The GOP-e marginalized the conservatives in the Republican base and were then surprised and dismayed when their boy Romney lost due to low turn-out.

Learning nothing from that experience, they’re now escalating the attack on conservatives in the party. Would that they would go after DemocRAT opponents with the same fervor.

Unlike DC insiders, conservatives have principles and largely stick to them. I’ve held my nose and voted for the “best” candidate for the last time.

The death rattle of the GOP is audible.

Well....let me tell you about our County Republican Party meeting last night....

While the final results aren’t in yet, I will tell you that the “old guard” is finished.

The losers, who insist on promoting the next flexible candidate, were clearly overrun by those who decided that solid conservatism, and a strong plan were more important.

Don’t ask which county.

Rove reminds me of that guy in Deliverance. We’ll make him Squeal like a pig before this is over.

“Don’t ask which county.”

Why not? You did good. It’s efforts like this that will take back the country from the fascist rats and RINO quislings. You should share your tactics and strategy so others can apply them.

There wasn’t low voter turn out, there was fraud.

That said, if Rove really has that attitude he’s dumb, out of touch. Our main problem is the collective world media is against us. The collective world media seems to disseminate white house talking points, and completely ignores issues that were turned into front page scandals when Bush was president.

We can’t afford to discard, or reject anybody. We have to come together, hopefully unite under our common faith in God, and have a strong consistent, loving message that no amount of propaganda can distort.

That is what Reagan had, a positive, hopeful, and God centered message that never excluded anyone.

I oppose Rove.

I am so opposed to Rove in fact, I may leave the GOP so as to oppose Rove.

Rove has greatly simplified life for me. If he continues involved in the GOP, I will start rooting for a separate Tea Party.

Now.

“Don’t ask which county.”

“Why not?”


Because we have many internal battles ahead and there’s no point at alerting the opposition.

We want to convert and enlist them, not alienate them.

THE BEST discussion on this was by Mark Levin...if you have not heard his comments on Rove you MUST listen to this podcast. Rove is a documented loser in politics, never was a winner. I thought I knew of Rove pretty well, I actually only knew the myth. (Shame in me, thank you Mark).

Here is the link to the podcast: http://www.marklevinshow.com/rss/ilevin.xml

Agreed, Reagan was notoriously respectful of all faiths, and humanitarian. He passed amnesty laws, restored our economy, defeated communism (for a time), and inspired America.

The only thing he had no tolerance for was Godless Marxism, but he confroted it with a smile. He was amazing. Don’t let the DNC, turned Marxists, manipulate us into fighting and insulting each other. It is our country we are fighting for.

Regardless, of our personal beliefs, issues like amnesty, are non issues as Obama is destroying everything that made America work. Remember the big picture. prayers FRiends.

Rove is so wrong on this.

WHATEVER his politics… it’s not his place to censure political expression in this country.

Do you happen to know which day Levin spoke about this? There are several different files on the website you provided.

The Tea Party needs to disconnect Rove, by asking future candidates to officially distance themselves from him and his organization, or be tarred with the same brush.

“They may give you money, but they will cost you votes.”

Rove needs to do some damage control & fast.

He should have Romney do a PC & declare that Rove, like himself, is severely conservative.
