Is Karl Rove washed up?

is he no longer the pow­er­ful think­ing man that he once was?

The truth may be that Karl is no longer the man he used to be and there are some very good rea­sons why.

Karl Rove has declared war* on the Tea Par­ty Move­ment. Our response? BRING IT!

Estab­lish­ment Repub­li­cans like Karl Rove has dilut­ed what is sup­posed to be the con­ser­v­a­tive prin­ci­ples and mes­sage of the Repub­li­can Par­ty. In a mis­guid­ed attempt to ‘appeal to mod­er­ates’, Rove and his ilk have alien­at­ed con­ser­v­a­tives with­in the Repub­li­can Par­ty and sent the Democ­rats a clear mes­sage. They have no spine.

Rove has some nerve attack­ing a move­ment that infused the right with such enthu­si­asm that it gave the Repub­li­can Par­ty its biggest gains in 2010. If he wants to point the fin­ger of blame at any­one, he needs only look in the mir­ror for it was Rove that was the pri­ma­ry dri­ver in Bush’s becom­ing the sec­ond biggest spender of all time, right behind Barack Oba­ma. This caused the Repub­li­can Par­ty to lose all cred­i­bil­i­ty for fis­cal con­ser­vatism in 2006, paving the way for Har­ry Reid, Nan­cy Pelosi, and eschew­ing in Barack Oba­ma and the free­dom suck­ing Oba­maCare.
