The battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party has begun. On one side is the Tea Party. On the other side stand Karl Rove and his establishment team, posing as tacticians while quietly undermining conservatism.
Yesterday, the New York Times reported that the biggest donors in the Republican Party have joined forces with Karl Rove and Steven J. Law, president of American Crossroads, to create the Conservative Victory Project. The Times reports that this new group will dedicate itself to recruit seasoned candidates and protect Senate incumbents from challenges by far-right conservatives and Tea Party enthusiasts who Republican leaders worry could complicate the partys effort to win control of the Senate. The group points to candidates like Christine ODonnell in Delaware and Richard Mourdock in Indiana as examples of Tea Party primary picks going sideways in major Senatorial battles.
enjoyed your input, hope you buy the book!
There’s plenty to learn from the Akin debacle, which was about a lot more than just that one comment, though that one was beyond stupid.
Okay...an interesting view....make your case. Thanks
This might be the top Rove analysis....

People who go off the deep end like that are impossible to reason with. And they forget Reagan is dead and Jesus is not running.....
Rove= The embodyment of the Einstein insanity equation. This Judas goat is where he is at because he serves well the hyphenated party known as the Demo-Coms .
While he should be exploiting that hypenation within the democrat party wants to furthur hypenate the party he alledges to belonng to.
Any body funding someone who allows his boss GWB to be portayed a loser then run the GOPES 2012 senate candidates campaign which wound up all losers should remember that equation..HE IS A LOSER !
Calling Rove a slut demeans working girls.
But you must realize Rovian candidates are seen as conservative and equally embarrassable by the MSM. Or if not equally, since there are slight exceptions like McCain (when he isn’t running against Obama), the difference is marginal. Take the quintessentially Rovian Pub, Bush the Younger. While no particular soundbite sunk his career, the MSM was indefatigable in reporting his everyday “gaffes,” real and imagined. The media malpractice in introducing America to Sarah Palin was uniquely blatant. However, when you think back to the last guy in her position, Dick Cheney, if the treatment was different (stupid versus evil, respectively) still it wasn’t electorally propitious.
My point is there’s no reason to prefer Rove’s handpicked candidates to Tea Party types on the issue of conservative mouth-watching.
Yes it does. And they actually deliver for their customers.
Excellent observations.
Tublecane was a cunning (excellent) worker in metals.
You are excellent student of these issues.
Meanwhile ignoring the GOP-establishment picks of John McCain and Mitt Romney that went sideways in the Presidential election.
I don’t think it was about more than the one comment. Certainly it didn’t launch a larger debate. Even those inclined to agree with him on the rape exception let him dir instead of being pulled under by the drowning man.
Conservatives beg for their leaders to enforce the law and defend the Constitution and the GOP boot shiners say that we are being unrealistic and is akin to demanding the Second Coming. It's a broken record and it isn't going to sell anymore. The GOP and their liberal RINOs can go jump in a lake.
Dear Karl,Thanks for your help with those pesky Teabaggers.
I You !

” and since he firmly ensconced at FOX News (ala Hannity), he get all kinds of credibility.
Pathetic.”
Don’t count on it.
“Slut” is not synonymous with hooker. Sluts give it away for free, which is a perfect description of Rovian Republicanism, “it” being our national birthright.
You are having a childish temper tantrum, and creating straw situations, and impugning the motives of those who disagree with you...just like a typical liberal idiot.
Rubio versus Crist versus Kendric Meek was the issue in the last election that he ran in, and even on the issues you disagree with Rubio about (and I know what it is, and I know exactly what unrealistic planet you come from on this issue) - but even on that issue, Rubio is closer to your position than either of the other two who were running against him.
I know, reality gets in the way doesn’t it? Sorry about that, I don’t like a lot about the current realities, but they are the current realities nonetheless. And I didn’t cause it either.
I've no idea where you are going exactly, but it was indeed about a lot of issues, not the least of which was a Republican winning on the strength of Democrat voters as a ruse, a guy hiring his entire family as paid members of his staff, a guy pretending to be the anti establishment guy, pretending to be Tea Party and claiming his entire problem was establishment persecution....and on and one. His entire campaign was a lie and a disaster and I hate to break it to you, but the phrase "Senator McCaskill" means we all damned sure were pulled under by this drowning, arrogant, selfish man.
Country Club Republicans give the party a bad name. They have little understanding of the middle class and the libertarian branch of the party. Their championship of the rich is an embarrassment, their understanding of “women’s issues” is nil and they are way too hawkish in a modern time that is sick of war.
Did....looking forward to the read!
