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.

We don’t need Karl Rove when he opposes grass roots conservatism.

Rove doesn’t have a clue. The GOP is doomed to defeat forever without the likes of the Tea Party.

Karl Rove is not a conservative. Neither are his ilk. Including the word “conservative” in this new group constitutes fraud in my book. Karl and the rest of the establishment Republicans(so called)can take a hike!

Note to “moderates”: Just become democrats, you’re helping them now anyway. While you continue to try to moderate the already comatose GOP, the democrats are goose stepping into full on fascism with zero resistance. Why are you allowing this to happen?

Moderates like Karl Rove are the ones promoting this.

We need to return to grass root representation.

Rove has NEVER been a conservative! This morning Ralph Reed was on one of the Sunday shows, pushing amnesty. Rove, Reed and Grover Norquist....who claim the mantle of conservatism in the GOP are LYING TO YOU!!! The truth has been out there forever and you need to stop ignoring it! These 3 have been joined at the hip for decades and been involved in so many nefarious goings on. NO better than the dems!

Carl Rove - incompetence masquerading as irrelevance with great vehemence.

In the NYT’s article, Rove’s group says Steve King, Iowa, could be their first target.

GTH, Rove and company.

But Rove is so pleasant looking, smiling, chubby friendly guy.....

A real live wolf in sheep’s clothing.

The word ‘conservative’ should NEVER appear in ANY article involving Poppin’ Fresh and his band of merry moderates...Tokyo is probably a democrat mole.

What’s the difference between:
Karl Rove behind the wheel of a Chevy Corvette,
and a bristling porcupine backed into a corner?

With the porcupine the prick’s on the outside/

Amazingly Rove himself was very instrumental in getting a candidate for President whose campaign 'went sideways' ~ so why would any rational person want to do anymore political business with Karl?

I doubt any of the people working with Rove and his band of merry idiots could pass a mental health exam to buy a BB gun.
