Karl Rove: GOP Needs to ‘Get Up Off the Mat’ & Find More Diverse Candidates

Karl Rove: GOP Needs to Get Up Off the Mat & Find More Diverse Candidates

(TheBlaze/AP) — GOP strategist Karl Rove said Saturday that rebuilding the Republican brand in California will be a tough task that will require them to diversify and create a strategy to spread their message to a wider audience.

Referring to the state party’s deep losses in recent years, Rove said it needs to focus on larger themes of restoring jobs and reducing government spending.

He also said the party must recruit candidates who reflect the diversity of the country, and in particular, California. By next year, Hispanics will overtake whites as the state’s largest demographic group.

“We need to be asking for votes in the most powerful way possible, which is to have people asking for the vote who are comfortable and look like and sound like the people that we’re asking for the vote from,” Rove said according to the Associated Press.

His message to delegates, activists and local party officials throughout California was in line with the philosophy behind his new political action committee, the Conservative Victory Project. The committee was established to support Republican candidates it deems electable, offsetting GOP candidates who might offend key parts of the electorate.

Rove added that the winning combination will come with a mixture of better strategy and a broader explanation of Republican principles.

“If our values are universal then we have obligation to argue on behalf of values in every corner, in every crevice, in every community of our great country,” he declared.

Rove told activists at the Republican Party’s spring convention in Sacramento that rebuilding would be “a big task,” but offered Texas as an example. Once a Democratic stronghold, the state elected Republicans to 95 of 150 state House seats in November. Democrats have not won a statewide office in Texas since 1994.

Republicans hold the opposite status in California, where Democrats won supermajorities in the Legislature last fall and hold every statewide office. The GOP accounts for less than 30 percent of the state’s voters and has been losing favor with Latinos, women and younger voters.

“It’s not just the tactical stuff,” Rove stated. “[We've] got a strategic issue. We have great principles, but we sometimes talk about those principles in a way that makes it sound like it’s in 1968 or 1980 or 2000 and it’s not. It’s 2012 on its way to 2014.”

The former George W. Bush aide said rebuilding the California Republican Party might be so tough that party activists might choose to continue on their current path, “or you can get up off of the mat and throw yourself back into this contest.”

“Think smart, be active, be committed, rebuild the organization, ask for the vote in the right way, and speak boldly and proudly about our universal principles in a way that attracts support of your fellow Californians,” he said.

    What they need to do and better do first before anything else is put a stop to the voter fraud once and for all. It can’t be that hard – not if they get serious about it.

      Neverending… you know voter fraud is incredibly rare right? like almost non existent.. 633 confirmed incidents since 2000.. with 2,068 allegations since 2000…. Thats not near enough to effect any election. especially considering the state with the most voter fraud, Kansas, has had only 97 cases in the last 13 years.

      I don’t know who is doing your math keaton…
      Obama stole at least 5 out of every 10 votes cast for him which makes the last election a massive fraud. I’ve heard that millions of inner-city ‘voters’, a lot were over 100 years old, were told to posthumously vote. They also discreetly put polling booths inside of prisons and even put them on the opposite side of the yard (playground) from the white supremacist groups so that Ron paul wouldn’t get a conspicuous number of votes from these areas. Finally, I heard from a reliable source that obama himself sent out mailers to democrats in all of the battleground states telling them all about fraudulent voting. He told them that they would have to find a list of eligible voters that were not going to vote, like dead people. They would have to match the names with the precincts, and go to each precinct individually and claim to be the man or woman who was actually dead…They would have to memorize some basic info on each as well. Afterward, since it would be quite obvious that they were fraudsters, they should expect to serve up to 10 years in jail and pay $50,000 for each offense. A good democrat would rack up 1000 years in prison if they worked hard…that’s why there are so many black people in prison, duh? It’s all a big manipulative lie! Obama should have lost, if we just had voter id laws none of this would have happened! TRUE THE VOTE!!!!!!!!!

      You support id, training courses & background checks for arms purchases, right?
      What about id, training courses & background checks for voting? do you support that?

      If you’re are going to make the two issues compatible, why not go all the way with it?

      How is it unconstitutional to required a valid State ID to vote, but require that same valid ID to buy a firearm?

      End the fraud: No more absentee ballets, no more early mail in ballets. vote in person only, no more electronic voting machines, paper ballot voting only -connect dots to mark vote – i think at least 80% of the voters can cannot 2 dots.

      this proves my point:
      “I’ll fight it for Mr. Obama and for Mr. Obama’s right to sit as president of the United States,” Richardson vowed when asked about the voter fraud investigation that is now under way.”

      “Richardson claimed she had submitted an absentee ballot, but was afraid her vote would not count so she also voted in person. She also said she voted in the name of her granddaughter and yet another person.”

      American Patriot Spring is Upon US. WHat will you do?

      As Americans we need to end the Party System in America. There should be only one Political Party in America and that is The American Party.

      Anyone who runs for an elected office will only be allowed to spend a maximum $1000.00 US Dollars on their campaign. Congress will have 3 sessions that will last 2 weeks each session, The rest of the time those elected to Congress will return to their State to live among their Constituents. Each State will vote on the pay and budget of their Congressional Representatives. Yes, the State will determine pay, budget, insurance, and retirement for its elected Officials. No longer will Congress vote for their pay, budgets, or insurance. Congress will have the same insurance, pay scale, and retirement as Americans of their State.

      It is time to take the power out of D.C. and return it to The States, and the People. End All Federal Funded Programs. Each State will take responsibility for its citizens. Federal Income Tax will be set at a flat rate of 5% – everyone pays – no exceptions – no loop holes – time to start putting the hard earned money of the American Citizens back into the States where they live. No more free rides.

      Only you can help make the United States Great again. The American Patriot Spring is Upon us. What will you do?

      The distinctions between Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and Independents are no more. I Am Not A Republican, But An American!

      No doubt voter fraud plays a roll, but how about running a CONSERVATIVE candidate? I used to like Karl Rove, but after this last election, he aggravates the crap out of me. I hate this notion that we need to find “our” black guy, so he can beat your black guy, or woman, or Latino. How about delivering the message effectively? Reagan was the proverbial “old white guy” that the dems constantly demonize, and he knew how to get things done. He knew how to deliver the message, and commanded respect from both sides of the aisle. Bill Clinton is white, but he is reffered to as the first black president. Latinos supported him as well. I think we need to find the right candidate, screw what ethnicity he is. If that person is a woman, or black or asian etc….then so be it.

Right now the only choice we have is the red pill or the blue pill and both are bad. Time to break away and either support the libertarians or establish our own party if we want real change. Karl Rove and Dick Morris were both wrong and I also had the impression that Romney didnt really want to win. After the one good debate his fire went out….kapooooot!

If he was so brilliant his boss would not have had such a disastrous second term, with an approval rating in the low thirty percent range (if not lower). His idea of a “response” was “no-response” – for eight long years. Rove was a disaster then, and he is a disaster now. His desire is to collapse the Anti-Federalist movement – period.

    Carl Rove is a human biodiversity denier. The Truth is that politics at this point in American history is largely biological. Asians (average group IQ 110) and whites (average IQ 102) want to be left economically alone (freedom). Hispanics (average IQ 90) and blacks (average IQ 85) want to be associated politically, economically, and sexually for that matter, with the higher IQ groups (communism / socialism / totalitarianism). The average worker in Central America makes $3/day and his peer in Africa makes $1/day. So $90/day for sitting around on welfare is like great for these guys.

    Other than the fact that the lower-IQ tribes are highly racial and will only vote for someone who looks like them, the race of the candidates among the white population has been historically irrelevant, although that may change.

    Rove’s prime objective is to win. Plain and simple. That is what he has been paid to do for years. He has been paid to win. He is not interested in conservative values or conservative candidates. He is interested in winning elections and candidates that he thinks can win elections. Rove is smart and he knows how to win an election but he is the politically vapid and proverbial empty suit.

      You give Rove way too much credit. There is no grand conspiracy on Rove’s part. He is a paid political operative. Bottom line. McCain and Romney were weak progressive candidates. No one forced the American people to vote for them in the primaries.You can’t blame Rove for that.
      The truth is that the republican party began moving towards progressivism long before Rove came on the scene.
      However, he is hurting the party because he focuses his energy and money on supporting the candidates that he thinks have the best chances of winning and not the candidates that best represent limited government conservatism. In fact, Rove has expressed outright contempt for tea party candidates in the past. Rove represents the status quo GOP establishment. Nothing more, nothing less. His loyalties are to himself and to winning; not to constitutional governance and limiting the power and scope of the federal government.

      Another funny thing is Tofu and Always Cranky never seem to come up with viable Libertarian possible candidate’s. Other than the King of Earmarks or his son who votes against Hagel before he votes for him. Methinks they are two lonely schmucks who can’t seem to find a nice thing to say about anybody.

    Karl Rove needs to STFU and go away.

    Karl Rove is one of the few conservatives I actually like and look up too. I agree the Republican party needs to reach out to other voters in order to win elections. We need to reform the Republican party to greatness; not let it die in vain.

      On the contrary- it’s values are correct as it is. We need to point out that all people can benefit from our values.

    The Rs really went to the mat for Miah Love and Allen West. They just loved Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, too.

    The GOP needs to do the following: 1) hold true to CONSERVATIVE values; 2) budge not one inch to placate moderates and liberals; and 3) give the likes of Karl Rove the big heave-ho.

    Do these things and the GOP might, MIGHT start winning elections again.

      The GOP is just another barrel full of rotten apples. Rove is the worm. I’m going to wait and see what Tea is going to do.

      The TEA Party, The Libertarians, and the GOPers can’t win separately. We will always be loosers if we can’t learn to play together.

    No Mr. Rove. What we need is a third party.

    Mr. Rove needs to ‘butt out’. His mis- named ‘Conservative Victory Project’ aims to destroy the growing involvement of the ordinary voter as manifested in the success of the Tea Parties, and return the GOP to the country- club elite. His way would have prevented Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and other principled Conservatives from being on the ballot.

    Instead of trying to drag the GOP to the left, Rove ought to be spending his time (and money) trying to drag the Democratic Party back towards the center.

    More diversity among Neoconservatives though. Not to be confused with peace loving beatniks or those pragmatists asking; “isn’t this how Rome collapsed?” Just wither away, old man. Your brand of statism sucks too.
