'''Karl Christian Rove''' (born December 25, 1950, age {{age|1950|12|25}}) is a [[RINO Backer]] known for losing the [[Congress]] to a [[Democrat]] takeover in 2006 and pursuing policies that resulted in the [[Republican Party]] to suffer landslide defeats in the 2008 elections.

Defeated by [[Ken Paxton]] when he won the primary and general election for [[Texas]] Attorney General, Karl Rove was apparently part of the cabal behind an ambush [[Paxton Impeachment|sham impeachment]] of Paxton merely a few days before the end of the legislative session in May 2023.  Rove immediately published a one-sided article in the ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' praising this (sham) impeachment, and including details not widely known. But [[conservative]]s rallied behind Paxton and he won acquittal by a landslide in the Texas Senate on September 16, 2023, in a repudiation of the power and credibility of Karl Rove and his group.

On December 6, 2024, Rove's lackey on the failed impeachment, Texas House Speaker [[Dade Phelan]], withdrew from the race for reelection as Speaker in further illustration of Rove's declining influence.

Perhaps to cater to [[Liberalism|socially liberal]] donors to his [[Super PAC]], in August 2012 Rove made vicious remarks against [[conservative]] [[Todd Akin]] in an unsuccessful attempt to force him to give up his nomination for the [[U.S. Senate]]. Furthering Rove's downward spiral, less than 2% of candidates backed by Rove's Super PACs succeeded in the 2012 General Election.<ref>http://reporting.sunlightfoundation.com/2012/return_on_investment/</ref>  Since leaving the White House in 2007, Rove has worked as a political analyst and contributor for [[Fox News]], ''[[Newsweek]]'' and ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]''.  Rove is part of the [[Establishment]] as a crony of [[George W. Bush]].
