. Everyone needs to go on twitter and send a message to these RINO'S and tell them there will be no more funding until they let the Heritage Foundation back into their meetings. It doesn't say who barred the Foundation from attending but I will find out and this person or group will hear from me and will get a piece o my mind for not letting the Heritage Group attend. They think they are getting a little big for their britches and need to be brought down to size."
- They must rid themselves of all opposition. No other voices shall be heard. This is turning more and more into a dictatorship everyday."
12/6/12, "DeMint takes parting shot at Boehner," The Hill, J. Easley
"Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who shocked Washington on Thursday with the announcement that he would resign his Senate seat in January to become president of the the Heritage Foundation, sent a parting shot at Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) over the “fiscal cliff” negotiations.
“I’m not with Boehner,” DeMint said on CNN’s "The Situation Room." “This government doesn’t need any more money, this country needs less government.”...
On Tuesday, DeMint released his own statement trashing the GOP plan.
“Speaker Boehner’s $800 billion tax hike will destroy American jobs and allow politicians in Washington to spend even more, while not reducing our $16 trillion debt by a single penny,” he said in a statement. “If neither party leadership is going to put forward a serious plan to balance the budget and pay down the debt, we should end this charade.”...

"I can’t support a party that has become nothing more than the women’s auxiliary of the Democratic Party."
12/6/12, "Goodbye GOP," Tea Party Tribune, by Mr. Curmudgeon
"Two developments in the Republican Party point to its future: South Carolina’s Jim DeMint announced his retirement from the United States Senate to serve as president of the conservative Heritage Foundation, and the Reuters News Service reports that GOP House Speaker John Boehner is purging conservative Tea Party members from key committees “as he seeks to tighten control over his unruly caucus ahead of difficult votes on ‘fiscal cliff’ issues.”
The consolidation of America’s one-party state begins.
You see, it matters not how conservative a Republican you send to Congress if his vote (and yours indirectly) is negated by the gelding brothers John Boehner (House) and Mitch McConnell (Senate)....
I can’t support a party that has become nothing more than the women’s auxiliary of the Democratic Party."
==========================
Boehner was badly burned and Heritage and Club for Growth were blamed:
12/22/12, "Fearing primaries, Republican members opted to shun Boehner’s 'Plan B'," The Hill, Molly K. Hooper
"Many House Republicans refused to vote for Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) Plan B bill because they were “gun shy” about drawing primary challengers in the 2014, according to several lawmakers.
"Asked why GOP leaders didn’t have the votes, deputy whip Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas) told The Hill, “You've got to ask Club for Growth, Heritage Action and all those guys who bullied members of Congress into voting against their own best interests.”
Both right-leaning groups came out against Plan B."...

8/29/13, "New Heritage Foundation Fight Shows Everything That's Wrong With The GOP," Business Insider, Josh Barro
"The RSC's problem with Heritage isn't that it's trying to push the GOP too far to the right to be competitive in elections. Their problem with Heritage is that they're interfering with the GOP's effort to put special-interest politics ahead of conservative principles.
House Republicans do not actually care about free markets or cutting government." (scroll down for this parag.)
