Karl Rove Tries To Sabotage Newt’s Iowa Surge
TPM ^ | 12/6/2011 | PEMA LEVY

Posted on 12/06/2011 4:57:29 PM PST by TBBT

Karl Rove isn’t officially affiliated with any of the GOP candidates, but if you listen to him, it’s becoming increasingly clear he has a favorite. We’re not the first to notice, but Karl Rove seems firmly in the Mitt Romney camp. What’s more, he’s goes on TV a lot to lob attacks at just about every other candidate.

Rove has taken a stab at just about every candidate other than Romney, and on Tuesday it was Newt Gingrich’s turn. With multiple polls showing Newt Gingrich surging in Iowa, Rove took to Fox News, to undermined the former speaker:

“If in the polls newt is leading by 10 or 11 or 12 points going into the Iowa caucuses and doesn’t win by that margin people are going to say, well, he didn’t meet his mark. That is a challenge for somebody who has not built organization.”

” The best way to silence Rovio is to shut off FNC!! “

Isn’t that the truth. FOX is sooooo responsible for so much of the chaos inflicted upon our candidates and on us.
FOX boycott anyone? Advertiser boycott

How about a 4 DAY lock out of FOX? Greta isn’t so bad as the rest, and she used to be the liberal. Hannity and O’Reilly have become insufferable. The female pundits and achors in the day time are all legs, cleavage and blonds, with a few alpha males thrown in for contrast. Some contrast.

I agree with you. Bachmann has only one plan, Plan A, and that’s Romney/Bachmann.

There is no Plan B for Michele.

“republican establishment and democrats against American people”.

The truth will set us free. or keep us free might be a better way of putting it.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other (is my take on it).

Bingo, nonstatist!

Rove is nothing but a self-serving political whore, trying to drum up some business for himself.

I don’t understand why ANYONE gives Turdblossom credibility.
I wouldn’t trust him to get my Starbucks order right..and he’d probably make me pay for his too.

Hannity LOVES him...

Otherwise, he’s just a recently divorced has been.
He lost me with the ravaging of O’Donnell...and it’s going to be hard to avoid him during this election season..but I’m sure gonna try.

"Go Mitt. Go Mitt. Go Mitt"


"Rove is pushing Romney so aggressively
some folks are beginning to wonder what's going on,"
grumbled one veteran Republican strategist."


"Rove has made no secret
of his support for Romney as McCain's VP. "

Mine counts and I’m not watching Faux, save for Hannity and Greta, and I won’t watch when Rove is on.

And quoting from a distinguished observer...

Hey Sam - Don't Compare me to Rove!


I have many blue ribbons...

Only thing blue Rove has is a `blue plate special`, where he eats my cousins prepared poorly.

ONCE AND FOR ALL. And I mean ...ALL....

Michele WITH ONE “L”

Bachmann WITH TWO “N”s

Easy to remember:

Michele is her 1st name, 1 “L”

Bachmann is her 2nd name, 2 “N's

You are all welcome.

No wonder Bush approached the border like a liberal..
Rove is one.. maybe Bush is too.. in his heart..

Looks the “progressives” have a Plan A,B, and C..
A= Obama..
B= Romney..
C= nÕÕt...

The jerk is a vindictive as a jilted lover, which I'd imagine must be common ground for Karl, but you'd think he'd get over it by now.

Have we gone back in time? It feels like 2008 all over again. I am so sick of KR and FNC and all the progressives telling us what to do. I am sick of the fact that I am having to hold my nose again! Did we learn anything from the last election? Shut the damned tv and go with your gut, and screw KR,MR,NG. Progressives, Ugh! I am so pissed tonight.
