In his piece from the most recent issue of NR, Ramesh examines the influence of a new conservative activist group, Heritage Action, an affiliate of the venerable Heritage Foundation. Heritage Action has made a name for itself with a legislative scorecard that is exceedingly tough — Eric Cantor receives a 59 percent. Not surprisingly, congressional Republicans have mixed feelings about the group — with some suggesting that it is rapidly marginalizing itself by trying to make agreement with its tactical views into a litmus test of conservatism, and others saying that the Republicans need the kind of tough love Heritage Action dispenses.
