2/6/13, "Karl Rove Vs. the 'Far Right'," CNS News, S. Jones
"If I were launching a new conservative venture, the last venue I'd
choose for the announcement would be the New York Times. Karl Rove has
gone to the Times to announce that he has created a new "conservative"
entity "to recruit seasoned candidates and protect Senate incumbents
from challenges by far-right conservatives and Tea Party enthusiasts."
Rove
argues that Republican fortunes have been ruined by "far-right
conservatives," but he's shamelessly calling this entity the
"Conservative Victory Project." Yes, and I could call myself Ray Lewis,
but it doesn't make it so.
Whaddaya know? The liberal Democrats
at the Times love this idea. They call it "the most robust attempt yet
by Republicans to impose a new sense of discipline on the party." They
would love a group to "discipline" conservatives right out of the GOP
nominating process. What the heck? They could call themselves
"conservative," too.
It's reminiscent of all the reporters who
desperately wanted Colin Powell to run for president in 1996 because
apparently Bob Dole was too fringy, and, as Howard Fineman said at the
time, reporters "want a Republican Party they can live with."...
The New York Times quoted Rove staffer Steven Law on their alleged
philosophy: "Our approach will be to institutionalize the Buckley rule:
Support the most conservative candidate who can win." Uh-huh. So that's
what Rove was doing when he supported Sen. Arlen Specter over Pat
Toomey in 2004.
Before that term was over, Specter became a Democrat.
That's what moderates were doing when they supported Charlie Crist over Marco
Rubio in Florida in 2010.
Crist, too, became a Democrat.
The
Times did not explore Steven Law's win-loss record. As executive
director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee in 1998 and
2000, Law's work ended up with zero gains in 1998 and four seats lost in
2000. The Times didn't want to remind anyone how Rove "the Architect"
predicted in 2006 that the GOP would retain control of both houses of
Congress, and he proceeded to lose them both.
Wouldn't that information help the public evaluate just how much the Republicans need Team Rove's new "discipline" to win?
When
it comes to winning, they supported Sen. Robert Bennett over Mike Lee
(who won the seat) in Utah.
The GOP moderates preferred Lt. Gov David
Dewhurst over Ted Cruz in Texas in 2012.
The list seems endless."....via Mark Levin twitter

Ed. note: Karl Rove of course is the Bush clan stand in. The entire group must leave the public stage. We don't have monarchies in the US. Especially not ones who have trashed us.
