Well, I am not "Sarah Ted Palin Cruz", whatever that might have meant. However, I say welcome to any group whose intent is to field good candidates for us. What´s not to like?

Saying they are "considering" getting involved in republican primaries, isn´t very encouraging. What are they "considering"? Are they "considering" that, since Rove´s chosen candidates won´t be conservatives, but RINOs, they maybe able te extort some cash from Rove´s group to stay out of it?

Don´t trust any of the hucksters that are gong to come along, based on Rove´s (and the GOP´s) determination to move the party to the left. They are just as crooked, don´t give two squats about this country, (just money), and will waste our time in taking BACK the country.

Karl Rove and his fellow RINO statists aren´t the answer to the problem, They are the problem.

What #1 said. In the past, the demonrats were the targets being challenged by members of the GOP... now not so much... IMHO, there is nothing to celebrate about "groups" "clashing" against fellow Republicans who are ALL trying to get Republicans Elected, rather than dems. Good grief!

I would gladly trade McCain and Lindsey for two more like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul and other conservatives.

Gabula

#4. Your comment goes to the heart of the matter. The fight ain´t between R´s; it´s between those who are principled conservatives
first and insist the GOP stand for something; and those R hustlers like Rove whose laser like focus is on ´winning´ for no particular purpose. You´re smart enough to understand this.

How patronizing, #6.

I don´t have to guess who gets to decide which are the acceptable candidates. I believe I will decide for myself and my decision will not be based on which PAC sent money.

I asked Flounder about this insane GOP civil war and he said:

"Wow! This is great!"

I would like to have some choice in candidates too, why should Rove and the party elites be the ones who continue to foist candidates on the rest of us?

Oscar Pistorius murder charge:
Reeva Steenkamp’s iPad ‘intrinsic
part’ of police investigation
Telegraph [UK], by Aislinn Laing

Police in South Africa are treating the iPad of slain model Reeva Steenkamp as “an intrinsic part” of their investigation amid reports that a late-night message from a rugby player might have sparked a row with boyfriend Oscar Pistorius that led to her death. The iPad was reportedly found on the bedroom floor of Mr Pistorius’ home after Miss Steenkamp was shot dead in the early hours of Thursday morning. Francois Hougaard, the South African national team rugby player at the centre of the rumours, who was friends with both Mr Pistorius, 26, and Miss Steenkamp,

Lets just muzzel this now!

Rome is burning and we are shooting ourselves in the foot. It appears to me the Party has been infiltrated by the left to cause havoc!

Clean up your act and move on! Beat the enemy that is in front of us..The President and the lame Democrats in both houses! Enough!

#7. Wasn´t patronizing Malia at all, just stating something that should be obvious. Sure, the choice of candidate is one´s own and always has been. That´s hardly the point. For far to long the voters have chosen between Tweedledum and Tweedledee and the result is self-evident; nothing changes. Surely you must have noticed by now?

Better for Americans for Prosperity to put their resources toward a new party. The GOP elites will wag their fingers with dire warnings of Democrat dominance - but they ignore that a new party without the "party of the rich" albatross would also draw from the Democrats. The two-party big-tent status quo simply no longer works. There´s a middle-class vacuum to be filled. The ideal multi-party system is where no party, including the Democrat party, commands an absolute majority. Then "compromise" must occur on a candidate-by-candidate and issue-by-issue basis, not once every four years. Electoral and legislative success would depend on coalitions of the various parties. The NY Conservative party (which endorses conservative GOP candidates and issues) is a template.

#12 What you want is a parliamentary government. I say pull the plug on the "me too" Republican Party and start a party that believes in the traditions that made America great: free markets and self relience.

Fascinating.
I was very open about supporting Romney/Ryan and I am still dismayed that America seems intent upon voting its own self-destruction. Now it appears Republicans are following suit.
As of this moment, I have no dog in this hunt. I thought we would all hang together or hang separately. Perhaps it doesn´t matter. I am pretty well convinced America is a left of center country these days. Knock yourselves out and wake me when the grown-ups return (if there are any left).

We nominated a presidential candidate whose PAC was run by a Rove protege and that PAC concentrated its efforts in late 2011 and the primary season on silencing good candidates and muting substantive discussions. Negative ops and planted stories-- a scorched earth policy which won a nomination and coordinated a loss of almost unbelievable proportion against a very defeatable candidate. Now it is claimed that all good candidates are welcome, but that somehow group think focusing on principles and ideologies is somehow patronizing and counterproductive, er, um, unless Karl Rove and his are deciding who the good candidates are, and which ones ought to be weeded out.

Apparently it all depends on whose ox is being gored.
