Karl Rove is always worth reading for a glimpse of how GOP elites are thinking, and his latest Op ed suggest real panic setting in over the chaos and division spreading among Congressional Republicans over how to handle this fall’s fiscal fights. Rove confirms an argument that will be familiar to readers of this blog: Public disapproval of Obamacare does not translate into public support for GOP efforts to sabotage the law.

The poll is obviously one commissioned to advance an argument against defunding, but the very fact that Crossroads GPS — whose mission is to win elections — commissioned it and is calling Republicans’ attention to it is itself noteworthy.

After watching Obama get reelected, I couldn’t care less about the fears of the GOP elite. What harm can we do by standing up for conservative values? That is, what more harm can we do than they have already done?
They live in constant fear of bad publicity, and base their strategy on trying not to offend the media. A foolish and impossible objective.
I never never never ever link to Wa-Poo. This one has the snarky GOP conservatives trying to “sabotage” a train wreck. While their “bipartisan” hero Karl Rove is working to prevent such a thing.
Without going through its 2000 pages of new “taxes” (Thank You Justice Roberts), the armed home guard loyal only to Obama, the replacement of doctors making medical decisions with bureacrats (death panels). The elimination of allowing shopping of medical procedures. The replacement of the 40 hour week with 30 hours. The confiscation of Union Health plans, and on and on. There really isn’t much left to sabotage American Health Care which will become unaffordable to future generations. Actually Conservatives and their supporters in local movements, called terrorists by Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House at the time, want it gone.
The same socialist bunch who pushed Obamacare on US eminate from the core of radicals who defunded support of South Viet Nam. The impact of which warrants a recall of the consquences.
At that time they were called “democrats”. Since the socilalists have completely taken over that political party, even booed the use of the name of God at their 2012 convention. Any similarity to the party of JFK and today is purely accidental and naming them “Demo-Com” would be far more appropriate.
Wish there was a list of his clients......

Ditto!!
I guess this all assumes conservatives much care about the fate of the gop wing of the uniparty. That’s an erroneous assumption.
What’s really pushing this within the gop is fear of a bloody divorce with the conservatives. It’s finally beginning to sink in that conservatives might not be making idle threats when they say they’re done with the gop if it doesn’t start at least trying.
Yup
We’re onto Karl and his moneymen. You listening Krispy Karl? We’ve moved on to the Tea Party.
Get your story straight. Rand Paul supports DEFUNDING. Never have Rand, Lee, nor Cruz ever said this CR would pass the senate. They have said it would not, by the odds. Their entire push is simply to rally the American people to get up and fight, to pressure the House of Representatives to HOLD THE dang LINE, when this CR is rejected by Reid and comes back to the House.
Short of a miracle, the CR will fail in the senate, and be returned to Boehner with funding attached. THAT is where to fund, or not to fund, or to delay comes down to the wire.
Denigrating the Libertarians, or Rand Paul, is a stupid way to attract votes you’re going to wish you had. Young voters are are very much Libertarian and committed. The Libertarian ground machine is up and ready for 2016, waiting for the sound of the trumpet call, so brace yourself.
Rand Paul is not Ron Paul and is not the Libertarian platform. He beats to his own drum and attracts many dems, repubs indies, and libertarians.
Who else does that? I am a Cruzer, but won’t be found slandering Rand Paul anytime soon, just to shoot off my own foot at crunch time.
Rove is a bum.
I believe if McCain was denied access to a TV camera or member of the press for one week he would have a meltdown requiring a hospital stay. If he simply was a conservative Republican the media would not be giving him attention he obviously must have to feed his ego.
So, the Rove alternative is what?
Do nothing to stop it, but make minor “Conservative” adjustments to this national catastrophe when (if) the GOP takes back the Senate?
Does anyone know if you still get in trouble here for trying to stir up a Guillotine party in DC?
I can build them to lop four heads at a time.
well done...
ROVE IS AN IDIOT and a coward
So why is everybody for George P. in TX?
Everybody? Scale back on the hyperbole, FRiend. I wouldn’t vote for that country club squish if you threatened my life.
