Clashes between Karl Rove and conservatives becoming more frequent
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/27/2011 | Alex Pappas

Democrats have long enjoyed bashing Karl Rove, former White House adviser and architect of the campaigns that put President George W. Bush in office.

But clashing with the longtime Republican operative and Fox News contributor is now catching on for another group: conservatives, especially those affiliated with the tea party movement.

Among the most high profile of these recent attackers are former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and, now, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.

Rove just doesn’t disagree with conservatives, he knows what he is doing. He intentional seeks to damage conservative candidates chances to win in the general election against his fellow liberals.

He is the epitome of the deadly virus of liberalism which has taken over the Republican party.

Should a conservative win the White House Rove, the RNC cesspool and 99% of both Bushes administrations former employees should NEVER be considered for a job in their administration. And I would strongly look at some of the former Reagan administrations members as well for the infection of gone native, that is Washington DC.

A conservative just needs to go to Washington and tell those Party retreads in the words of Cromwell: “you have been sat to long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, i say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!.”

held up a white board listing a number of gaffes Cain had committed in his campaign.

That white board schtick has definitely jumped the shark.

“Look, if you’re running for president, you don’t want to get into a fight with Karl Rove,”

The easiest way to pick a fight with Karl is to espouse conservative principles. Like waving a red flag in front of a bull. An overweight out of shape silly bull.

Bush's first election was a contested squeaker. His reelection was also a squeaker. Compare this to Nixon and Reagans election and reelection. Rove was the architect of defeat but managed to luck out.

Bush was a half loaf president, IMO because of top adviser,Karl Rove. Bush pulled the whole conservative movement to the left. We could have had it all, again IMO, if not for Rove.

We have a lot to learn from Rove and that is that he is a Trojan horse to be dismantled.

If a true conservative commentator free to speak his belief was interviewing Rove, he would hold of a sign of Romney’s flip flops.

I wish Fox actually did have a conservative on now and then. I don’t watch much anymore because RINOS amd elites never say anything new.

You are right, Rove is a Trojan Horse and managed to damage both Conservatives and the GOP with his big spending, crappy big tent illegal immigrants and lack of guts in defending the few conservative policies of the GWB Admin. I despise the toad.

GWB could talk the talk, but couldn’t walk the walk. Consequently, GWB destroyed 4 TRILLION dollars in just 8 years. No preservation of Capital, just destruction, destruction, destruction.

Now we see Karl Rove talking the ta - - - ? Wait a minute, just what is Karl trying to “conserve?” IF he is a Conservative he should at least try to: “1. protect from loss or depletion; preserve.” (according to my dictionary).

Instead, we hear words that are consistent with not being able to walk the walk! Consequently, he is all for the RINO end of The Big Tent.

BTW, maybe GWB should have had a different advisor, you know, someone who can walk AND talk at the same time?

True conservatives have always bashed ROve. He brought us weakness in the face of crisis (W. handling TARP) and likes to pretend he understands the American people. The man is a buffoon

There are many who believe that he cost us three senatorial elections in 2010.

Yep but what he cost us in 06 was the House and Senate. Time some woke up to the fact that he and GW brought us the Obumer.

A conservative just needs to go to Washington and tell those Party retreads in the words of Cromwell:

Many here had hopes that Palin was the one to do just that. The depths of my disappointment that she did not step up is immesurable. I fear now, that a may live to see the death of our Republic. This by the way explains the upsurge in Cain's popularity, that same kind of hope.

Cain and Palin will speak together on Saturday, let's gin up a little wee,wee stuff for the PDS'er. <An unnamed insider source has leaked that Palin will join the Cain ticked as his VP on Saturday

Isn’t ironic that Carl mocks Cain for misspeaking when his own boy’s doozies fill volumes.

Medved just remembered the one where Bush said - People are working hard to put food on their families.

And, as expected, Bozo Hannity announced at the end of Rush’s show that Karl Rove will be on his radio show again today.

Can someone, somewhere explain to me why Hannity continues to provide a platform for Tokyo Rove over and over again?

Tokyo Rove sowed the wind with his trying to destroy the Tea Party and their candidates, now he is reaping the whirlwind. Get used to and learn to live with it.
