I will not accept the legitimacy of any candidate who is acceptable to Karl Rove. Such candidates include Newt, Santorum and Perry apart from Romney. Karl Rove, note this very well: I would rather support NOBODY than support one of the candidates acceptable to you. Why, I would rather support even Ron Paul before I support your candidates!
We know exactly where you stand. You opposed the Tea Party candidates and supported Democrats in the 2010 elections. If you want GOP to get the support of people like me, it is your duty to make sure that Cain gets the nomination. I am tired of the dirty games played by you and your stooges, Perry and Romney. And to the supporters of any of the establishment candidates I have named, just as Karl Rove prefers Dims to Tea Party candidates, I too consider the RINOs to be worse than Ron Paul or the Dims. Get it?
That is not how Rove thinks. He would rather have Obama than lose control of the party. The Tea Party needs to have the same strategy. Better get control of the party than get some RINO into the Presidency.
Started out supporting Sarah Palin and still intend to vote for her.
Tell that to Karl Rove who worked against the Tea Party candidates and ensured that the liberals won those seats.
Not gonna happen if GOP wins the Senate.
Best response so far in this thread!
The press did a number on all the pro-American people candidates. Now we have to pick among establishment stooges A, B, and C.
Open immigration forever!
Yeah, I'm a real sunnuvabitch that way.
We are not morons.
I don't know about "we", but you are making a pretty good case.
We noticed how KArl Rove sabotaged Christine O'Donnell's chances
WE are Anonymous, FEAR US!
your leaders got Murcowski to run as an independent.
Yeah, I'm big time involved is Alaskan politics.
You're funny, post more stuff.
Dance clown, dance!!!
Rove’s a scumbag, but I wouldn’t give him that much power. If too many conservatives say this, he might smarten up and come out and endorse Cain just to send his poll numbers into the tank!
“The Tea Party needs to have the same strategy. Better get control of the party than get some RINO into the Presidency.”
Even if they can’t get control of the party, they need to flex their muscle in this election or the GOP will take their votes for granted. If Romney is nominated, that weakens the influence of the Tea Party, but if Romney gets elected with Tea Party support, it emasculates the Tea Party. Then, the GOP will only do some window-dressing style pandering come election time to get out the vote, and ignore them at all other times. Once they are certain they can count on your votes, they have no reason to do anything to keep your votes.
Sorry. I don’t se ethe logic in your post. I pick my candidates based on my own criteria which is completely independent of what Rove, you or anyone else thinks. I like Cain and Perry.
Yeah in 89. Rove approached him to change parties, since he is a conservative.
The break with Rove/Bush came in 98.
Rove and the Bush cartel hold grudges for a long time. But, the Rove/Bush support of Romney may be due to the fact that GW and Romney were in the same class at Harvard Business. Long standing friendship.
Oh wow.
Who was it that convinced Perry to run as a Republican?
You were not paying attention when it happened.
Your lack of knowledge about who is who in the Rockefeller wing and how many horses are in their stable is not shared by others. Some of us keep political scorecards the way other people obsess over sports statistics.
Absolutely Perry is one of Rove’s stable, but he is supposed to be the back up horse.
He just said tonite that the commercial he made with Pelousy on the Couch was the dumbest thing he ever did
I understand your frustration but ANYONE is a step up from Hussein [see tagline]. This country cannot survive with four more years of Baraq. Think about it this way, this is Baraq's first term, he has to stand for reelection and look at how he's governed this once great country. How will he be governing knowing he NEVER needs to face the voters again?
No, I'm sorry, but I'll hold my nose and vote for Mittens before being a party to reelecting this fraud. McLame was a disaster and an insult to conservatives, but as bad as he is I don't think he could have done as much damage as the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers has done in less than 4 years.
Please rethink your position.
Wrong! No matter what, the Senate can only hold up the SCOTUS appointment for so long. Sure they can filibuster, but eventually pressure from the MSM will get to them. They'll be painted as obstructionists by the press. Sure conservatives will understand, but the average fool won't. Eventually the senate will cave , maybe they'll feel they're passing on the least offensive of Baraq's picks, but that pick will be a radical just the same. In the end Hussein will get his rubber stamp court and we'll get the shaft.
Perry says what people want to hear...he will not follow their advice.
We did that with McCain and got Obama...never again.
