GOP strategist Karl Rove says the GOP could lose the Senate majority unless the party’s base of supporters volunteer more time and cash to the establishment’s preferred candidates.
The GOP will win a Senate majority “only… if Republicans open their wallets to candidates whom they may have never met, and… clear their calendars to volunteer to identify and get out the vote,” Rove wrote in Wall Street Journal op-ed.
The GOP needs the base’s support even though the public is rejecting Democratic politicians, said Rove, who was nicknamed “the architect” when he helped President George W. Bush win the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections.
“The president’s job approval numbers are lousy, no Democrat in a competitive Senate race polls regularly above 50%… independents are trending Republican [and] the midterm environment is terrible for Democrats,” he wrote. ”Yet each passing day provides evidence [that] a GOP Senate majority is still in doubt,” because Democrats have more cash than Republicans.
“It is unfortunate that the ‘architect’ fails to see that the thing holding back the GOP is not money, but its failure to connect with the working class even as the Democrats destroy it” with poverty-boosting policies, responded one caustic Hill aide.

Should have thought about that before Mississippi.
Preach it
My response is Karl Rove can kiss my *ss.
:)
And before Mitt Romney.
Rove et al declared war on conservatives just weeks ago. Big oops.
I don’t vote Democratic, Karl. Pound Sand.

We’re all racists, remember Carl? Now you want our money.
BIOYA.
Bite me, Karl. You’re on your own.
So Rove’s message is we have and always will dump feces on you, but you need to come work for us, and show how much you appreciate it.
they all act like Democrats anyway
Yep. Walking it back a bit, before his assault on Sarah Palin and like minded Conservatives....
Carl is just upset he can’t keep the confidence game going to line his pockets.
Sooner or later the GOPe is going to have to move aside. A political party that thinks it can alienate its base like they have done this year is a disgrace.
For now they can get their money from their K-Street corporatists.
I work for a living.
“You stupid conservatives had better line up and support our candidates! Or else!
Love, the GOP”
Yeah, we’re knuckleheads, remember.
The disconnect is most obvious over immigration, where the establishment’s push for more low-wage immigrants was blocked by unyielding public opposition, said Krikorian, who has long been critical of the high-immigration policies pushed by Rove and the GOP’s business wing.
“Now it is election time, the pro-amnesty Republican establishment wants to make nice with the voters, at lest until the election is over,” said Krikorian.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Who is Krikorian?- The author or the article is Munro....
Karl knows his sugar daddy deal with FOX has an end date.
Just trying to stay relevant.
Mark Krikorian, Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
Have no fear, the GOP Kapos will be on this thread to put us back in line.
