The conservative group Club for Growth is searching for a primary challenger to Rep. Greg Walden, the leader of the House GOP campaign arm, after Walden broke with his party and criticized President Barack Obama over his “chained CPI” proposal.
“We always knew Greg Walden had a liberal record, but he really cemented it with his public opposition to even modest entitlement reform,” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola in a statement.
“Greg Walden has voted for bailing out Wall Street, dozens of pork projects, and against cutting the spending from the Obama stimulus,” Chocola added. “He even voted against blocking taxpayer subsidies for Viagra.”
The Club for Growth called Walden’s lifetime score of 62 percent “dismal.”
The group has added the veteran Oregon congressman’s name to their website “Primary My Congressman,” and labeled him a “RINO,” or Republican In Name Only.
