Both Karl Rove and Michele Bachmann represent everything wrong with today’s Republican Party. Rove is a member of the Corrupt Consultant Class which is only concerned with getting a paycheck and not winning elections. Bachmann is a reactionary loon who hijacked and helped destroy the Tea Party by declaring herself the leader. Both are set now on a collision course thanks to Rove’s trashing of her yesterday on ABC.
On This Week With George Stephanopoulos, Karl Rove greeted Minnesota Republican Michele Bachmann’s retirement as an opportunity to fill both her congressional seat and her committee presence with a more effective Republican.
“It will be an opening for the Tea Party,” Rove said. “Michele Bachmann was the chairman of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus, and in that positon did nothing. Now the position is open, someone next year will accept the chairmanship of it, and they may do something with it.”
“It also guarantees that that seat,” Rove said, “which had been thought to be very much up for grabs—she barely won last time around, ran well behind Mitt Romney—is now safely Republican. The Democrat who ran last time around, a self-funder named Graves, already announced: after Bachmann pulled out, he pulled out as well.”
Its ironic Karl Rove claiming Michele Bachmann did nothing, when he blew $300 Million and had nothing to show for it. I wish Rove and Bachmann would both disappear since they are both face of Republican defeats. The Right would be better off without either losers like Karl Rove or reactionary loons like Michele Bachmann.
