Karl Rove surprises few in Fla. by picking fight with tea party

No choice but to make tremendous headway towards discrediting Rove & Company by, and in 2014. There has to be massive support for other than the above which is whomever the GOPe selects for us.

TEA Party was a spontaneous movement of Americans against the establishment. It’s time to reactivate that American spirit again, and organize sufficiently to not detract from the spontaneity, but keep up the energy until election 2014.

That’s the only way I can see us winning at this point in time. Otherwise third party, and that breaks up the vote handing a win to the Democrats.

This will save me a lot of candidate research time. Instead of poring over long position statements, I can just look for the Rovian label. I'll instantly know who not to support.

Here’s one article on Rove’s 2012 campaign earnings.... I have no idea if it’s accurate or not.

Good for Rove, but a bit late...or is he?

It would have been nice to have this fight during the primary instead of having the eGOP go progressive and shut down debate. Too bad. Whatever might have came out of that primary discussion could have challenged Team obama on a more open field.

But, you know?..maybe it's better this way and at this time. You know...after they lost. Again.

After their ideas and their approach lost. Again.

What does the eGOP have to stand on other than a record of appeasement, political failure and record spending?

So, now Rove wants to fight about heart and soul? Great! Let's have that fight.

The eGOP's republican party stands for compromise and appeasement. Is that something you want to fight for? Or vote for?

Clearly, the answer has been "NO!!!"

The only way people say yes to that is if they are scared and have no other option, and even that wasn't enough this last time. Loyal Republicans still stayed home!

Rove and ilk are such slimeballs I bet they were not only denying $ and support to their disfavored TP candidates but were probably demonizing them and likely lent some sort of direct support to their DRat opponents. Cannot see ever voting for any Rovian puke candidates again.

“On one side is the Tea Party,” Breitbart.com’s Ben Shapiro wrote in an analysis Sunday. “On the other side stand Karl Rove and his establishment team, posing as tacticians while quietly undermining conservatism.”

There's nothing 'quiet' about it, Ben. It's war.

My how things change.

I remember back around when I joined FR, the mantra here was

Rove you magnificent bastard. Now it’s

Rove you turd. (I agree)

Rove you magnificent bastard.

There.
