Donations to Karl Rove's Groups Drop 98% after Targeting Tea Party

[Origanalist]

After wasting nearly $325 million during the 2012 election cycle with nothing to show for it and then declaring war on the Tea Party, donations to Karl Rove's three Crossroads groups decreased by 98% last year. The groups reportedly raised a paltry $6.1 million combined in 2013.

Rove runs Crossroads GPS, American Crossroads, and the Conservative Victory Project Super PAC, which was formed this year to wage war against conservatives. Rove's two groups raised $325 million in 2012 and about $70 million in 2010. As Politico notes, though, "Rove added a third group to the network in 2013, forming the Conservative Victory Project to counterbalance the influence of Tea Party and conservative grassroots forces in GOP primaries."

Since then, as Breitbart News reported, "Rove’s organization has been so tarnished among the conservative base that candidates fear donors will not contribute to any group associated with him." Aware of this, Rove's Crossroads network has reloaded with groups that share donors but are technically not affiliated on paper with them.

All three of the groups "are permitted to accept unlimited corporate and individual contributions," and donations to Crossroads GPS, a nonprofit, are even tax deductible.

Wait 'til the midterm elections, when the Tea Party and Liberty candidates win even more seats in Congress, despite all the demonization they've received during the last few months. Then the panic will truly be on!

Wait 'til the 2016 election, when the Tea Party supports ANOTHER corporatist RINO 'cuz they'll be panicked by a potential Hillary presidency...

Nothing will change until the Tea Partiers finally realize that there is NO DIFFERENCE between a RINO and a Democrat.

Looks like the Cons are spending their money a little wiser, time for Rove and the others to step down and pass the torch.

[Cleaner44]

I think this next round of elections is going to be another significant step forward for remaking the GOP.

The time of Rove has passed.

[GunnyFreedom]

It's funny how we are told to 'give it up' when our message has a slow uptake amongst GOP primary voters even though it is readily accepted by the General electorate; but the very same people telling us to throw in the towel will not stop pressing no matter HOW unpopular they become in BOTH primary and general electorates. Methinks the Rovian watchword is 'hypocrisy.'

[Philhelm]

The time of Rove has passed.

And the time of Orcs has begun.

They own both parties... that's why there's been a policy coup at the Federal government level... which means WARS for Israel and obviously reflects the, 'Party of One'.


All you need to know: Sheldon Adelson alone, bought $150+ million worth of Republican/GOP government politicians just in 2012. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...=1#post5204458 (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?425974-O-Bomb-Ya-to-make-Syria-statement&p=5204458&viewfull=1#post5204458)

Top 5 Pro-Israel/Zionists donors bought almost $1/4 of a BILLION in Republican/GOP officials/PACS/Lobbyists/policies, that's just in the 2012 election year. The money is laundered through "middle men" like GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and Karl Rove, with GOP SuperPACs like, Crossroads GPS and American Crossroads.

Exactly what I was thinking.

[Mr.NoSmile]

In my opinion, Tillis and Brannon in North Carolina will be a true barometer on who people turn their attention toward.

Brannon is starting to pick up steam and tremendous grassroots support.

Defund Rove!

Edit: never mind, this article is stupid. How are they going to compare funds raised in a presidential election year to an off-year? I bet Obama and Romney's fundraising was way down in 2013 too!
