Who Needs Elections? Let’s Have Rove and Krauthammer Pick our Candidates

Karl Rove http://gawker.com/5640144/karl-rove-lov ... he-can-win and Charles Krauthammer http://www.therightscoop.com/krauthamme ... of-winning are furious at the Delaware voters for unseating the establishment RINO, Castle in favor of the tea party constitutionalist, O’Donnell.

Karl Rove, by the way, is the architectural genius whose strategy gave us Obamacare. Yes, it is his fault. And now he has even more sage advice for us.

Karl Rove and his boss gave us Arlen Specter, the unprincipled (but moderate) senator adored by Rove and Bush. In mob fashion they kneecapped Pat Toomey in 2004 when Toomey tried to unseat Specter in the Pennsylvania senate primary. Rove, ever the unerring political genius, calculated that they needed the safe, unthreatening RINO Specter to reign in Pennsylvania in order for Bush to win the state in 2004. They got their RINO and lost Pennsylvania anyway.

Six years later when polling made it clear that populist anger and another Toomey challenge was going to end Specter’s career, Specter switch sides to become a democrat. As a democrat in the senate, Specter was the 60th vote for cloture to pass Obamacare. We can thank Rove, Bush and the republican establishment for the nation-destroying Obamacare program now in place. And Rove thinks O’Donnell is “nutty?â€

I would like to see as final definition of "RINO." There has always been a spectrum in American politics. If you don't agree with the privatization of Social Security does that make you a RINO? If you think the military gets misused does that make you a RINO?
