Don’t Buy Karl Rove’s B.S.

According to writers Steve Peoples and Thomas Beaumont, “Groups such as American Crossroads [run by Karl Rove] and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce no longer are willing to risk major investments on hard-line conservatives who embarrassed GOP leaders last fall and rattled the confidence of party donors. Many remain concerned after last month's government shutdown highlighted Republican divisions.”

Jonathan Collegio, a spokesman for Rove’s Super PAC American Crossroads, told Peoples and Beaumont that the reason is, "Unlike previous cycles, we won't be sending good money after substandard candidates with weak campaigns."

This is pure B.S. – the big business-oriented Republican establishment Super PACs didn’t support “hard-line” conservatives in the 2012 election cycle – they were mostly for the losing establishment Republican candidates in the GOP primaries.

The good news for limited government constitutional conservatives is that the numbers show that the Republican establishment’s money advantage is eroding.

As Michael Patrick Leahy reported in an incisive article for Breitbart, that in the first half of the year the two major Tea Party oriented Super PACs – the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund super PAC and the TeaPartyExpress.org PAC raised more than Rove’s three PACs combined.

In contrast, Leahy reported, “the two leading Tea Party political action committees--the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund super PAC and the TeaPartyExpress.org PAC--took in more than $4.1 million combined during the same period. The Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund raised $2 million and the TeaPartyExpress.org PAC raised $2.1 million. Both groups also had plenty of cash on hand as of June 30, 2013, the end of the reporting period. The Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund had over $600,000 in cash, and the TeaPartyExpress.org PAC had over $800,000 in cash.”

Rove Aide Calls Bozell ‘Hater’ with ‘Weird Axes to Grind’

When given the opportunity to rebut the sharp criticism leveled Tuesday by Brent Bozell directed at Karl Rove, Jonathan Collegio of Rove’s American Crossroads might have made things worse, if not personal. “Bozell is a hater and he also has a long sordid history hating Karl Rove. He has weird personal axes to grind,” said the spokesman for Rove’s influential Super PAC.

yes and no. Christie has said nothing bad about Obama. true.
However his reputation is of one who is not afraid to take on the unions and get in your face if you oppose him. He had a whole bunch of video’s on youtube a while back to display his combativeness.

[entropy12]

Obviously you prefer to live with Obama as your leader over RINO’s. What is your education level?

[who knows what evil?]

I have met people that are ‘in it for the money’...’creepy’ is the best way to describe them.

[GeronL]

I prefer conservatives over liberals whatever letter they put in the brackets

[entropy12]

Are you even aware you have helped elect the Acorn lawyer and community organizer as our president, king and messiah?

Or are you like an ostrich pretending everything is alright?

[GeronL]

I didn’t help elect any one

[right way right]

You Suck.

[grania]

The problem, reduced to simplest terms, is that there cannot be a meeting of the minds. The Republicans are either the Party of Greed or the Party of Constitutional Conservatives. We’re way past compromise.

BS. It’s called having principles, something you seem clueless about. Don’t come here and tell people their conservatism is the problem. Liberalism has ruined the GOP and your blind support of anything or anyone with an R next to their name has encouraged the Karl Rove’s of the world to the point where they/you now hate conservatism and conservatives. You stink.

[entropy12]

As usual you missed the whole point. And may be you live in Rio Linda so I will explain it again. I follow the wisdom of the best president in 20th century...Ronaldus Magnus Reagan.
His voting philosophy was “I will vote for the most conervative candidate who has the best chance to win”.

Since you might be from Rio Linda, that means not necessarily the most conservative, but an electable conservative. Your so called principles get us the likes of Obama, McCaskill, Coons, Joe Donnelly. How does that serve your “principles”? But people like you will never understand the real life. So why do I bother!
