The first step towards resolving this problem is to boot out the RINOs in the congress.

Oh so now Claire McCaskill is Rove´s fault - nothing to do with Todd Akin.

Not only will Rove´s approach not solve the Rs problem, it will exacerbate it. He is deliberately trying to exclude a significant percentage of Republicans from the decision process. He´s a divider, not a uniter(sound familiar?). Tell me how that solves the party´s problem.

Whatever the pros or cons of Rove´s organizaton, I don´t think The New Republic has the best interests of the repulican party at heart. We do just fine fighting amongst ourselves without being egged on by leftist media types.

I´ve got five words for the Karl Rove haters in the Talk Show Host Party: Buck, O´Donnell, Mourdock, Akin, Angle. For those of you in Rio Linda, that´s five Senate seats lost because of bad "tea potty" candidates. Karl Rove has many faults, but he is a proven winner. I wish Romney had listened to him more.

Beg pardon, #2, but if Karl Rove had supported the winning Republican candidate in that race - rather than running him down and suggesting that we ´sink´ him and that he maybe might be ´mysteriously murdered´ - Mc Caskill would not have won. Apparently the arguments that ´no one is a perfect candidate´ and you must ´support the republican even if you don´t agree with them 100%´, and you ´don´t speak ill of fellow republicans´, don´t apply evenly across the board. I guess it´s alright to be a ´purist´ if you´re the ´right kind´ of purist.

The Republican coalition of business-establishment-moderate types and tea party-social conservative types may not be able to hold together. It may be like the Whigs of the 1850´s which eventually fell apart to be replaced by the Republin Party. The Democratic Party is just a band of thieves and coalition of hate groups that does not need core principles, and so does not have this problem (they have other problems). But I don´t see this moderate vs. conservative split being resolved. The conservative majority will grudgingly go along with their moderate leaders if they think they can win. But if they keep losing who needs them? And if the Conservatives take over the leadership, will the monied moderates accept this change? That´s hard to envision. So I think the Republican Party is headed to oblivion and we will see one party Democratic rule and the ruin of our nation. Our hope will emerge on the other side of that ruin.

Bravo #6.

As for those born last week, Aikin was NOT the TP candidate in Missouri. It split its vote between Steelman and Brunner, allowing
a crank like Akin to win.
By the way, Rove lost 21 of 30 Senate races last Nov, including has beens like Allen, Rehberg and Thompson. Some winner.
For the usual republican suspects, Mike Castle was a hard lefty in the Trotsky mold while in the House; which is why O´Donnell kicked his kiester. So what did Rove do? Why dump all over O´Donnell of course; just as he did Angle, who defeated his establishment choice. You see loyalty flows only one way.
No matter, the R party is a carcass awaiting burial which can´r arrive soon enough. It´s real simple. One is a principled conservative first or one is a republican whose core conviction begins and ends w/the ´We gotta win´ mantra. Good riddance!!!!

"that he maybe might be ´mysteriously murdered"
I am grateful for your good memory #6, as I had forgotten about that nasty invective uttered by Rove. I guess the comment would not be considered as ´circular firing´ when made by a progressive member of the Republican Party.

Karl Rove IS the GOP problem.
Just WHO took back the House in 2010?
