The Right is like a dog chasing it's tail and Newt gets it.
"In the latest development
in the ongoing battle over the future of the Republican Party, Former House
Speaker Newt Gingrich accused top GOP strategist Karl Rove of building a
Tammany Hall-style party machine in which candidates are chosen and financed by
"a bunch of billionaires" across the country.
Rove has come under fire
from tea party groups after he helped launch the Conservative Victory Project earlier this year, which will support candidates considered to be
more "electable" than far-right tea party contenders.
Writing in Human Events, a
conservative newspaper, Gingrich criticized Rove's efforts to rebuild the
party, calling it an "an invitation to cronyism, favoritism and
corruption":
I am unalterably opposed to
a bunch of billionaires financing a boss to pick candidates in 50 states. This
is the opposite of the Republican tradition of freedom and grassroots small
town conservatism.
No one person is smart
enough nor do they have the moral right to buy nominations across the country.
That is the system of
Tammany Hall and the Chicago machine. It should be repugnant to every
conservative and every Republican."
