It’s interesting to note.
Starting to appear, the reason for much of GWB’s dumb ideas - such as referring to his own most enthusiastic supporters as “vigilantes”.
Apparently may have been: Karl Rove. The guy is a one-man wrecking crew.
I’ll agree with you that Rove appears to be incredibly tone deaf! Hopefully the tea-party movement keeps gathering steam and we can teach the Washington masters a thing or two about providing responsible governance vs pandering to the masses!
One other thought...
Steele has not been impressive overall for his term as head of RNC. But the last couple of months he has been awesome!!! too bad he has not been this dynamic his entire term. But lots of credit for coming on strong late.
