I like Rove and don’t like the term “elitist”. IMHO it is a form of envy, reminds me of the envy of the rich or the good looking.
There are conservative republicans, plain republicans, and “moderate” republicans who lean ever so much toward the dems.
These “moderates” are the status quo - the go along to get along bunch.
They are called “elitest” because they believe they have all the answers and they are so entrenched in govt they have forgotten who they work for. They are so “elite” they only care about themselves and not the country.
They’re also the ones who don’t want to make any waves; They don’t want anybody to shake up their power structure. If they are too contrary, they won’t get invited to the dems cocktail parties .. and you know how important that is .. right ..??
I say, the more waves the better. It’s damn time we got some presidents, senators and legislators with some guts and brains. I’m sick and tired of the stinking mess in DC.
