On my birthday I was asked what I wanted. I requested the chance to beat Karl Rover over the head with his whiteboard while yelling “shut up beeker!” Was that wrong of me?
Rovio is scum
The very definition of “moderate” precludes the idea of principles, much less of boldly stating them.
We DO need someone to step forward and boldly tell the awkward truths about our society and the problems therein.
What these people don’t get is that the people that the truth will offend
AREN’T GOING TO VOTE FOR YOU ANYWAY.
Of course, they’re still stuck in the paradigm of “40% will vote for you, 40% against, and it’s the 20% undecided that you have to fight for”.
So Priebus and Rove are coming out with commitmentless blather that won’t hold the GOP to anything.
E.g., no promise to repeal Obamacare, just an implication of at least modifying the act.
Also, something fuzzy on national security, but of course no commitment on closing the border and squelching amnesty, because they and their big biz donors want to flood the country with low-skill workers (who will go on the dole and be Democrat voters).
As to the economy, they’re adopting the Clinton language by which the public sector “grows” it. Again, presumably without any bold, tangible commitments to real reform. (Though here there are some proposals that would be sufficiently friendly to big biz for them to offer some specificity.)
Assuming this is serious and not a joke, why did they wait until 5 weeks before the election to decide that the candidates needed something to run on?
It's all just politics to Rove, results don't matter at all.
I have no idea why anyone running would take any advice from him.
Unless the GOP draws stark contrasts to 0bama and the dihms, the GOP will limp in with 51%, but that's about it. With a promise to repeal 0bamacare (not fix it....It can't be fixed) and close the borders (we have a raging epidemic of ebola, TB, and islam coming in) and the GOP will win in a walk.
Id love to see the RNC convention over run by conservatives lol
You’re hands, Mr. Rove - the one does not know what the other is doing.
“F” off Rove!
Principles? What principles??
“Rove to GOP Candidates: Be Bold and Clear About Principles”
“Then when elected we can go back to being democrat lites and dumping on Conservatives. We don’t need no stinkin principles.”
It is because the Republican Party has abandoned the true conservative principles that were championed by Ronald Reagan that in January of 2012, after 37 years of conservative political activism, I walked away from the party. Became an independent. When real conservatives run on real conservative principles, they win and win big. But when RINO's run on an apparent superficial presentation of conservatism, it's 100% phony and everybody knows that. I just can't understand how Republicans can run the same losing paradigm every time; get their butts handed to them over and over and stay on that course? It's the definition of insanity.
