You make my point for me. You can’t stand to even be challenged. You can’t even engage in civil discourse. I’m as conservative (at least) as you are, and I even support your candidate, even though I have some reservations about her. I haven’t challenged a single one of the principles she’s running on. I went to Washington with my family last year to attend the Tea Party in September.
I’m merely pointing out that I can understand Rove’s reaction, to a degree.
But that’s just not good enough for you. We haven’t even won anything yet, and you’re ready to purge the ranks. You even resort to name calling.
This is an off-year election with the ruling party unpopular and in trouble, where enthusiasm and turnout will be decisive. But if you’re ready to jettison the entire Republican establishment, that’s going to be a problem in 2012. What do you think you’re going to replace it with? You don’t want Rove. You must really hate Krauthammer now, as well, since he voiced the same concerns as Rove. Those are two pretty big, pretty effective voices for conservatism that you are ready to cast aside over a single marginal candidate. I guess the NRO folks are out, too.
But, hey your “POS” diatribe will take up all the rhetorical slack, I’m sure...
How can you understand Rove’s reaction?
He is a political operative, whose job is to influence the outcome of elections.
And he is doing his best to do just that, and stop O’Donnell in her tracks. Rove is worthy only of scorn for that. He is purposefully trying to throw the election for the GOP in Delaware.
He pitched a temper tantrum and said, “if I don’t get my guy, I’m going to scorch the earth!”
But he did it AFTER the votes were counted.
He’s not stupid. He knew what he was doing.
And that is why if you understand it and sympathize with him, then you are as contemptable as he is.
