Karl Rove's new project post meltdown
My thoughts on this:
Koch and company et al spent all that money fertilizing the Tea Party movement into the kudzu it has now become. Now they're spending money trying to put it underground if not eradicating it. I wish them luck.
All the last paragraph caught my attention:

Quote:This theory may be reasonable or it may be poppycock. Either way, Rove’sThe assumption is a church that is open to new converts, not burning and stoning the heretics. If anything, the Tea Partiers had become more fervent in their beliefs.
detractors should thank him for bringing the debate into the open.
Rove’s new effort is good for the Tea Party in the way that doubters are
good for religions. No faith worthy of its Sunday parishioners crumbles
under a challenge. Leaving aside whether Rove is really challenging the
core of Tea Party beliefs, his efforts force those who hold a different
view into being clearer about what they believe. Only if they go
through that process can they make their case to Republicans who aren't
already true believers. Plus, if they can't beat Karl Rove at the
internal game, they're not going to be able to beat the Democrats.
