Do you want me to be a shapeshifting, backstabbing RINO like you?"

GOPe keeps losing.
Toss Rove.
I think they are.
After all, why try to destroy what they don’t fear?
It should also be noted that the GOPe seems to be the libs newest best friend.
Toss Rove out, and use the GOP.
Or keep Rove there, and use another party.
That appears to be what is shaping up. Soon it will be time to choose.
> Klein: The GOP Establishment Is Not Afraid Of The Tea Party Anymore
That’s only because they have a very short memory and an even shorted attention span. 2014 is coming sooner than they think and there will be many in the GOP who will be replaced.
The GOP has been moderated into a coma and Karl Rove is pinching the feeding tube as the democrats happily goose step their way to full on fascism.
Why is that Karl? Are you some kind of double agent or something?
We certainly seem to be hurtling towards a repeat of the great Canadian C-CRAP fiasco of the 1990’s.
I think it is quite clear that the country club RHINOS are in it for their own personal enrichment.
Bond: "What do you want?

Backstabber RINO Rove: "No, Mr. Bond. I want you to die."
Follow the money.
Nuff said.
Outstanding example thanks!
(um... er ... ah?)
Could we Americans bother you please for some background?
Why should they be? The Tea Party doesn’t vote Republican any more. The GOP can keep their little Old Boys Club and their 25% of the vote intact. :)
Rebrand time. The patriots who rebelled against the British became the patriots who declared independence from tyrannical government.
Yes, millions sitting home to avoid candidate Romney shows that the base is not needed. Way to go, DC idiots. Way to go.
Oh, and thanks for Tommy Thompson, George Allen and COnni Mack, too.

JournoList
In February 2007 Klein created a Google Groups forum called “JournoList” for discussing politics and the news media. The forum’s membership was controlled by Klein and limited to “several hundred left-leaning bloggers, political reporters, magazine writers, policy wonks and academics”. Posts within JournoList were intended only to be made and read by its members. Klein defended the forum saying that it “[ensures] that folks feel safe giving off-the-cuff analysis and instant reactions”. JournoList member, and Time magazine columnist, Joe Klein added that the off-the-record nature of the forum was necessary because “candor is essential and can only be guaranteed by keeping these conversations private”.
The existence of JournoList was first publicly revealed in a July 27, 2007 blog post by blogger Mickey Kaus. However, the forum did not attract serious attention until March 17, 2009 when an article published on Politico detailed the nature of the forum and the extent of its membership. The Politico article set off debate within the Blogosphere over the ethics of participating in JournoList and raised questions about its purpose. The first public excerpt of a discussion within JournoList was posted by Mickey Kaus on his blog on March 26, 2009.
In addition to Ezra Klein, members of JournoList included, among others: Jeffrey Toobin, Eric Alterman, Paul Krugman, Joe Klein (no relation to Ezra Klein), Matthew Yglesias, and Jonathan Chait.
On June 25, 2010, Ezra Klein announced in his Washington Post blog that he would be terminating the JournoList group. This decision was instigated by fellow blogger Dave Weigel’s resignation from the Post following the public exposure of several of his JournoList emails about conservative media figures.
Klein had justified excluding conservative Republicans from participation as “not about fostering ideology but preventing a collapse into flame war. The emphasis is on empiricism, not ideology”.
Klein is married to Annie Lowrey, an economic policy reporter at The New York Times.
******
In December 2009, Klein wrote an article in the Washington Post, stating that Senator Joe Lieberman was “willing to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in order to settle an old electoral score”, because Lieberman “was motivated to oppose health care legislation in part out of resentment at liberals for being defeated in the 2006 Connecticut Democratic Primary”.
I remember him going ballistic on Christine O'Donnell after she beat HIS candidate (how dare she?), I think he's got some burr under his butt about the TEA party's wins against him in the past. I lost any confidence in him when he had his week long melt down concerning her. He did the very thing he used to hate, dividing the party rather than uniting behind the winner. It's what he's doing now.
The sad part about this is the unfortunate fact that we don't have the numbers to beat back the democrats without the GOP and the TEA party coming to an accommodation. He's simply destroying that possibility.
Obama Meets With Liberal Journalists
Monday, October 22, 2012
President Obama had some prominent liberal journalists over for coffee, ABC’s Jake Tapper reports (“POTUS has Coffee with Progressive Media Stars“).
An all-star list of progressive and liberal media folks came to the White House today to chat with President Obama over coffee in the Roosevelt Room.
The group chatted with the president about economic messaging, his agenda for 2012, the various campaign arguments against different GOP candidates, the desire among some Democrats for him to highlight his foreign policy accomplishments, fighting corporate influence and the “crappiness” of the Senate filibuster , as one attendee put it.
Those there included the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein and Greg Sargent, MSNBC anchors Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, and Chris Hayes, the Nation’s editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel, the New York Times’ Frank Bruni, and stars of the interwebs Arianna Huffington, Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo, Faiz Shakir of ThinkProgress and Joy Reid of The Reid Report.
