REPUBLICAN CIVIL WAR ERUPTS OVER KARL ROVE'S NEW SUPER PAC, by Grace Wyler -- http://www.businessinsider.com/karl-rove-super-pac-conservatives-republicans-civil-war-2013-2
Ms. Wyler's article really is a fun read for any liberal.
"The bloody and internal struggle within the GOP was blown wide open this week, with the news that Karl Rove has formed a new super-PAC, an offshoot of American Crossroads, that aims to weed out Republican primary candidates it views as unpalatable and unelectable...
...But conservatives see the new group as a final proof that the GOP Establishment has abandoned--and wants to silence and destroy--the party's rank-and-file. Powerful conservative groups--including FreedomWorks, the Club for Growth, and the Senate Conservatives Fund--reacted to Rove's news with scorn and outrage."
Steve Deace, conservative radio host is quoted as saying,
'(Rove) is actually going to encourage the very atmosphere he's intending to stop. If he wasn't so concerned with his ego, he would realize that....If Karl Rove wanted to take over the process in the primary states, the worst way to do that was to sabotage the candidates.'
Iowa Repubican Party Chair A.J. Spiker weighs in too.
'I believe that people will ultimately decide the candidate for themselves, But it hurts the party when groups jump in and try to influence the process. Ultimately, the only benefit is to the people raising and spending the money.'"
I did a Quick Fact article on Karl Rove's new Super PAC just a few days ago. You can read it here: http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4896581534064961420#editor/target=post;postID=8816565647735680378
Looks like my assessment was correct.
I used to think Cheney and/or Rumsfeld were mean and evil men bent on taking over the White House. As the years pass, I see they were marionettes to a master puppeteer named Rove.
ReplyDeleteThe Karl Rove I see today doesn't care for Party Politics. Hell he doesn't even care about the Republican Party itself.
He'd much prefer to destroy that once proud party to advance his own design. It is clearly evident that he has no compunction about ruining the lives of the former Middle Class. It's beginning to look like old Karl thinks IF could amass enough money (both domestic and foreign) he could be the first King of America.
