Power Struggle Grips the Club for Growth

[Rose Siding]

The Club for Growth announced last month that its president, Stephen Moore, was leaving to start a new organization with a similar outlook, the Free Enterprise Fund. The club's statements about the change, including a letter from Mr. Moore, portrayed the transition as an amicable "passing the torch" from Mr. Moore to the new president, Patrick Toomey.

However, sources familiar with the inner workings of the group said Mr. Moore's departure followed heated disagreements with the club's four-person board of directors.

The rift over governance of the group also led a vaunted economist, Arthur Laffer, to quit the club's board in recent weeks. Other founders of the club and members of its economic advisory pan el have also taken sides in the dispute.

Some club members attributed Mr. Moore's departure, in part, to disagreements over the details of plans to reform the Social Security program.

He has this deranged grin on his face when he appears on talk shows and talks about his ideas...He is a terrible spokesperson because that grin never changes, no matter what the topic and he looks crazy...really crazy...
