Karl Rove to GOP: Work with Obama

Unlike many of his Republican colleagues, Karl Rove advocated Thursday for bipartisan compromise on immigration.

“Republicans have to look at this as an opportunity that they have to work,” the Republican strategist said on the Fox News program “Happening Now.”

Answer: This is the fastest growing voting block in the country and they vote overwhelmingly for Dems.

Now, you don't have to be Larry Sabato to figure out how that is going to go down a generation or two from now. Hint: It will not be pretty for the GOP.

can't be maintained.


He, more than anyone else, is responsible for the Tea Party and the inevitable decline of the Republican party that they are causing.


He knows he destroyed his own party and is still hoping beyond hope for some miracle that will save it.

He and his Brother are seeing their pay checks coming to a end. Obama will bury this guy once and for all. Even the TeaBillies won't hire his outfit. The long arm of the law is a coming for the Turd Blossum.
