Ron Paul (R-Texas), who endorsed his bid against Pelosi, and Dennis is promoting his new Freedom &amp; Prosperity PAC at the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, this week.<\/p>\n<p>Dennis said the PAC will support &#8220;liberty-oriented candidates,&#8221; and that he has another issue-oriented organization in the works \u2014 either a 501(c) or 527.<\/p>\n<p>As far as winning his backing \u2014 it won&#8217;t be easy. Dennis slammed the new House Republican leadership for not displaying a real backbone on spending cuts, calling the $32 billion initially proposed by House leaders &#8220;nonsense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So far, so bad,&#8221; Dennis said of the new majority&#8217;s start. &#8220;We elected a Tea Party Congress and they deliver $32 billion in cuts? It&#8217;s nonsense. $32 billion just isn&#8217;t gonna cut it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) made it clear Thursday that the GOP leadership has heard that complaint from activists and from within its own ranks loud and clear, pledging to cut &#8220;more than $100 billion&#8221; in a speech at CPAC.<br \/>\nDennis also wants to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and said he doesn&#8217;t concede the notion that Congress has to eventually raise the debt ceiling, arguing that a government default &#8220;might not be the worst thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To read more, visit:  <a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/ballot-box\/fundraising\/143457-former-pelosi-foe-launches-pac\">http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/ballot-box\/fundraising\/143457-former-pelosi-foe-launches-pac<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Shane D&#8217;Aprile, The Hill Republican John Dennis, who raised some $2.5 million in his 2010 challenge to then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), is launching a political action committee.
