It was no secret that after the last election in Nov 2012, many financial backers were livid with Rove, who was unable to purchase an election win for them, despite spending hundreds of millions of dollars to do so. Reports have said that his Super PAC group spent upwards of $390 million to support GOP candidates, but got little in return.

Now he has turned his hand to working as a King Maker, lining up his chosen few to face the Dems.

What is truly sickening is just how overt all of this is. There was a day when all of this would be done in smoke filled back rooms. Now - it's all out there in the open, like a pimple on a nose, for all to see, and everyone thinks it's...normal?

Yes, this is normal and there is really nothing wrong with it.
I would make as much money off the Republicans as I could just as Karl Rove is doing.
