Well, you can thank Rinos like Karl Rove who attacked the Tea Party movement. I want Armageddon with these jerks and either they leave or we do.
THIS is Rove's fault too?
How many people in the general public have even HEARD of Rove, much less base their opinions on what he says? How many Democrats/Independents look to Rove to think for them?
I'd prefer that conservatives take over the GOP and purge the RINOs from the party. If another Dole, McCain or Romney type is the candidate --- third party, and to hell with the GOP.
