Conservative Activist says Karl Rove is ruining the GOP

I don’t see how anyone could listen to Hannity. He is so annoying.

[TBP]

This isn’t Rove-related, but it’s Establishment related.

News breaks tonight that the NRSC is pulling all money out of Michigan. This comes just as polls show the race there getting competitive. I guess they don’t want to win.

“Hannity gave him 20 minutes of free air time. After that, Lt. Col. Rob Maness, a true Conservative, never caught up.”

So you’re saying Hannity has that much power? More likely conservatives see Maness as a poor candidate.

Sean Hannity is a motor-mouth who only listens when his mouth is closed for longer than 5 minutes.

Karl Rove is Mr. GOP-E.

Here in TEXAS, the “E” in GOP-e is short for ENOUGH!

Rove is horrible for republicans.

Considering the non-action on the IRS, the NSA, Fast & Furious, the invasion, etc. I'd say that Rove is perfect for Republicans.

"Rove has never cared about conservatism and has spent his entire career opposing any Republican who might be successful in promoting or implementing a conservative agenda."

Because he is by no means alone stands the glaring reason I left the Republican Party in January of 2012. Feel so much better. I can't understand how Hannity lets these RINOs in disguise get away with so much and even embraces their agenda!

[ViLaLuz]

Rick Perry? Ha ha ha ha ha ha aaaaaaa

Heck, what about Limbaugh? I mean it's not like I've seen any firestorms of controversy here on FR because he blasted the party of fecklessness.

[bigbob]

And it is that way because the GOP wants it to be that way. Rove is certainly not fighting an upstream battle.

[oblomov]

Karl Rove is the Judas goat of Main Street Republicans.

[arthurus]

Karl Rove IS the GOP. He is a distillation of what the GOP has been since FDR. 50-60 years ago his name was Rockefeller.

I came to the conclusion a long time ago that Sean Hannity is simply not bright. His handling of opposition callers is embarrassing. He righteously misses the point every time and hangs up thinking he won the point when to a third party listener he obviously missed the whole thing and thus did not counter it leaving the lib caller clearly ahead, because Hannity seemingly could not answer him.

Hannity has accepted totally the leftist PC view of Islam and jihadists that they are a tiny minority of an otherwise peace-loving and peaceable religion. He has not read the Koran or, if he has, he just doesn't believe anyone could actually believe the things it says because he can't believe those things and it all seems pretty screwy to him.

And he thinks Rove is the bees' knees. He is not consciously a statist or communist so ergo he is not smart. QED.

"candidates that Rove has stood against, including Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, Rick Perry, Sarah Palin, and Rand Paul. "

I am extremely proud to be able to say that I have voted FOR The first four of those listed above.

He is an Austin @sshole.

Rove is just lucky that the Swiftboaters exposed John Kerry. If not for them, W would have lost in 2004. Yet Rove gets credit for W winning. Rove also never answered all the lies that the Dems told about Bush. There’s no excuse for that level pf incompetence.

[Sicon]

I think he’s giving Rove too much credit: the GOP has done more than it’s fair share to ruin itself.

[CT]

I have a relative that worked for Reagan, and knows Rove. He says exactly the same thing as written here, and has for years. And yes, Rove made Bush into a non-conservative.

[ZULU]

Rove is a virus eating out the heart of the GOP.

[jpsb]

No conservative should ever listen to anything Rove has to say.
