| While Barack Obama is busy shredding the Constitution, Washington, D.C. insider Karl Rove is busy trying to destroy what is left of the Republican Party by launching a multi-million dollar Super PAC to usurp representative democracy, disenfranchise American voters, and concentrate even more power in Washington DC. Rove and the professional “consultant class” think that only Washington D.C. insiders like them – not the American people – should get to decide who runs for public office. That’s why he is launching the “Conservative Victory Project” – a Super PAC whose mandate is

Oh please. Take a breath.
FTA: "What happened the last time Washington D.C. insiders hand-picked our candidate? We got Mitt Romney"
Nobody hand-picked Romney. After endless televised debates with with Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Ron Huntsman, Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain, Gary Johnson, Tim Pawlenty, and a handful of others, followed by some hard fought state republican primaries, for anyone to claim Romney was "hand picked" is just rediculous. Romney may not have been your preferred candidate, but no one picked him for us.
I´m no fan of Rove, but this approach is not helpful.

Seems to me Rove is doing more to get democrats elected than republicans. Maybe that`s his plan...

Rove had a hand in spreading rumors about the other candidates and not offering any support to the candidacy of anyone OTHER than Romney. NIght after night on Fox. The same old tired reasons from him and Ann Coulter why Romney was the ONLY one that had the credibility to stop Obama. Yeah, right....Romneycare cred. No going- on- the- offense cred regarding Benghazi. I´ll never forget the look on his face in the Candy Crowley debate....."really Mr. President?" Mitt said with the look of disbelief on his face and then the entire subject was DROPPED!!!!! This is in part why Hillary got to escape criticism at her hearing. If there had been a cogent drum beat of BENGHAZIGATe, these creeps would not have gotten away with murder. Karl Rove was too busy calculating numbers on his "white board" on how much of a landslide Romney would win by. Jackwagon. No use for him whatsoever.

Thank you, #3. You´re right. #5, do you have a source for your "rumor" accusation? And, I´m not sure why Romney would have contributed to his opponents. I´m not sure that´s ever happened in the history of political campaigns.
The woman who wrote this is flinging a lot of furious spittle, but very little substantive information.

The Republican Party: 1) no principles; 2) no values; 3) believes in nothing; 4) fights for nothing. Let´s abandon the country club Party.

Most of the Fox talking heads...with the possible exception of Hannity and even he was cautious...SEEMED to be under orders to say something positive about Romney whenever his name came up. These same people routinely discredited the most conservative candidate of the Primaries (Perry). I once spent an entire week counting seconds when Romney was discussed and comparing it to the "mention time" of the other Primary candidates. Unless someone else was actually being interviewed, Romney got far and away the most airtime on Fox.
Fox lost a lot of cred (as well as Coulter) for their unflagging support of a man who was, at best, a temporary conservative.
Yes, he was a better candidate than Obama. That´s why I voted for him. But he wasn´t good enough for many conservatives. When is Rove going to learn that his time in the sun is O-V-E-R????

6 who even said "ROMNEY would have contributed to his opponents?" better change your lens. my post doesn´t state that at all.
if you rather me say Romney was the most perfect candidate, sorry, I won´t.... that´s even after I voted for him.

The GOP candidate of choice couldn´t even beat a marxist of questionable heritage with a horrible track record. Why do we even listen to these clowns? Rove and his ilk are failures, interested only in feathering their country club nests. The words "conservative" and "rove" should never be uttered in the same sentence. Karl may have gotten bush elected, but he also got obama elected-twice.

Karl Rove & the Establishment (sounds like a boy band) repeatedly told us that Romney was the only one that could win. Wrongo, MaryLou! We tried it their way in 2008 and 2012. It is time we tried a REAL conservative! One that will fight fire with fire and not hold anything back.

Doesn´t it seem suspicious that any time a primary candidate other than Romney started getting attention, a massive amount of dirt was dumped about him (or her) within hours? I dont need to see the feces to know what the smell is.

This morning from The Washington Post’s Kathleen Parker: "Breaking news: Conservative organizations suddenly have found common cause with one of their favorite objects of contempt — the benighted Mainstream Media ... Or as the tea party queen and former Alaska governor likes to put it, the ‘lamestream media.’ In a twist of irony, the two groups have coalesced around a common enemy: the U.S. government.” (Snip) But truth be told, there would be no Tea Party today had there not been a Sarah Palin to egg it on and advance it.

Sarah Palin said Friday that the elite media would never let a Republican president get away with what Barack Obama has done in his push for new gun laws. The former Alaska governor recalled that the national press “tore apart” George W. Bush for using “fleeting images” from Sept. 11, 2001, during his 2004 reelection campaign. At the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting, Palin slammed Obama for flying the grieving parents of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Air Force One and then “making them backdrops” at rallies. “That same media is now the reliable poodle-skirted cheerleader

The Pentagon has released a statement confirming that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith: "Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense...Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis...”. The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.(From our earlier report: Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians--including chaplains--sharing the gospel

To say that Sarah Palin shook things up by taking to Twitter to express her displeasure at the nonchalant nose-rubbing going on at the White House Correspondent´s Dinner Saturday night would be an understatement. It doesn´t matter who you are. If you watched the White House Correspondent´s Dinner and simultaneously possessed one shred of passion for the future of our country with regards to crony capitalism and corruption, it´s pretty easy to determine the overwhelming consensus of the event. The media is supposed to exist to hold these people accountable. Instead, they choose to play

The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings should not be treated as an enemy combatant, Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Sunday morning. “I do not believe under the military commission law that he is eligible for that. It would be unconstitutional to do that,” Feinstein said on “Fox News Sunday.” Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the sole surviving suspect in last Monday’s bombings, was taken into custody Friday. Federal officials said they plan to use a public safety exception to delay reading Tsarnaev his "Miranda" rights.

Mainstream media publications immediately exploited the passing of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on Monday to again advance their political agendas by falsely smearing former Alaska Gov. and Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. In a rush to write whatever they could to tarnish both, outlets like Politico and the Washington Post resorted to "reporting" on a fictitious story and an imaginary trip that have already been debunked years ago. The Post, a publication known for its liberal agenda, immediately "re-upped" the debunked story about Thatcher having snubbed Palin when Chris Cillizza,

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, is gearing up for 2014. Her SarahPAC came out with a video on Wednesday aimed at fueling the conservative fires for a dramatic comeback in the midterm elections. The “Loaded for Bear” video features tea party favorite Sen. Ted Cruz talking of Mrs. Palin’s successes in the 2010 election that saw the rise of Sens. Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Jeff Flake, Breitbart reports. “Sarah Palin picks winners,” Mr. Cruz says in the video. And the statement does hold truth. Former Sen. Jim DeMint,

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
