Indeed, I smell ozone.

[pissant]

You know me, not the biggest Palin fan. But good flippin grief Rove, shut your effin trap.

[AFreeBird]

All the above - in Spades!

[B Knotts]

LOL...no kidding! What is Rove’s problem?

[allmendream]

Bulls Eye to the target he wanted to hit.

This is supposed to be a Travel type program, NOT a “reality show” where people scream at each other and talk behind their backs and vote them off the island.

did Rove not know what day it is? It is not Nov 3 yet. rove needs to shut the hell up and hold his fire until Wed of next week. He is costing us Power and seats make no mistake about it. Rove and the Rinos would rather have the Dems lead us then conservatives. Rove’s 15 min are over He is becoming the parker of the right.

Screw Rove.

Yes, what is it about this lady that seems to freak them out. LOL

IMO, it's that they think she can actually win.

And, that she will do what she says she will do, when she does win.

Plus, she doesn't owe the "party" much of anything; she's more likely to give her loyalty to the people who elected her, the voters.

Further, they've thrown everything but the kitchen sink at her for the last two years, and it hasn't stopped her, yet.

If you were a politician, wouldn't that scare you, too?

Well two of them are gone Castle and Bennet. Hopefully a third and foruth will be gone come tues Lisa and Christ

[Red_Devil 232]

Mr. Rove said it was unlikely that voters would regard someone starring in a reality show as presidential material.

Hmmmmmmmm

 

[susannah59]

Karl, you poor demented boob, after Barack Hussein Obama, a gerbil has enough gravitas to be president.

LOL! Thank you! You are so right!

I don't believe it's that she lacks gravitas, so much as that she lacks the ruling class elitist trappings. She doesn't have that proud old family name, like Kennedy, or that Harvard degree, like Obama, and isn't even a brilliant practicing lawyer, like Mrs. Obama. (Oh, wait...)

Now, come to think of it, I'm not so sure that many of us out here in flyover country don't see her lack of those things as assets!

[2ndDivisionVet]

BINGO!!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Rove is clearly working now for Romney or one of the other RINO hacks...

[Servant of the Cross]

Bull’s Eye by Karl Rove.

One more sentiment to add to the other very curious opinions coming from FL newbie?

Unfortunately, Karl Rove was right about O’Donnell. Oh well.

I made a big mistake in voting for George W. Bush during the 2000 Republican primary. He is more of a buffoon than anything else.

George W. Bush: Mr. RINO himself. GWB makes John McCain look like a conservative.

“Hey, appearing on TV didn’t hurt Fred Thompson. Oh, wait a minute...’

Appearing on the Arsenio Hall show in June of 1992 wearing Blues Brothers shades and playing the tenor sax sure didn’t hurt President Bill Clinton.

Rove is carrying water for Romney here.

If Palin wants to make a run in 2012, then she has more important things to be doing than appearing on the Discovery Channel.

Unbelievable.

[FloridaSunrise]

How about

Sarah Palin for President and

Christine O’Donnell for VP?

Talk about a Dream Ticket!

[Servant of the Cross]

Nah ... that's just one extreme for another. And besides, you don't believe it.

Here's the more realistic set of questions on the test ...

Christine O'Donnell or a Bearded Marxist?

George W. Bush or Algore?

George W. Bush or Juan McQueeg?

Rove (presuming to speak for Americans) or the sentiment of actual Americans about the fitness of Sarah Palin for POTUS?

[The Pack Knight]

So, just to clarify, is it your position that it is a good idea for an aspiring Presidential candidate to do a reality TV show?

[2ndDivisionVet]

My position is that it's not 1960 or 1980 anymore. Do you know that at for the longest time it was considered beneath the presidential candidates to actually campaign and they received visitors on their porch swings instead? Times change. What was Senator Bob Dole's Internet strategy in 1996? President Reagan didn't have Fox News in 1984. Plus, an outdoor series on Discovery isn't the same as Jersey Shore, Real Housewives or Jackass is it?
