How can Karl Rove be considered a Republican when he literally launches a war against conservatives?

Conservative does not equal STUPID.
My take is Rove is attacking STUPID AKA Todd Akin, Christine O’Donnell, Ken Buck, and anyone like them.
and sorry, but this guy sounds STUPID.
His war is against stupid candidates. And I agree.
Just because someone calls themselves a conservative doesn’t mean they get a pass on being stupid and believing in half-baked notions about race, gender or whatever.
A member of the Aryan Brotherhood might be conservative on economic matters because he hates the government, but when he opens his mouth about Spics, Jews and Mud-people how could you expect decent Republicans to vote for him?
I won’t hold my nose and vote for that type of person because I don’t want him representing me in an election or, God help us, in elected office, even if he can get enough morons to vote for him. That’s why decent Republicans stay home in Senate races like Missouri which was absolutely a lock to be in our hands if we hadn’t had that moron Akins on the ticket.
Time and again, some conservatives make that mistake, overlooking truly abnormal statements and weird ideas of kooky candidates who claim “I’m the most conservative of all”
Statements about witchcraft or ‘rape is God’s plan’ or ideas like that AREN’T conservative at all. They are radical or kooky and we shouldn’t put those people into races which are winnable by conservatives with common sense and intelligence.
You can’t put these half-mad people out front as the face of the Republican conservatism and expect to win, even in red states.
