Donations to Karl Rove's Groups Drop 98% after Targeting Tea Party
Breitbart. ^ | 1 Feb 2014, 11:59 AM PDT | Tony Lee

Posted on 02/01/2014 1:12:28 PM PST by RedMDer

After wasting nearly $325 million during the 2012 election cycle with nothing to show for it and then declaring war on the Tea Party, donations to Karl Rove's three Crossroads groups decreased by 98% last year. The groups reportedly raised a paltry $6.1 million combined in 2013.

....

Since then, as Breitbart News reported, "Rove’s organization has been so tarnished among the conservative base that candidates fear donors will not contribute to any group associated with him." Aware of this, Rove's Crossroads network has reloaded with groups that share donors but are technically not affiliated on paper with them.

What is wrong with the other 2%. Are they brain dead?

Maybe they are liberal Democrats trying to help Rove in his war against the tea party.

Hannity needs to be shunned based on his association with the traitor Rove.

"donations ... decreased by 98% last year"

This is good, but it is mostly because because 2013 was not an election year and 2012 was a major election year.

The last 2% are probably from Democrats.

“Yet, Fox News keeps putting the guy on their shows.”
They keep putting him on because he is the so called “Architect” for the republican party. You can ask Rove or Hannity and they will agree that he is brilliant. Ask almost anyone here on FR and you will get the true answer. He is no conservative.

I suspect donations are down across the board for RINO’s and the RNC. They won’t see a penny from me.

Tokyo Rove is the new millennium buggy whip maker. Snap his whiteboard in half.

I got an email fundraising, begging letter from the RNC. How did I get on their list? I have never registered as a Republican, and never will. I wrote them back telling them to get me off their list.

Now its time for Fox News and Sean Hannity to dump Rove. Real Conservatives need to purge the stench of Rove

Annoying is right. Does he still refer to Rove as ‘Sir’? He used to. Another reason I turned him off roughly fifteen years ago.

So far the fat queer architect has designed 2 failed election campaigns in a row, the demise of the GOP, and in his arrogance he has doubled down on stupid and has his sights set on the demise of the tea party even though it's bringing about his own demise.

He is helping to ruin this entire country.

That's not even hyperbole. He is really that big of a pos.
