I mean, a guy's gotta look out for his own interests, right? Ayn Rand and all that?
Now all Karl has to help out with is rounding up all those RINOs to go along with 0 and those 30M new Democrat voters and he'll really be set as Judas goat to a new permanent minority party.
What a guy... Hannity's good buddy, The Architect.
Well, if Rove is indeed the architect of this disastrous and illogical position, then he deserves al the scorn and ridicule possible. Moreover, I do not absolve Bush, or Cheney for that matter, of responsibility here. They should have seen the utter and ongoing disaster this was as it was unfolding. Certainly the rest of Conservatives across the country saw it, and felt it!
The author is exactly correct. Rove, et. al., are the architects of the destruction of the Republican brand. A destructiveness so utterly complete that I seriously question whether there will ever be recovery on a national level in my lifetime.
FReeper here saw these errors as they were unfolding. People were screaming, “Do something!”, Say something!” “Fight back!”
The Republican Party is not George Bush. It is not Karl Rove. They merely borrow the Party mantle. Yet they took the Party mantle and carelessly trashed it, rubbed it in the ground, and in that regard, literally spat on many fine American Conservatives.
And here we are.
Tokoyo Rove strikes again!
I have been trying to expose the man's combination of arrogance with a very serious analytic deficit, since he grossly mismanaged the 2000 Republican campaign. However, he continues to succeed in convincing the susceptible, that he is some sort of political genius.
For more on the subject, see 2006--Rove Directed Republican Disaster; or Karl Rove--Revisited, or the other articles on Rove, linked thereto.
With faux experts like Rove, wasting $100s of millions of Conservative donations, it is not surprising that we are in the present mess. We may never get out, if he is allowed to continue in any major role. The man is no more of an expert in political strategy, than he is in the social values that made America.

Good post.
Coverup ... and theft.
Rove/TeamRomney pocketed all the money, leaving workers
stranded, less than 9 nanoseconds after Romney gave up
(election eve; after he actually gave up weeks earlier,
expecting only his coronation).
They also withheld money from women they declared
to be ‘witches’.
