The Fall Of Karl Rove

I've never really cared for Karl Rove, let me say that up front. I never considered his "accomplishment" getting George Bush elected & re-elected as all that stunning. If you read items from his past, you can see that he's really a big-government Republican. Not really a true Conservative. He has said, repeatedly, in response to criticism of his spouting off against Christine O'Donnell (R), Delaware, that he's for the Republican, whatever the case. He has said repeatedly that he is working for a majority.

Therein lies the problem I have with him. I used to be a card-carrying Republican. GW and that batch of Republicans changed that. I'm not for the majority. The (R) beside your name doesn't mean squat to me if you actually believe and vote Progressive. People like Mike Castle (R...yeah, right), Delaware, are exactly that. They are Democrats wearing an (R). I don't want a moderate. I don't want a blind extremist, either. I want someone who espouses the truly Conservative, Constitutional Constructionist, God-fearing traditional values that our founders created this nation under. I'm not a Libertarian. That's too much like anarchy, and it really is just Liberal but without the mandates to be Liberal.

Now, I've watched the old YouTube videos, seen the various quotes from Christine O'Donnell. Maybe she has been shallow most of her life, looking only after her 15 minutes of fame. I think almost all politicians share that...just some are more blatant about it. Here's the thing that I also pick up on. Over the years (the videos of her apparently go back to the college days) she has been consistent in speaking in favor of a very Conservative viewpoint and a worldview that respects God. Have her choices in life always been true to that worldview? There would appear to be evidence to the contrary. You could most certainly make the same claim about me. But I would, without a doubt, confidently go up against any Liberal, any Progressive, taking a position the favors a Biblical worldview and Conservative values. And if someone called me out on some past flaw in judgement I'd be the first to admit it and show that I've learned from it---that MY mistakes do NOT invalidate THE MESSAGE. Always, the TRUTH does not depend upon me--or O'Donnell--being perfect.

But what people like Tom Ross, Delaware GOP chair, and Karl Rove are is almost as insidious, almost as dangerous and misguided as the Democrats. I'm convinced they are actually Progressives, but that the power they seek through compromising principles and playing for the "big tent" is for the people with an (R) even if it doesn't actually result in any change of direction for this government and this country. They could care less about the fate of this nation, as long as they have more (R)s than there are (D)s. This should sicken you. It does me. I'd vote for a Democrat if I was convinced he voted more conservatively than progressively.

As for Christine O'Donnell, we should have a pretty good idea over the next couple of weeks if she can get herself schooled enough to go toe-to-toe with her Democratic rival. She'll need to be able to answer the tough questions. I don't doubt she'll help move us away from the Progressive filth we find ourselves in.

And here's a hint to Karl and others....CALL HER! Swallow your flippin' pride and jump in there with as much enthusiasm as you tired codgers can muster and try to help her campaign! School her yourselves instead of saying, "Well, she needs to this, she needs to that." You're not constructive. In fact, you're DEstructive.
