It looks like the GOP hasn't thrown Rove out of the bus yet.

Staff writer
Former George W. Bush strategist (click here) and presidential adviser Karl Rove visited Fayetteville on Wednesday to raise money for Thom Tillis, the state House speaker and Republican candidate for U.S. Senate.
The soiree was held at the home of Terry and Rosalind Hutchens and open to people donating $1,000 to $2,600. The event was closed to the press; neither Rove nor Tillis granted interviews before the fundraiser.
Attendance and fundraising figures were not available Wednesday. Terry Hutchens, founder of the Hutchens Law Firm of Fayetteville, Charlotte and Wilmington, is a longtime supporter of Republican candidates, said Republican political consultant Carter Wrenn. Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan is the incumbent.

It is hard to believe Rove hasn't become old news yet. But, that is the GOP, they never change course and never modernize their agenda.

The dark money giant Crossroads GPS, (click here) launched by Republican strategist Karl Rove, told the IRS it raised almost $180 million in 2012, including one donation of $22.5 million, another of $18 million and another of $10 million. Fifty donations were for $1 million or more.  Because the group is a social welfare nonprofit, none of the donors have to be made public.
The details come from the group’s 2012 tax return, which Crossroads made available today at their Washington office. We picked up a copy and you can see it here.  
Crossroads raised more than twice as much in 2012 as it collected in 2010 and 2011combined.
The group also reported spending almost $75 million on direct and indirect campaign activities.
Crossroads GPS, also known as Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies, is the largest social nonprofit active in elections. The group was created after the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United ruling opened the door to unlimited corporate and union spending on elections, to super PACs and to hundreds of millions of dollars in anonymous money....

It is silly for donors to not be listed with GPS, all one has to do is send in a paparazzi golf caddy and the donors are exposed.

The GOP continues to shine each other on and figure next time will be the charm. They haven't been able to accomplish anything once in office. The House is stuck in "I hate life" and "I hate people, but, love money" won't cooperate with anything the nation needs. They are worthless. The GOP is basically mute across the board. If an entire House majority can't conduct the business of the nation, they need to be seen for they are, incompetent.

Mitt Romney’s donors (click here) attended a golf outing today at the Red Ledges Golf Club in Heber, Utah, but the excitement was really what went on Friday and Saturday at the events and panels. Romney’s top donors were treated to panels on specialized policy topics, such as healthcare or the financial services industry, heard speeches from stars of the Republican Party, such as former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and were granted access to the presidential candidate’s senior advisors for information about the inner workings of the campaign. All events were closed to reporters, but ABC News has the rundown of some of what these donors were privileged to hear.
