How far to the Right has the Republican Party gone over the past few years? So far that they now seem to even consider Karl Rove a traitor to their cause.
As evidence, take a look at these headlines from Rightwing sites taking Rove to the woodshed this week in response to his recently announced plan to form the “Conservative Victory Project” Super PAC to keep “Tea Party” candidates who Rove feels can’t win general elections, from winning Republican U.S. Senate primaries in the first place…
That’s some serious blow-back from Rove’s own base — or what used to be his base. Yes, the hard right Brain of Bush is now far “to the Left” of his own party. Oh, well. Win by the sword, etc…
Rachel Maddow’s full segment from Tuesday night, on the GOP’s attempt to rebrand themselves and the civil war that seems to be ensuing — particularly as two of the House’s most extreme Rightwing loons, Rep. Paul Broun (GA) and Rep. Steven King (IA), each plan to seek their party’s nomination for U.S. Senate in their respective states (Broun is really a piece of work, as Maddow details) — follows below. Get your popcorn…
Here in Michigan, the far right loonies run as ‘moderates’ until they get into office. Governor Rick Snyder is a perfect example with his most recent RTW ram-thru a lame duck congress. And his ‘Emergency Manager Law’ that the people voted down on the ballot in the last election and he re-instated within a month after the 2012 election. If the wingers are bashing KKKarl, it’s because they haven’t got the memo of the ‘new game’ the GOP play. Which is: “run as a moderate, once elected ANYTHING GOES”
Good. Let the monsters cannibalize each other. There’s room for an actual left-wing party after that, because god knows that the Democratic party of today is as right-wing as the Republican party of 25 years ago.
