Seeking to unify anti-tea party forces, Rep. Peter King today will form a new political action committee, “American Leadership PAC,” to promote an alternative to staunch conservative Republicans such as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Rand Paul, R-K.Y., he told ABC News in an interview.

“I want to create a presence for those like myself who feel Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are out of touch with the American people,” King, R-N.Y, said. “This is highlighted by the government shutdown, which was one of the worst political disasters we’ve ever had.”

“It’s basically to meet Republicans and find others who share my views,” said King, who refers to Republicans of his ilk as “blue collar conservatives.”

King, 69, also told the New Hampshire Union Leader that the PAC is “going to be a vehicle to enable me to help build a stronger Republican Party and work with Republicans that I feel I have more in common with.”

1. I welcome Republican money fighting Republican money. I just hope that the strongman

that emerges from this melee is not Ted Cruz.
