KARL ROVE AND THE GOP SOCIALISTS Crossroads, Chamber attack Reaganites.
By Jeffrey Lord – It’s war.
While America was celebrating the holidays, the Wall Street Journal ran a page one story the day after Christmas headlined as follows:
GOP, Business Recast Message Republican Leaders, Allies Aim to Diminish Clout of Most-Conservative Activists
The story said this right up front:
Meanwhile, major donors and advocacy groups, such as the Chamber of Commerce and American Crossroads, are preparing an aggressive effort to groom and support more centrist Republican candidates for Congress in 2014’s midterm elections.
Translation?
Karl Rove (i.e., architect of the American Crossroads SuperPAC), the Chamber of Commerce, and the Washington GOP Establishment have declared war on the Reaganite conservative base of the Republican Party.
Welcome to the 2014 election.
An election which, by all accounts, both historically and in terms of the specifics of President Obama’s sinking ratings, should be a winner — a big winner — for the GOP.
Unless.
Unless there is a deliberate, willful attempt to sabotage the GOP from within. Using the GOP Establishment as a launching pad to ensure that Reagan-style conservatives — the base of the Republican Party — are defeated by Establishment, statist Republicans. Republicans who will in turn so anger the GOP base that the base simply refuses to turn out in November. Thus handing President Obama and the statist forces of Big Government a victory they should never have had and in fact would be unable to earn on their own.
Or? Worse?
The GOP Establishment wins under the ruse of being… honest, they promise, cross-their-hearts-and-hope-to-die… conservative. And then they do the inevitable… the usual… GOP version of the Socialist Deal. Being “realistic”… seeking (Margaret Thatcher’s hated word) “consensus.”

The good thing is have “outed” the SOB for what he really is.
GOP is just another front for new world order.
Their goal is to be just slightly less socialist than the democrats. Then their enablers can come on to sites like this and say ‘well at least they’re better than the democrats.’
I prefer to FIGHT TO TAKE BACK AMERICA!!!!!
“Though art luke warm and I vomit thee from my mouth.”
"Centrists" are just that!! As that, they have and will allow the "miracle of America" to be erased from the minds of current and future generations.
Had the American wilderness been peopled by "centrists," then the Declaration of Independence from the tyranny of King George III would never have been adopted, the subsequent Constitution of 1787 would never have been framed, and America would not have provided a refuge for oppressed peoples from all over the globe!
Are the leaders of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, Crossroads, and all the other GOP-e spokespersons so constitutionally illiterate that they fail to see that America is, indeed, at a "crossroads," and that the tyranny of so-called "progressives," with their determined enforcers merely laugh at their timidity and "centrist" positions while they finish their "transformation" of America from its foundations in liberty into a run-of-the-mill totalitarian, "redistribution" society?
There is no longer any reason why we should remain in the Republican Party. There is just one party, the Republocrat Party. If enough conservatives drop their registration, the Party might begin to listen.
bfl
“the Washington GOP Establishment”
vs
“the Reaganite conservative base”
So here’s the real question: what is the relative size of these two factions?
Guys like Rove are convinced they’re the majority and I’d say they think at least 80% of the GOP are moderates.
Fact is, donors are putting their money where Rove’s mouth is, just as they did in the last 2 Presidential elections. We can piss and moan all we want but unless and until the “Reaganite conservative base” constitutes the majority of the GOP and commands it’s power, money, and influence, we’re not going to win elections or even get conservative candidates nominated.
I wish it were otherwise, but tell me where I’m wrong here...
The key is in the primaries, it’s where the money and the “party faithful” of the machine people (both parties) nominate their handpicked candidates.
Until us conservative minded folk put the bulk of our efforts into primaries the oligarchy will get their preferred candidate in the race near every time, and they have one from each party (i.e. it matters not a whit to them who wins the actual election because they have both sides of it sewed up in the primaries).
If you don’t field right minded candidates and vote in primaries you’ve already ceded the field.
Good point about primaries. We tend to snooze then and then lose later...
Rove is a Big Government Republican.
“Their goal is to be just slightly less socialist than the democrats. Then their enablers can come on to sites like this and say ‘well at least they’re better than the democrats.’”
I heard Ann Coulter on Hannity’s radio show this week. She pretty much said the same thing. “get Republicans into office first, then go after the rats instead of fighting with the base and spending all the campaign money before the general.”
In 2008 I agreed. In 2012 I didn’t agree but voted that way and then showered off the filth. In 2014 moving forward, all I care about is bringing Reaganism back to America. If that means a third party, so be it.
Why should the Republicrats listen to us? They're getting ready to replace us with 30 million newly minted documented Democrat voters from south of the border.
The Constitution is overthrown. More and more, I look to the Declaration for guidance. It's time for what's left of the real America to declare their independence from the USSA.
