'''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. For an encore, 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]]. | '''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.
