Karl Rove is heading a new Super-PAC; this one called The Conservative Victory Project. The purpose of this group is to fight against Tea Party candidates in primary elections if they are seen as likely to lose to a Democratic opponent in the general election and to promote the more moderately conservative Republican candidate who, they believe, is more likely to gain office. Mr. Rove's new adventure is being funded by the same people who gave more than one billion to his American Crossroads PAC during the 2012 election then watched as President Obama was re-elected and the Republicans lost seats in both the House and the Senate.
While I applaud the recognition of the need for moderation in the Republican Party, I have to wonder if this is the way to go about it. These wealthy donors are willing to once again give millions to Karl Rove, (who must be the best salesmen ever), this time so they can fight against themselves--conservative vs. conservative. This just proves that having lots of money doesn't make you smart. To me, it just looks like the Republicans are funding their own disintegration. Couldn't happen to a more deserving group of people.
Looking for the best politicians money can buy, that's Karl and Kompany, is all.
