Rove Declares War on Tea Party
Big Government ^ | February 3, 2013 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 02/03/2013 10:29:18 AM PST by Bratch

The battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party has begun. On one side is the Tea Party. On the other side stands Karl Rove and his establishment team, posing as tacticians while quietly undermining conservatism.

Yesterday, the New York Times reported that the “biggest donors in the Republican Party” have joined forces with Karl Rove and Steven J. Law, president of American Crossroads, to create the Conservative Victory Project. The Times reports that this new group will dedicate itself to “recruit seasoned candidates and protect Senate incumbents from challenges by far-right conservatives and Tea Party enthusiasts who Republican leaders worry could complicate the party’s effort to win control of the Senate.” The group points to candidates like Christine O’Donnell in Delaware and Richard Mourdock in Indiana as examples of Tea Party primary picks going sideways in major Senatorial battles.

Yup. With Rove as the architect, the GOP Liberty ship is going down like the Titanic. Praying he’s deep-sixed from any leadership status before taking the ship of state down with him.

American Crossroads didn’t do so hot in 2012. Rove was an embarrassment with all the money he spent to get Romney elected. I’m not sure wealthy donors will fall for that again.

Guess Hannity will have to be discredited. He loves Rove and has him on all the time.

The irony. If the GOP would quit picking these inside men as candidates, they wouldn’t have to worry as much about people like O’Donnell. Instead, Rove wants to double down on the policy.

It's time to restart HUAC. However, no rational person alive today takes Marxism seriouly ~ these black politicians who blather that way are using it to suck money out of people like Stuart Mott (remember the old Commie who owned General Motors? ~ now you know why Obama had to save GM ~ to keep up the pretense and keep the Coca Cola money flowing too).

I think i we simply go after thieves we'll be getting rid o those we need to get rid of.

NEW REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE.

I feel your pain. But the diagnosis is terminal. The Republicans replaced the Whigs and now we need to replace the Republican concept. The Union was saved. The slaves are freed. Now we need to save the Republic and the Constitution, which is rapidly deconstructing itself into a Latin-American-style oligarchy.

Eventually, The Two Party System might give way to a 4 or 5 party system. Perhaps we can develop a 6-year, one term Presidency to go along with it. Karl Rove, Ted Cruz, and Jim DeMint cannot rationally co-exist within 1 party. Republicans? Constitutionalists? Democrats? Socialists? Progressives? Right, Left, Center Right, Center Left, Far Right, Far Left?

Drawback? Requires citizens capable of some level of rational thought, knowledge, and action; not the tattooed, pierced, permanent 14-year old adolescent, overweight ani that appear to be the typical gimme-gimme American Wal-Mart Shopper of today.

You’re right! Rove is without principles. Notice he rarely, if ever, mentions God. Dead giveaway. He’s more liberal than anything else and I’ll never forgive him for not blasting back when the lamesteam were coming at President GWB with barrels of ink and airwaves of lies. Rove can GTH.

Rove is a neocon puppet---he does their bidding b/c he deadended after Romney lost----when he dances to their tune, the pukeneos will handover the money he sorely needs.

Rubio is now taking orders from the neocons Rubio just hired an amnesty-loving neocon for his staff. Invasion-crazed neocons want ‘immigration reform’ at any cost because they need impoverished Hispanics as cannnon fodder for future puke invasions/land wars.

Loser McCain is the perrenial puke puppet----the pukeneo prez favorite.

Looks like the pukes have been entertaining at the Four Seasons----Lindseed, Ryan and Newt have also been puke-duped, repeating the current GOP mantra: "I support the Rubio immigration reform plan"

=============================================

The pukeneos never saw an immigrant they didn't want to subsidize with tax dollars---dating back to WW 11. The contemporary Russian trek to the US is s-o-o-o-o profitable, they got Russians pretending they're Jews so they can stop off in Israel first---grab all the US subsidized freebies there---then fly here to sign up to ride the US gravy train. As refugees seeking "asylum from persecution" the US gravy train speeds up----the freebies are tripled.

==================================================

Mmmmm......sure would like to be a fly on the wall at the Four Seasons---where the puke elite meet downtrodden GOP'ers---- over chilled Cristal, imported room temp Brie and water crackers.

Course there's gonna be A LOT MORE puke-invasions and land wars since the pukes duped Bush into invading Iran. Now that the entire 100 million-strong Muslim world is aflame with hatred for the US, Americans, and Christians.

I guess the pukes will have to use darts and a Mideast map to decide which country they want the US to invade next (cackle).

=========================================

Odd isnt it? Fox News got rid of pukeneo pals---Rove and Palin----but Chief Puke Billy Kristol is still a Fox talking head.

REFERENCE Kristol once acknowledged that the NeoCons had successfully purged the isolationists from the GOP and were moving to purge the Realists, especially older realists----Hagel, Scowcroft, Baker, Kissinger, Schultz, Lugar etc.

NOTE:And let's not forget the pukeneos' very fave sport as they squat in the Repub party---kicking social conservatives to the curb.

I agree. The smartest thing the devil ever did was convince the world that he wasn’t real. Well, the smartest thing the communists ever did was to convince Americans that they were beaten. Now, any talk of communists can be dismissed with the wave of the hand and “Oh, are you STILL fighting the Cold War?? We won! Get over it.”

Back online again for a brief moment, and just wanted to drop another note in response to:

“Don’t give up the ship!! We have not yet begun to fight!!”

I cannot see any reason to not contribute whatever one can to this fight. Free Republic is most important in this fight, and we need FR to be open for discussion, and action to happen.

Right now is the best time to send whatever amount of money you can to FR via the donate link, or to the PO box address in Fresno. Freepers have a history of effecting the course of political activities, and Free Republic IS the home of Freepers. Let’s keep the lights on, and the Leftist politicians knees shaking.

You betcha boss!

The Republican party hierarchy:

Rove, Juan Williams, Bill Beckel, Hannity, Romney, McCain, Bill O’Reilly and all assorted anti Tea Party RINOs.

Rove was out at Fox News for a while, he came back in,
Sarah went out.

The GOP-e is on it's last legs as a Conservative party, and has been for some times. Them skinny little legs won't be able to hold that bloated body up forever. (Heh, that kinda makes Rove the poster boy for the GOP)

Karl Rove’s Conservative Victory Project, reason #503 for real conservatives, those who respect our constitutional republic & the TEA Party to form a new, third party.

I agree. Hannity often points out RINO Republicans when they betray us, but never criticizes Rove, who is THE ARCHITECT behind the entire RINO cabal. Rove deserves criticism at every opportunity. He’s f**ked up every national campaign, losing two against the most fake, inept, Marxist moron in the world.

The establishment is DARING conservatives to go third party! I fear that is our only remaining recourse and it carries a risk of heavy losses for both the GOP-e and Conservatives. I pray for a success, but fear that it will entrench the Marxists of the left.

We are truly at a turning point in American History.

I have been a registered Republican for over 52 years..

I will be changing my registration very soon.

To support the Tea Party, I guess I will have to register as Independant.

“I agree. From now on, any so-called conservative publications or websites that give Rove a platform should be discredited.”

He is one of the primary reasons that I haven’t watched Fox News since the election! Rove, O’Reilly and a hand full of others can all KMA!
