By now all Americans—regardless of their political ideology, especially conservatives—should be fed up with the government failures produced by political operatives and big money’s influence in our elections. Election after election, powerbrokers like the infamous political Republican strategist Karl Rove and his campaign money machine are working to deprive Americans of the fundamental concept of choice in our elections. If Mr. Rove continues to have his way, conservative Americans will only be allowed to vote for candidates of his choosing in the foreseeable future.
Super Pac “American Crossroads”—founded in part by Karl Rove—has branched out on a new political influence peddling venture call “The Conservative Victory Project”. “The Conservative Victory Project” will operate independently of the National Republican Senatorial Committee and “American Crossroads”. It is being funded by big Republican campaign contributors frustrated by American Crossroads failure to aggressively inject their money and influence into Republican vs. Republican contests. According to reports “the Conservative Victory Project” unlike “American Crossroads” will be disclosing all of it donors. How refreshing, if true.

Sorry, but you are far to optimistic.
We are already within sight, indeed history will show if we have already crossed the line, into a permanent Democrat-taker majority.
Once we have crossed that line, there's no turning back -- ever.
Our constitutionally limited Republic (Free Republic!) will be gone, and we will be just another "people's republic", "banana republic", "socialist democracy" or whatever other name you might wish to call us.
Of course, to a large degree we already are those things, but so long as life breathes in free-republican opposition, there still remains the possibility that new conservative leadership and a clear vision can return the United States from the brink of self-destruction.
The media is trying to portray the Republican party as being in disarray, they accuse us of infighting, and already claim we are “finished”. The Marxist MO is to infiltrate, divide, slander, conquer. When I read quotes regarding conservatives I consider the source, even those who call themselves conservatives. There is no point in wasting energy with knee jerk reactions against our own, even if we don’t agree. I believe we should focus on the media corruption and the deception from the Soros propaganda machine.
They have had this campaign against the Catholic church for years, and lash out whenever the church refuses to put their messiah before our God. They endlessly recycle abuse scandals, distort the messages of the Pope, Bishops, and priests. Infiltrate Catholic institutions and work against the church, and Soros had spent millions to create “Catholic” organizations that are a complete deception.
The media is compromised, don’t believe what they say about us. We have to focus on outing their deception.
Stone thrower John DeMayo, the author of this poisonous article, must have slept through English Composition class, where he should have learned not to write sentences like this:
"Apparently big Republican donors aren’t happy with anti-establishment conservative Republican candidates—chosen by free and fair elections—defeating there candidates and subsequently losing to a Democrat."
Ironically, he's the same guy who complains about illiterate minorities, here:

Carl can go pick his nose, a job for which he is well suited.
Karl Rove, like Dick Morris, is nothing more than a political whore for sale to the highest bidder. Both are slightly less corrupt than your standard Democrats because their party has a much bigger surplus of whores and, therefore, do not pay as well.
I agree with ncdave4life. Whatever else Karl Rove may be, he knows how to win elections — even when the entire news media establishment is against him. We have to stop the infighting as a party. We need to reunite and reach consensus on how to go forward.
My suggestion is that we really, really need to reach out to women and Latinos. We don’t need to cave in on the issues that the news media establishment is defining as important issues (and acceptable political positions) for women and Latinos. But I do think we need to give an inch, or the left-wing fanatics are going to continue taking a mile in every election. Even more important, our candidates need to be a great deal more sensitive about these issues, and what they say about these issues. If we can become more sensitive, we don’t need to cave in on these issues.
Todd Akin is a perfect example. He was going to win that Senate election in Missouri, by a wide margin, and he’s a true conservative. Then he said something about abortion that was stupid and insensitive. And a Democratic incumbent who should have been politically dead was resuscitated, and re-elected. If he had chosen his words more carefully, he would have won as a true conservative.
That attitude is what’s destroying the Republican Party>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Thats fine by me. The sooner it is destroyed the sooner we can organize a conservative party.The Republican party rejected conservatives in 2004, 2008, and again in 2012.
We will start our own party. The Republican party does not have to be destroyed. It destroyed itself.Not only did it alienate Hispanics and minorities. It alienated ALL of its conservatives.
Now the Republic party must die. You are watching its death as we speak. Rove is destroying it as we speak. He does not know how to win elections. He lost in 2008, and he lost in 2012. Rove is a loser.
Karl Rove is just the tip of the GOP iceberg. Here in Illinois the GOP Party leader, Pat Brady, actively recruited Republicans to vote for homosexual marriage - which goes against the Illinois GOP Party platform.
Numerous calls from Republican County Central Committee Chairmen and Republican voters for him to STEP DOWN fall on deaf ears of Illinois Party leaders.
The question is how we go about it... Tell those who don't support the party platform to GO. Unfortunately, that includes most of the members of the Illinois Central Committee.
It may be too late for Republican Party.

Really? So in your world a man who forms a pac to attack CONSERVATIVES rather than liberals is good?
Are you sure you're on the right site?
Like McCain, Romney, and how he's going to float another big turd like Jeb or Christie. No thanks.
Todd Akin is a perfect example.
Funny how the RINOs are still attacking Akin, but have nothing but praise for a loser like Rove - see, he loses elections, that makes Rove a LOSER. Did I mention that Romney lost? Maybe you need to stop playing the race card and support CONSERVATIVES rather than attacking and driving them away and expecting somehow to win elections.
totally agrre Bryan. As a woman in the Latino community I can confirm the the Marxists have effectively painted a picture of conservatives immigrant hating, and anti women. Latinos are conservative, but the vitriol that seemed to come from certain elements in the party, was threatening and ugly. I know better, not everyone does. Many conservative Latinos were upset that Obama won, and that he was able to deliver messages of hope, trust, and love, with the skill of a con man. With the media against us, there is no room for vitriol.
Rove wasn't involved in the 2008 election, or the 2012 election. Don't try to blame those two disasters on him.

Yes, I know all about that. I'm in the western suburbs of Chicago. We had an incumbent, conservative Republican congressman named Joe Walsh. He lost to a left-wing radical Democrat named Tammy Duckworth, who in 2010 failed against another true conservative, incumbent Republican congressman named Peter Roskam in an adjoining district.
Why the different outcomes? Several factors combined to protect Roskam and defeat Walsh.
First, the one I'm going to keep beating everyone over the head with: Roskam knows how to speak about sensitive issues in a sensitive way. Walsh is fatally infected with what I call the Todd Akin Syndrome: completely insensitive in his remarks about women and minorities. Hostile news media establishment operatives, who always work overtime to get Democrats elected, seized everything he ever said that was insensitive and splattered it all over the front page.
Second, the Democratic machine in Chicago knows how to turn a loser like Duckworth into a winner. They hired her, first in Springfield and then in Washington, as a mid-level bureaucrat in veterans' affairs to polish her resume. After Roskam ripped her up for running as a non-resident in his congressional district, they used redistricting to custom design the neighboring congressional district around her residence -- a district she could win.
Third, the left-wing news media establishment didn't get behind Democratic candidates in 2010 to the same shameless degree that they did in 2008 and 2012. I don't know what happened, but they just weren't as blatantly partisan for the Democrats in 2010. That's my perception anyway. And we can't hope that it will ever happen again.
Karl Rove is a "proto-type" of those running the Republican Party. He talks the talk on conservative issues, but always goes for the moderate/liberal candidates.
Momentum is down in my area to be involved in the GOP. Conservatives are not as involved in campaigns as they were, and the GOP vote is down. GOP leaders and strategists like Karl Rove have had a demoralizing effect on conservatives. They feel betrayed.
Only a BIG SHAKEUP in GOP leadership will get conservatives back on board. Conservatives are the backbone of the Republican Party. Without them, the party cannot win an election.
An unfortunate truth: Ineffective leaders will not give up their leadership positions, even though all signs point to the demise of the movement they are leading.
Rove was involved in the 2008 election having set up the frame work for others to work in 2004, he led the construction of public imagery, mostly spin & lies BTW :
“Shortly after leaving the White House, Rove was hired to write about the 2008 Presidential Election for Newsweek.[36] He was also later hired as a contributor for the Wall Street Journal and a political analyst for Fox News. Rove was an informal advisor to 2008 Republican Presidential candidate John McCain, and donated $2,300 to his campaign.[37] His memoir, Courage and Consequence, was published in March 2010.[38] One advance reviewer, Dana Milbank of The Washington Post, said of the book that Rove “revives claims discredited long ago”.[39] The controversial book has inspired a grassroots rock and roll compilation of a similar name Courage and Consequence[40] that was released a week before the memoir.”
On November 7, 2012, Rove protested Fox News’ call of the 2012 presidential election for Barack Obama, prompting host Megyn Kelly to ask him, “Is this just math that you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better? Or is this real?”[63][64][65]

Rove is a disaster.
Why revise history? Rove and his cadre of coutry club RINOs
have a death grip on the GOP and will play dirty pool with consrvatives to prevent their prevailing within the GOP. They do this INSTEAD of fighting the Dems. They are more democrat that Republican.
Now Rove and his gang will not go gracefully into thenight, despite the repeated FAILURE of their strategies , having alienated just about everyone they can, including conservatives and Hispanics. They lead like lead farts. Horrible. SO its up to us to create a genuine “Republican” party.Its time to just get on with it.
Really.? Mr. Rove is greatly responsible for the schism that now exists among the right - Mr. Rove is an elitist RINO.
Who do you reccommend to take over the Republican party? Rudio? The point is you can elect people with an “r” behind their names every election. But no matter what they say while campaigning, when they get to D.C. they’re still republicans.
I would begin searching at the top of the list of "most conservative" US congress-critters and governors.
If that happens to be someone of Hispanic heritage, then so much the better.
Terry Mross: "The point is you can elect people with an “r” behind their names every election.
But no matter what they say while campaigning, when they get to D.C. they’re still republicans."
Regardless of what some people say, Republicans at their worst are still more conservative than Democrats at their "best".
Therefore, the choice of "R" vs "D" is (almost) always "R".
But when the primary election choice is more-conservative R vs more-"moderate" R, then the choice must be the more-conservative R.
As to how conservatives can "take over" the Republican party, the answer is simple: "ownership" belongs to those who deliver the most votes.
So sitting around b*tch, moaning and complaining about Republicans does no good.
Delivering voters to polls wins elections and gains political control.
But first you have to get off your rear-end and do some real political work, FRiend.
I contend there was only one factor, and it's the only factor which matters: Dems knew who their voters were (by name!) and got them to the polls, one way or another.
Republicans don't know how many voters we have, or how many more we need to win, and where to find them.
In all fairness to Karl Rove, that is exactly what he is most noted for, and I'd say the only people qualified to criticize him are those who are proved better at it than he is.
And that would be??
How do you stand on Pat Brady? Should he stay or should he go?
