When the left manipulates we have called it out.   So it is only intellectually honest to call out this latest Republican manuever.  
Ed Gillespie joining the Romney campaign as “senior advisor” is the most visible example of the establishment machine, and deceptive conservatives (decepticons), pulling the levers of control.

The announcement of Ed Gillespie joining Team Romney would never have happened even just weeks ago when it was still questionable about Romney winning the primary.    Now that Romney has all but secured the primary we will see the “establishment” come out of the shadows and reveal themselves and their prior control of the primary chess game.
Ed Gillespie and Karl Rove are the partners in the American Crossroads SuperPac.  It was their creation from the very beginning.   According to FactCheck.Org:

Ed Gillespie, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee, and Karl Rove, who served as senior adviser to President George W. Bush, were instrumental in helping to launch American Crossroads in 2010. Although neither serve in any official capacity, Gillespie and Rove “encouraged the formation” of American Crossroads and serve as “informal advisers” and fundraisers, says the group’s spokesman, Jonathan Collegio.

The day-to-day operations are run by Chairman Mike Duncan, a former RNC chairman, and President and Chief Executive Officer Steven J. Law, a  former deputy secretary of labor in the administration of George W.  Bush. Law also served as general counsel to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The biographies of Duncan, Law and other top staffers can be found here.

“Informal advisors”, yeah, right…. Whatever.   I have documented Rove and Gillespie’s strategic control of that SuperPac for over 2 years.  Most evident when Christine O’Donnell knocked off the American Crossroads supported candidate Mike Castle in Delaware.
Gillespie now joining Romney only goes to further show how the entire construct of the Republican primary was controlled by the decepticons from the very beginning.
However, now that Gillespie has officially joined team Romney his relationship to the SuperPac is even more questionable.   This needs to be watched closely, there are massive conflicts of interest here and possible illegal or fraudulent election fundraising and campaign finance activity.
