Karl Rove should not have the following he does within the Republican Party, he is hostile to conservatives, goes out of his way to attack them thus disuniting the base, and frankly, he is more and more out of touch with the American people.

The future of the GOP is not liberalism, and it is not going to be wishy-washy moderate milquetoast.  Anyone who is in touch with the grassroots of the GOP would know this, and it is most likely why Rove is so very wrong, so very often.

In his latest, Rove  in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, that the reason the GOP had such epic gains in 2010 was because Independents voted Republican.  No argument here, that is true.  What he does not disclose, or perhaps perceive, is that those Independents were swayed by energetic tea party and otherwise conservative grassroots ‘boots on the ground’ taking no directive from the GOP.

The rest of his editorial is typical, because he will not accept the above fact.

He contends that Independents are more apt to accept the views of Republicans over Democrats, but that is in peril at this point, and shows Rove’s disrespect for the thoughtfulness and rational minds of regular Americans.  The Democrat Party is showing their true color is Red, and the Republican Party has continually resisted the heated influence of its conservative base.  As a result, people are less identifying with both parties, and becoming more and more disenfranchised.

The Republican Party has resisted ‘moving right’ which is actually the wrong phrase.  ’Moving right’ to the beltway crowd is toxic to the party.  What they are being forced to do, through massive grassroots efforts, is actually ‘moving to the center’ and ‘fighting for America.’

We are at a point, five years into the Obama Presidency, that a clear picture of what the left holds in store for us is sobering reality, and is the antithesis of what America stands for.  All opposition to this ‘fundamental change’ is regarded by the American people as legendary, heroic and a righteous cause for liberty.

What Karl Rove is arguing against in his editorial, is the fundamental right of the people to influence their own representatives in what is left of this Representative Republic, for it is the people who are forcing the Republicans they elected in 2010 to stand for America.  He misconstrues or perhaps projects the thought that Americans will accept that which they do not want, just because he fears media headlines against the Republican Party.

He on the one hand tells us that Independents are the sacred cow of the election process, and then on the other claims that their rational thought is not welcome in his Republican party.

The American people are, as he points out, increasingly independent of political party affiliation, but the reason why is not clear to him.  Americans are dispossessing both parties plainly because they view the modern Democrat party as anti-America and the modern Republican party as spineless and unwilling to fight America’s demise, and are taking too many leftward leaps.

How then, does Rove assert that defunding a small portion of Obamacare will spell doom for the Republican party?  He assumes that the Senate will strip out the defund portion and send it back to the House, thus forcing a government shut down.

That might be true if Mitch McConnell doesn’t realize his political career is on the line, and has no ability to out-smart the dishonorable Harry Reid.  That might be true if lackluster support from the likes of so-called ‘conservative’ columnists do their best to thwart the American people, rather than turn on a thousand degrees of heat in an all-out campaign targeting every vulnerable Democrat in the Senate, who are right now hearing from their independent and union constituents about how they feel about Obamacare.  It might ring true if the Republican party does not become a full-throated defender of the American dream.

The Republican party can be the party of the future and stand for America, if they just listen to the intelligence of her people, and reject the feeble ‘what ifs’ of its overpaid and overrated, defeatist hand-wringers.  All they need to do is fight for her.
