It’s scary when I have to agree with Karl. OK folks, I’m going along for the ride, but heaven knows where we’re going to be 60 days from now ...

I wish this guy would Rove on over to the Democrat party, and work his magic for them for a while. Check that. He’s already been working his magic for them, but it sure would be refreshing to see him do it under their banner for a change.

Several factors are contributing to American Crossroads’ lower profile this year. Donations to the super PAC are down in the off year. Through the first six months of 2013, it raised $1.86 million. During the same period in 2011, it raised $3.93 million. After Mitt Romney’s defeat and losing 11 of 13 Senate races it spent money on in 2012, big donors are less willing to pony up.

"Who is Karl Rove?"

He's an Obamacare-Détente Republican.

Is there any surprise the Rove-Romney conservative-backstabbers
would not be out to defend RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE?

From the man who lost every race he was involved in for the 2012 election.

Rove is exactly what Hannity calls him: The Architect (of Defeat).

If Karl objects and poo-poos it, it’s probaby a ‘good thing’ for ‘we the people’ and a bad thing for RINOs, whose primary objective is to get re-elected and stay in office as long as possible.

Nope. Not selling out.

You’re wrong Karl!!!

The House will vote on a replacement healthcare bill TODAY!

They are passing a CR that does not fund O’Care.

If the Senate and President don’t sign it, THEY are responsible for the shutdown!

Why don’t you get on board?!?!?!

This is a coordinated attack by the “Me Too” Republicans on Cruz and Lee and the Tea Party using “defunding” as an excuse.. In Wisconsin it’s being led by Shawn Duffy WI 7th who went on Milwaukee’s WTMJ am 620 Charley Sykes am show to fire away at Cruz specifically. BTW Sykes in the past supported Romney and blasted away at Herman Cain until he pulled out during the 2012 primary.

Unless House members lived under a rock they knew full well whatever they did in the House very likely would not be supported in the Senate.

The history of the “Me Too” Republicans term goes back to FDR times when the late publisher of the Chicago Tribune Col McCormack an anti progressive would editorialize against Liberal Republicans advocating slightly different approaches to FDR policies and call them “Me Too” Republicans
