Conservatives Declare War on Karl Rove

[katiedidit1]

Grassroots Republican operatives and Movement conservatives are quickly turning against the GOP Establishment in the wake of the party's expensive defeat this election cycle.

Republicans we spoke to this week voiced a near-universal disgust with the national Republican Party leaders and Washington political class, who are seen as having put personal financial interest above winning the election.

It seems odd to me, that people hold Rove to account for “destroying the brand” (or whatever—you know what I mean), but give a pass to Akin for doing the same. Granted, one is not a politician, but still.

Simple tribal politics based on religion and not color.

David Lane, a powerful evangelical kingmaker and conservative operative

No danger signs there.

If Bonehead B*llless Boehner is Ldr of the Louses next election, the repulsicans can expect no donations from me.

Looks like Fox has finally deep sixed Tokyo as well as Dick Morris.

[Socon-Econ]

The usual circular firing squad bs and search for a scapegoat.

Truth is the NATION itself has moved significantly to the Left——we are now a nation of takers,

****************

Yes, the Nation has moved to the left, but we could still be doing better and would do so by getting rid of the RINOS. Right now, we need to be doing what is right even if we lose. What we have going for us is that leftism does not work. The Nation will have to change or go down.

I will never vote for any Democrat and I will never again vote for a Republican Presidential Candidate.

Anyone who talks about “legitimate rape” is an idiot.

Read PPP reports Herman Cain out polls Chambliss.

Nice.

I would sniff and smirk at the source, PPP, except they kicked our go-to pollster crowd, from here to kingdom come.

[Gaffer]

I don’t care who it was from. If Herman goes agains Saxby, he’s got the max contribution I can give him. I want that bastard Chambliss GONE!

[RitaOK]

You have to be kidding. A single stupid remark hardly outweighs solid conservative credentials, and it hardly deserves the total orchestrated abandonment of said conservative in exchange for a Marxist supporting Marxist.

Take it elsewhere. I think Rove has a website you might like.

[RitaOK]

Yes!

[NELSON111]

The RNC called me last week looking for money to "fight Obama." I told them to relay this message: GO POUND SAND. Not another DIME from me as long as the GOP-E trashes the tea-party and the base. Not another dime from me until they stand up for REAL conservative principles. Then I told them I was changing my party affiliation and they would be lucky if they ever got another vote from me again. If that means democrats win...SO BE IT. I would rather get stabbed in my chest than in my back.

I can only hope others are doing the same.

It seems odd to me, that people hold Rove to account for “destroying the brand” (or whatever—you know what I mean), but give a pass to Akin for doing the same. Granted, one is not a politician, but still.

One was just a guy running for a Senate seat, the other is a major architect of republican politics who has been structuring and shaping the party in his anti-conservative image for years and doing irreparable damage to the party and costing us elections and political victories and continually moving the party left.

Part of the rino strategy is to use minor names to try and conceal the disaster at the top, Rove, Rinos, and Romney pulling off a national defeat when facing Carter's second term.

I doubt it, I can't stand the prick.

[RitaOK]

Anybody whose self righteous preening precedes his casting stones at a conservative for a gaffe, is an idiot, and also a pinko.

You got your Marxist senate majority. You got your Marxist Obama lackey, the socialist Rove pick, Marxist McRascal. Be happy at DU.

[editor-surveyor]

You’re the idiot.

Numerous learned papers assert the same things Akin said, and supply proof, beyond the anecdotal proof that also supports Akin.

[TexasFreeper2009]

when Reagan who two MASSIVE landslides... I don’t remember the left giving up and moving to the right on any of their positions.

They simply said what they always say when they lose. Their message just didn’t get out.

Face it, the conservative message just was not articulated properly by a now obviously flawed candidate. And that is the sole reason we lost. Conservatism was NOT rejected, Romney was.

[RitaOK]

Oh? Can’t stand Rove?

Well, he likes you. You’re just the type of deep analytical thinker he’s for.

[ansel12]

There is no circular firing squad in terms of Mitt Romney, he was plainly a disastrous candidate, of epic proportions.

Not only did the GOP and the nation lose the presidency and return Carter II, the GOP will have years of work to do to repair the damage that Mitt’s gaffe ridden and anti-conservative campaign caused, the question is, can conservatives recover from Romney, or has he permanently moved the party left and branded it with his ‘awkward loser’ image as incompetent and irrelevant.

>> “Anyone who talks about “legitimate rape” is an idiot.” <<

.
Anyone that pretends that they didn’t understand exactly what he ment by that is a lying jerk. Akin’s statements are correct, although politically incorrect.

I’ll take Akin over your politically correct tyranny any day.

[editor-surveyor]

.
Bull$hit!

The truth is that Romney got the votes to win, but was not willing to protect those votes. Fraud wins when the honest are powerless to uphold the law.
