Elitist Rove Suffers After Tea Party Jihad

If you enjoy seeing an enemy’s nose rubbed in the dirt, you’ll love this story. Remember all of Karl “Tokyo” Rove’s attacks and snide remarks about the TEA party movement? Remember how he worked so hard to defeat TEA party-backed candidates, belittling them at every opportunity? Well, all of that vitriol and bile has come back to bite Tokyo in the ass.

As I pointed out to a congressman,”Madame Guillotine sees only the nape of the neck, not anything else.

Rove is running Mitch McConnell’s campaign now, too.

In a year to year (2012 to 2013) comparison, his Crossroads groups have experienced a message-sending 98% decrease in donations. His take has fallen to just $6.1 million.

I wouldn't make too much of this. 2012 was a Presidential year and 2013 had no elections. A huge dropoff is normal.

Rove is an open borders guy because his old boss George Bush was an open borders guy. It was a NAU idea popular in the 90’s to about 2005 among the elites when the EU was seen as brash and beautiful —rather than the doleful crushing yoke that its seen as today.

Glenn Beck had a section about this yesterday - he already has renamed his organization and has it up and running in Kentucky. I think it was something like Citizens for Responsible Candidates.

That’s what happens.

Openly announcing a war on the tea party was stupid...now proven to be the case.

Well it is understandable because he thought the TEA Party would ‘fold like a cheap suit’ when he didn’t/wouldn’t give backing to R’s he PERSONALLY didn’t like..

JUST LIKE THE GOPe DOES IN THE FACE OF THE DEMS.

Rove basically backed the D’s in DE, CT, NV and VA (amongst others) by NOT backing the R.

Read up on Rove's life.

If he's an "elitist," who isn't?

Nothing against great conservative leaders like Taft, Goldwater, and Reagan, but two of them were born well off and all three of them weren't lowlier than Rove at this point in their careers.

Please stop using "elitist" to mean people who disagree with you.

I don’t think it’s ever dawned on Hannity that Rove hates the Tea Party and vise versa….

you are making a huge mistake here….Rove is a big time elitist. Elitism is not a matter of wealth only or wealth necessarily.

I’m not sure at all where you think you are headed with this.

So far I have yet to see the Tea Party’s ‘magnificent bastard’ who understands electoral politics county by county and who clearly articulates the numbers required to command regional victories and gain political majority. If we are opposed to Rove and his branch of the party, then it seems to me it is necessary to defeat him by studying and somehow replicating his past electoral successes, even though lately the dynamics on which he based his prior assessments have dramatically changed. I too wish he would just go away. But he’s still chasing big $$. Until the conservative arm wrestles away those $$ and coordinates it’s electoral efforts, in a similar manor to Rove, the majority will perpetually elude us. IMHO.

Glenn Beck loves Rand Paul and Rand Paul is endorsing RINO Mitch McConnell for the senate.
