I can confirm that the attack ads in Mississippi run by “All Citizens for Mississippi” were funded by Senate Republicans, including Senators Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Rob Portman, Bob Corker, and Roy Blunt. It appears our Senate Republican leaders are willing to risk losing a Senate majority so long as they can get their own re-elected. Yes folks, it is true. I can confirm what we all suspected. The advertisements attacked Mississippi State Senator Chris McDaniel and painted conservative Republicans and tea party activists as racists. According to documents filed with the Federal Elections Commission, All Citizens for Mississippi received funding from a Haley Barbour backed group called Mississippi Conservatives. Mississippi Conservatives, in turn, was funded in part by Sally Bradshaw of the RNC’s Growth and Opportunity Project, former RNC Chairman and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, the United States Chamber of Commerce, and the political action committees created for Senators Mitch McConnell ($50,000), John Cornyn ($50,000), Rob Portman ($25,000), Bob Corker ($25,000), and Roy Blunt ($5,000). Interestingly, Sally Bradshaw and Henry Barbour (Haley Barbour’s nephew) worked on the autopsy of the 2012 GOP loss. Poster Comment: Embedded links at source.

These are the moderate Republicans. Leading conservative Republicans were lobbying for amnesty last I checked.
Our Establishment politicians (both Rs and Ds) will ensure their Club remains a rabble free zone.
Life is what happens to you when you are making other plans.
Gated communities. Disruptive travel in motorcades and shutdown public places. Special flights. Special schools. Letting us eat "cake."
Step aside, knave, your Glorious Senator demands that you bow in a show of obeyance as he passes by!!

Granted, the GOP ruling establishment and its RINO politicians are pro-amnesty and why are we surprised? RINO's are Dem Lite. But the GOP establishment is experiencing rumbling, quaking earth below its feet. Point in fact - Eric Cantor got his as* handed to him for supporting amnesty. The GOP has hope for Reform because of the Tea Party opening the eyes of GOP voters to what its party's establishment has become - infested with RINO's. OTOH, the Dems are unified - there's no hope for reform - in fact, its a party that perfectly reflects what its voters believe in - amnesty, open borders, entitlements, free rides on other taxpayers' backs, a world of takers and workers.
