How Obama Will Win The 2014 Election – With Help From Karl Rove

Rove is a strategist who is always looking for ways to achieve and maintain a Republican majority so the Left can be defeated. Just because you disagree with him over how to do it doesn't make him the enemy.

Wrong Deb!

Karl Rove, and other members of the GOP-E, would rather a Democrat win, if a Ted Cruz candidate actually gets nominated.

Karl Rove represents big-money Corporate Campaign Donor interests only.

He, and the politicians he supports, have proven over and over again that the principles that the Tea-Party believes in and supports are to be sacrificed at every possible turn so that so-called Moderates, or Democrat-Lites, who can be controlled or are also Corporate Campaign Donor puppets can be elected.

Karl Rove, and others like him, are the enemy. They are traitors to the conservative cause.

[SoConPubbie]

Malcontents like you are the bigger threat because you pretend there's a group of perfect conservatives out there and everyone else must be purged.

No, it is traitors and Trojan Horses like yourself that are the biggest threat of all to the ability of Conservatives to win races because you pretend that those that do not share our values, or our principles and who openly advocate against us and our values be it Abortion, Homo-Agenda, Amnesty or whatever, are somehow on our side.

They are not.

An Establishment operator is not an unusual appearance on FR, however, we have been able to step over their body of work for quite some time when it shows up.

We use Rove apologists remarks as red meat for leaving Rove and the Establishment to their own deserved condition on election day. That would be in the LOSS column.

Today, elections aren't won in the middle but on the fringes. It's not about who can appeal to so-called independents (most are aligned with one party or the other, but won't admit it) but who can best identify and mobilize their base. At this, Democrats are particularly adept and Republicans depressingly inept.

It's hard to mobilize your base when you consider them the enemy.

[Zathras]

...No, it is traitors and Trojan Horses like yourself...
That I think is a bit out of line.

[SoConPubbie]

That I think is a bit out of line.

And yet, I don't see a similar post to Deb concerning her characterization of Freepers as malcontents.

Pretty telling.

Look, what does it take?

Of course the GOP is throwing the election ..... employer-paid healthcare plans are not completely dead yet!

Fortune 500 CEO's need the GOP to guarantee them that they will never, ever again be asked to provide health insurance for employees, and can flow those dollars to their bottom lines (after generous deductions for management incentive comp, of course).

The CEO's want Obamacare. They need a program to dump their people off on. It's that simple.

And Rove and Boehner will keep on "getting it wrong" until Sovietcare is the law of the land, and great companies skate free.

[lentulusgracchus]

It is the job of the GOP to make sure that this country is perpetually ruled by Liberals.

DINGGGGG! -- You win a kewpie doll. Which color would you like?

You are delusional to think Rove’s strategy of attacking the base will win elections.

If the GOP does not commit to ending ObamaCare, deporting 100% of all Illegal Aliens, and commit to Border Security/Nat’l Security....they will lose big

Conservative folks will not vote for a liberal GOP...nor will fall for the Liberal “vote GOP so a Dem doesn’t win” nonsense anymore

[Little Ray]

If Rove works to elect “conservatives” like Boehner and McCain, then the choice is Democrat or Democrat Lite. The only difference is that the Democrat Lite party will, as we approach the cliff, let up o the throttle just a little - as long as it doesn’t offend the Democrats too much.

[ripley]

The reason why Progressives might win is because a large part of the electorate loves them, actually loves them.

I think the author has been reading my Commentary at Free Republic.

For several weeks I have pointed out that the Democrat's “income inequality” theme is focused directly on Blacks, Hispanics, immigrants, and poor white women voters.

The turn out for those four groups in off year elections is traditionally very, very bad.

It's a simple math problem.

If those four groups turn out at the same rate that white voters turn out, the Republicans will gain no seats in the Senate, and we will actually lose seats in the House.

In the 2012 election, white voters gave Romney a 59%-39% crushing victory over Obama.

But Mitt Romney, the GOP leadership, and Karl Rove demoralized Conservatives so badly, 4 million of them stayed home.

In 2014, Boehner, McConnell, and Paul Ryan are doing everything possible to demoralize us once again.

If they succeed, more than 4 million will stay home in 2014.

..and not just Karl Rove! GINGRICH: HILLARY WON'T BE STOPPED BY 'NITPICKING SMALLER ISSUES' LIKE BENGHAZI

Gingrich was spot on with this comment, someone needs to take a big ole bite out her hide in order for anything to stick to her, politically. The nitpicking won't even piss her off after a few years.

RE: “65 to 85 million folks are going to find their employer-based healthcare is no longer what it used to be.”

So what?

Besides Ted Cruz and a handful of Tea Party congressmen, there are no - repeat, no - Republicans who publicly advocate repealing ObamaCare.

Boehner, McConnell, and Paul Ryan advocate “Mend it, don't end it.”

Which is exactly what the Democrats will advocate.

Why are people going to vote for fake Democrats, when they can vote for the real ones?

[crusher]

I have said and will continue to say on these pages that if the GOP is seen by its base as facilitating the adoption of invader amnesty, the GOP will cease to be a national party within one election cycle. It will simply go away overnight, and deservedly so.

[Graewoulf]

You nailed it!

Last week, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he expects Republicans to come up with a healthcare plan later this year to replace Obamacare.

[ripley]

It looks like the goose-steppers outnumber the ones whose ancesters fought the goosesteppers.

The stupid party gave us Karl Rove. He opined in the January 15 Wall Street Journal in an article titled: "Independents Will Decide the 2014 Elections: (Debunking the myth that turning out the base alone is enough to win)."
