US POLITICS: RINO ROVE DECLARES WAR ON CONSERVATIVES………

 

Take your whiteboard elsewhere Karl.

The master of the 2012 presidential election disaster, thinks his ideas are relevant to the future of the Republican party. In one way they are, what not to repeat. ”Moderate Republicanism” is a fast track to eventual Whig party status, what’s needed is traditional GOP conservatism that garnered Ronald Reagan two landslide elections and the longest period of sustained economic growth in US/world history. Rove and his minions are driving the party into extinction.

Yesterday, the New York Times reported that the “biggest donors in the Republican Party” have joined forces with Karl Rove and Steven J. Law, president of American Crossroads, to create the Conservative Victory Project. The Times reports that this new group will dedicate itself to “recruit seasoned candidates and protect Senate incumbents from challenges by far-right conservatives and Tea Party enthusiasts who Republican leaders worry could complicate the party’s effort to win control of the Senate.” The group points to candidates like Christine O’Donnell in Delaware and Richard Mourdock in Indiana as examples of Tea Party primary picks going sideways in major Senatorial battles.

But it is American Crossroads and its ilk that have run the GOP into the ground. Spending millions of dollars on useless 30,000-ft. advertising campaigns during the last election cycle, training candidates to soften conservatism in order to appeal to “moderates,” blowing up the federal budget under George W. Bush as a bipartisan tactic – all of those strategies led the party to a disastrous defeat in 2012. The Tea Party, which may nominate losers from time to time, also brought the Republicans their historic 2010 Congressional victory. If Tea Party candidates lose, it’s because they weren’t good candidates; if GOP establishment candidates lose, it’s because they weren’t good conservatives. The choice for actual conservatives should be easy.

  1. No surprise here, the ‘country club’ and ‘checkered pants’ RINO Republicans don’t want to give up their grip on the control of the party, even if it means not winning elections. There is just too much money to be made. All these pompous blowhards are concerned with is holding onto their seats, with little effort in passing legislation benefiting we the people, while bowing to the demands of the powerful Big Business Lobby. Cutting spending, true thrift and austerity are not in their game plan.
