In a new op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, Republican strategist Karl Rove warns the GOP that should they make big gains in the November midterm elections, they should focus on passing legislation rather than “score-settling” with President Barack Obama.
Rove writes that he anticipates Obama to reject bills sent to him from a Republican Congress but that Obama ” deserves the chance to show he’s matured as a leader and has the energy to govern.”
From the op-ed:
Mr. Obama is not the only person who must decide how to proceed. Whatever path the president chooses, Republicans must settle on a course, too. They should understand that, while it is insane to assume good faith from Mr. Obama, they should not make score-settling with the administration their priority.
Voters want Republicans to restrain Mr. Obama from further bad actions and oversee, and in some cases investigate, misdeeds and gross mismanagement. Even more, however, they want Republicans to tackle the problems facing Americans, especially middle-class Americans. This means the GOP should start with measures to strengthen the economy and help job creation.
Which the Democrats will promptly filibuster.
The press has already picked Rand Paul to be their next John McCain.
Was his tone this moderate with the Tea Party? I don’t think so....
And Megan my dear to answer your question. The Answer is "no". The GOP has been moderated into a coma though.
Rove has the cover of all his little online sycophants uoshing for the same “No matter what” bullshit that wrecked this country. If we stood together we could make a difference. Instead, half the right embraces the GOP brand of Leftism.
You are all welcome to join me thank them, starting with the cheshire frauds on this very thread. They have been talking out of both sides of their mouth for 6 freaking years now, like their RINO hero, and it needs to stop.
Save the pic. :-)
Do you honestly think that the Democrats are going to let anything like that reach Obama's desk?
Because McConnell intends to restore the filibuster to the minority party if the GOPe becomes the majority.
Seriously, Karl?
Obama is going to do NOTHING but throw tacks in the rear-view mirror and pursue scorched earth tactics during his final two years. My three year-old nephew will mature as a Statesman long before he does.
The minority party already has it. The only things exempt from the filibuster are presidential appointments other than to the Supreme Court.
This is because Rove is a liberal and approves of what Obama and his handlers are doing.
““We aren’t going to change anything. In fact, we are more or less happy with the direction. We just want our guys to be in a position to cash in. If you are voting for a course correction, please stop laboring under that expectation.””
Perfectly said, and worth repeating.
STFU, Rover.
bump
Actually 2012 was a blowout year until Rove scuttled it.
Rove the Magnificent B@stard lost both house for us under Bush and yet he still has his supporters, even here.
Rove is a democrat in drag
That would be notable if they had needed a Republican vote to pass it, which they didn't. They did however need a republican to get the bill out of committee and to the floor.
Don't kid yourself into thinking they will ever undo the damage they helped inflict.
Don’t worry, if the lunatic-wing on this site get their way, we won’t have to worry about what might happen if the GOP makes gains. They’ll sit home and whine and blame Rove no matter what happens. It’s what keeps them going.
Rovian politics.....go away LOSER!!!!
We’ll show what nice guys we are by increasing the national debt without any concessions and granting amnesty to illegals. The “Stupid Party” strikes again.
