The GOP Civil War

*cracking*

Karl Rove is taking shots at yet another target...Congressional Republicans.

Rove's target at this week's White House meeting with Congressional Republicans was Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Illinois) who narrowly won reelection last year in a Democratic district where he's in grave danger again next year, while Dan Meyer, the White House liaison to Congress, got into a shouting match with the outspoken and blunt Rep. Ray LaHood (R-Illinois)

Kirk had earlier told President that if things in Iraq do not turn around, his district "is preparing for defeat." Whether he meant defeat in the war or his own defeat is unclear, but Kirk won reelection against a Democratic opponent, Dan Seals, who was pretty unknown until the end by a 53%-47% margin. He may have to face Seals again, in a Democratic year, with the possibility of a native Illinoisan on the ticket (Obama.)

Cheney shot back with this;

"We didn't get elected to worry just about the fate of the Republican Party."

He's actually right about that, but it's funny he should say that since this administration has been using White House time and space to, do just that.

Nevertheless, if he expects the GOP in Congress to continue supporting him when it's THEIR heads on the block, he's crazy.
