The RINO Herd is coming up against a fearsome conservative backlash. Can Karl Rove learn to say "uncle" before the looming RINO Wars destroy the GOP?



Republican Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad,  I said REPUBLICAN Governor,  Terry Branstad,  today, told Karl Rove to keep his new super PAC,  American Crossroads,  out of Iowa come primary season.  The governor sees Rove’s idea to supervise Republican primary’s as counter productive on more than one level. 

Apparently,  Rove has decided that Steve King,  a Republican,  offered his support to Todd Akin and,  for that reason,  Rove has decided that King is not a dependable candidate. and Rove intends to single out over "misfits" as he trys to single handedly shape the GOP into a competitive corporation that will win elections. 

Tony Lee of Brietbart.com,  gives us this story,  related in the worst of ways to the above:
Americans for Prosperity, the conservative group that has fiercely supported free market principles and embraced the Tea Party movement, is considering getting involved in Republican primaries next year, which could pit the group against Karl Rove's recently-created super PAC.

Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity, said the group will consider threatening GOP lawmakers in primaries who increase spending or taxes. 

After Rove created his "Conservative Victory Project," many conservatives felt the group was meant to wage war against Tea Party candidates.


Many,  if not most,  in the teaparty movement,  including this editor,  see the GOP waging a silent and deceptive war against the grassroots movement that brought them into power in 2010. It began with the decision NOT to invited the conservative lightening rod,  Governor Sarah Palin,  to speak the national convention in 2012.   And Rove has decided to step into the middle of this little GOP war.  

If Americans for Prosperity makes a final decision to get involved,  in an official way,  the GOP could self-destruct unless Rove,  McCain and others within the RINO Herd currently running the show,  back off. 

The power of the teaparty movement is found in the fact that it has proven that its members will stay away from the voting booth,  no matter what the threat, unless and until the RINO Herd gets back in line as regards conservative principles.  The battle cry  -  at least from this editor  - is this:  “Try winning an election without us conservatives.” 

If Rove wants to help,  and I do think he means well,  he can pitch in and train these people.  I think they might listen when,  two years ago they were guided by raw ideals mixed with very little political savvy.
