Club for Growth, a top conservative advocacy group, urged House Republicans Tuesday to oppose the clean debt-limit increase proposed by House Speaker John Boehner and warned that there was “something very wrong” with the House GOP leaders.

The group said it would include members’ votes in its final legislative scorecard.

“When we heard that House leadership was scheduling a clean debt ceiling increase, we thought it was a joke. But it’s not,” the group said. “Something is very wrong with House leadership, or with the Republican Party. This is not a bill that advocates of limited government should schedule or support.”
