Conservatives Declare War on Karl Rove
Business Insider ^ | 11/5/2012 | Grace Wyler

Posted on 12/05/2012 10:50:34 AM PST by katiedidit1

Grassroots Republican operatives and Movement conservatives are quickly turning against the GOP Establishment in the wake of the party's expensive defeat this election cycle.

Republicans we spoke to this week voiced a near-universal disgust with the national Republican Party leaders and Washington political class, who are seen as having put personal financial interest above winning the election.

Anyone that pretends that they didn’t understand exactly what he ment by that is a lying jerk.

So .. most of the women who were offended, probably about a quarter of the US population are just lying jerks.

Way to win an election. Get your electorate steamed at you.

Look, buddy, talking up rape in technical terms that most people can't comprehend is a sure-fire LOSING tactic. Akin should have known that most people haven't read the dozens of technical PhD-level papers that deal with minute levels of this or that hormone that you have.

Running on that platform will lose every time because the Average Person looks at "rape" and says, "That is a horrible thing and must be punished" and that is the top number one visceral reaction to it.

ANYONE who tries to put a "legitimate" spin on RAPE deserves to be slaughtered by the electorate.

Anyone who tries to defend people who talk about "legitimate rape" deserves to be fried as well.

Rove is struggling for relevance when he doesn’t have any.

Numerous learned papers assert the same things Akin said, and supply proof, beyond the anecdotal proof that also supports Akin.

"learned papers"

lol

People are still defending Aikin after the moron lost the election specifically cause of his idiotic comment?

Anyone that does is beyond help.

Akin lost for two reasons:

1. The GOPe worked against him.

2. Union and DNC fraud just like hit Romney.

His comment was factual, whether you like it or not.

“Are we rattling the establishment’s cage?”

Yeah. The problem remains that we are the ones inside the cage.

Not only that but they are running around accusing anyone who didn't take his idiotic comment "as was intended" a lying idiot.

I'm afraid that level of stupid cannot be corrected.

Not seeing how Akin meaning "genuine" rape would have been any better.

Akin’s statements are correct, although politically incorrect.

So the ones that get pregnant are just dirty sluts that had buyer's remorse the day after?

Karl Rove is the first to be sent to the Gulag. He will not be the last. It is time to remove the RINOs once and for all. They are truly evil and are aiders and abettors of the socialist/Marxist Donkeys.

No, more likely, they simply lied about the rape for revenge.

Your man Rove didn’t JUST go after Akin..he went after Newt, Santorum, Perry and the rest to manipulate Romney as the candidate. Rove used his position on Fox news to push his own agenda. He went after the Tea Party too...he can go to hell.
IF you prefer to make this all about Akin..check out Akin’s voting record and his refusal to support No Child Left Behind and Medicare D ..the Roveiacs are still angry about that one.

Sometimes all you have is God...we are at that point now. I am overjoyed that Rove is gone...he was a moderate at best and a control freak.
Worst primary season EVER.
