Tea Party and GOP are in full battle mode! [View all]
Dont you love it when the snakes the GOP coddled grew up and cost the GOP at the polls? And now there is more reason to rejoice...Here is an article I found on

The battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party has begun. On one side is the Tea Party. On the other side stand Karl Rove and his establishment team, posing as tacticians while quietly undermining conservatism.
Yesterday, the New York Times reported that the biggest donors in the Republican Party have joined forces with Karl Rove and Steven J. Law, president of American Crossroads, to create the Conservative Victory Project. The Times reports that this new group will dedicate itself to recruit seasoned candidates and protect Senate incumbents from challenges by far-right conservatives and Tea Party enthusiasts who Republican leaders worry could complicate the partys effort to win control of the Senate.

But it is American Crossroads and its ilk that have run the GOP into the ground. Spending millions of dollars on useless 30,000-ft. advertising campaigns during the last election cycle, training candidates to soften conservatism in order to appeal to moderates, blowing up the federal budget under George W. Bush as a bipartisan tactic all of those strategies led the party to a disastrous defeat in 2012.

Grover Norquist correctly points out that the Rove mission is nonsense. People are imagining a problem that doesnt exist, said Norquist. Weve had people challenge the establishment guy and do swimmingly. In truth, conservatism wins elections so long as the messenger doesnt implode. Roves view, however, is that conservatism takes a back seat to the best quasi-conservative messenger.
But victory for conservatives isnt Roves goal. Hes a political insider par excellence, and hes playing for his political life in the aftermath of 2012. If that means declaring war on the Tea Party, so be it.
Ya! so be it!!! Bring 'em on!! I dont know about you but this infighting over there just makes my day!! Hope you have a big grin as well!!
