[A year ago] Karl Rove (allegedly) secretly tried to help Castle win
The Right Scoop and Riehl World ^ | 9-14-10

Posted on 09/14/2010 11:06:10 PM PDT by STARWISE

At least according to this guy, Rove secretly called a meeting with the Delaware Tea Party to try and talk them into supporting the Party…or in this case Castle.

VIDEO

Dan Riehl believes that Fox should suspend Rove:

Fox Should Suspend Rove And Investigate, Cornyn Must Resign:

Especially given his comments on Fox News tonight, until this is resolved, it seems impossible to trust Rove as an objective analyst. In terms of the conservative movement, we should not simply ignore him, but proactively work to undermine Rove in whatever ways we can, given his obvious willingness to undermine us.

From Dan Riehl:

Fox Should Suspend Rove And Investigate, Cornyn Must Resign

Michelle Malkin has a very solid reaction to Karl Rove's disgraceful behavior on Fox News tonight. That is not why Fox should suspend him and investigate. According to this report, Rove was working behind the scenes on behalf of the Castle campaign to negotiate a deal that would have led to some Delaware Tea Party groups not supporting Christine O'Donnell, while giving Mike Castle a pass.

Especially given his comments on Fox News tonight, until this is resolved, it seems impossible to trust Rove as an objective analyst. In terms of the conservative movement, we should not simply ignore him, but proactively work to undermine Rove in whatever ways we can, given his obvious willingness to undermine us.

Additionally, via Michelle, before Christine O'Donnell could even make an acceptance speech, the NRSC rushed out to say they will not support her. Video here via The Right Scoop.

One source I spoke with claims that RNC Michael Steele is purportedly going to go to Delaware to support Christine O'Donnell. As I said earlier on Twitter, the NRSC is dead on the web as far as I am concerned.

@NRSC Cornyn is one of the most incompetent NRSC heads ever. Now you won't support us? You are DEAD on the web ....

I would encourage all grassroots and conservative activists and bloggers to, not just ignore them, but proactively work to run-down whatever web based initiatives they choose to employ until this matter is resolved. John Cornyn should be held accountable and removed from his NRSC position.

He has demonstrated his incompetence several times over and now this. It is time for John Cornyn to go. If the NRSC had decided to not fund O'Donnell that is one thing. But to leak word of it tonight as they did, on the very night of her compelling victory over their preferred candidate, is way over the top. Cornyn needs to resign in disgrace, or be replaced if the GOP establishment wants any cooperation from online bloggers and activists going forward.

Wow .. if true, really loathesome. Shame, shame, shame.

True or not, Rove gave the Dems fodder for any campaign ads against O'Donnell. Stupid, self-serving crap from the "conservative" Republican rah-rah boy.

Didn't he say it took O'Donnell 20 yrs to pay off her college loans?

So, she payed them off. Right, Karl? So, what's the problem? She didn't pay them off as quickly as a person of means, or an insider like you, would have? Did she square it up? Or not?

Unusually crude and uncontrolled, too. BO is not the only thin skinned Lil’ Lord Fauntleroy who is losing it.

No wonder Bush was such a RINO.

Russ Murphy of the Delaware 9-12 Patriots confirmed this last night at the O’Donnell election party.

He said Rove came to Delaware to get the various grassroots to back the GOP, and that he was here to help the grassroots understand how the party works and how to work within the party.

Russ Murphy basically told Rove to go take a hike, and these groups needed no one to tell them how to do anything.

Looks like Rove is the one who needs schooling.

Just another reason to hate the GOP elitists! Bunch of power hungry asshats. Am wondering just why the Republicans should be elected instead of a third party (well know that answer, but maybe in the future)...

Truly disturbing.

I assume it could be proven, not a ‘he said, he said’?

I heard Rove on Hannity’s show on Fox Tuesday night trashing O’Donnell and impugning her character. He talked like he was Al McCarville! BUT, none of us should have been surprised because Rove has NEVER been a true conservative. He’s the one who was responsible for Bush’s pro-illegal amnesty agenda, the huge Big Government prescription drug program and his out-of-control spending. He’s been a phony RINO pretending to be a conservative for years!

I think what put O’Donnell over the top in today’s Delaware election, is the 3 hours of scathing indictment of her opponent, Castle, by Rush Limbaugh. Anyone listening in Delaware to Rush’s program, while at work or elsewhere, when they went to vote after work or in the afternoon, they had a much clearer picture of how they might want to vote. Go Rush. I truly believe you pushed O’Donnell over the top in this election. Thank you.
