When a person amasses too much power, they often believe they are indestructible.
What Karl Rove and company did last week in the New York Times, claiming that their new “Conservative Victory Project” would cure the ills of a disappointing campaign cycle, is laughable. The so-called “Conservative Victory Project” is nothing more than an attempt by establishment Republicans to cull the conservative movement. Why does Rove think he has a monopoly on wanting to win?
At least Karl Rove and company are finally out front with their disdain for the conservative movement, and I am thankful for it. The battle lines are finally drawn, and conservatives should look at the New York Times article as our Lexington and Concord. This battle will be a long, hard slog against the establishment. Just this week, a Rove henchman attacked conservative leader Brent Bozell. But we will prevail, because we actually believe in core principles and a cause greater than our egos and money.
Karl Rove and his cabal would sell out on any issue if it means more power in the short-term, for they don’t stand for anything. Let’s just look at Rove’s record of accomplishments for Big Government causes. Rove supported the fiscally crippling expansion of Medicare, the anti-free speech McCain-Feingold campaign finance act, and the plan to reward illegal behavior when it comes to immigration reform. Under Rove’s watch, federal spending was out of control. Rove is no conservative; his decisions are made free of principle, with the deciding factor always being how he and the failing establishment try to cling to power.
America is in trouble. Supporting candidates who are willing to come to Washington to increase our national debt will only hasten our decline.

You are right about Lugar. Such a pathetic,poor excuse for a man.... I haven’t voted for him in years. Mourdock well, he opened his mouth and shot himself in the foot. Hopefully in the next election we can get the seat back. I don’t know who would be a good choice. Indiana wants conservative, the RNC doesn’t care. I back the TP candidates, but they need to get the word out more.
The “electable” Romney wasn’t even competitive in the “moderate” states like WA, OR, MD, or VT. Not even in his native MI
Washington and Oregon aren’t “moderate”. They are liberal (Dem) on the west side and conservative on the east side. Which leaves nothing for Romney.
Yep,
Romney would have been better than this obammy clown.
But Romney was still garbage.
A big gub mint “quasi liberal”.
Hey, let’s go along to get along cause everyones making lots of money???
Crappola.
About 70 percent of gub mint is crappola and a drain on society. Get rid of it.
Romney was NOT the perfect anything, but IMO a business man who knows how to run a business when we have a country spending like drug addicts would have been an OK option at this time.
Obama never was a good option, he is going socialist/communist/country/culture destruction at full speed.
fishtank, a long time ago I worked for Texas Instruments in Cyprus N.W. Houston.
It’s not just the Bush’s, it is the Clintons, Kennedys, Cuomos, Rockafellers, etc and all the other horse crap families that think politics is their families bidness.
Get these know very little a holes out.Cripes.Jeb is thinking of running?
Hillary is thinking of running?
Wouldn’t be a bit surpried if the libs tried to get the fat ass moocher to run next too.

My dad was from Jeffersonville.
Rubio seemed real good until about a year ago he refused to state his immigration stance. Right then and there I knew while attractive he was going to push amnesty.
puke.
Soooo, how’s winter so far? About 81 with a N.W. breeze of about 6 mph today here.
It’s time to take our party back from the GOPe. Everyone on FR should become active in their local GOP if are not already. Complaining is not enough.
It’s looking more and more like the GOPe is more interested in keeping conservatives out of power than putting Republicans in power.
Tokyo Rove.
Excellent analysis—especially about Vermont and Maryland.
Sarah Palin’s picks won—Rove’s lost.
And this was such a critical election year.So much damage could have been avoided had the GOP won these Senate seats.
If Rove worked for the Dems, he could not have done better.
Excellent point. I remember when Steffie asked that question, my reaction was "WTF?"
Karl Smallberries
There. Fixed it.
Voting is not enough. All conservatives need to be involved in the Republican Party. It is the only way we are going to nominate actual conservatives.
Michael Medved had Karl Rove on his program today. It was a regular lovefest, and it also became clear that Marco Rubio is the anointed candidate of the GOP elites.
Rubio is the next Bush.
Would Idaho be interested in annexation to the west? /sarc
If I were to join a Republican committee I would be obliged to support RINO candidates.
I don’t object to people running for Republican committees and getting elected, but be ready to resign and support a third party if the GOP primary results in a RINO ticket.
Some conservatives need to organize third party activity to remind the GOP of the consequences of RINO candidates being forced on conservatives in a primary or caucus.
VOTE FOR AUTHENTIC CONSERVATIVES WHO WILL DOWNSIZE GOVERNMENT AND IMMEDIATELY BALANCE THE BUDGET, OTHERWISE THE FINANCIAL DOOM OF THIS NATION IS SEALED.
I would like to see Tea Party groups pick the third candidate ahead of the GOP primary and have that person at least not registered to vote as a Republican so they qualify to be an independent or third party candidate.
The first conservative candidate will contest the RINO in the GOP primary with the GOP knowing if they push the RINO through the primary another conservative will be waiting to contest the general election against them.
Conservatives will never vote for RINO’s under any circumstances again.
