One Ray of Sunshine . . .

Posted on 11/07/2012 5:25:20 AM PST by Arm_Bears

The credibility (such as it was) of Dick Morris and Karl Rove has been shredded.

As such, this forum is now free to ignore any of the tripe spewed from their pie holes.

(Of course, they will still be embraced by the GOP-e.)

I don't appreciate someone telling me what I'm "free" to do and not do.

It's not yours to give, so climb down.

And don't forget this shmuck too (just a day before the election) - "Prediction: Romney Beats Obama, Handily" ... By Michael Barone.

Well, at least we can still count on the great wisdom of Krauthammer (sp), Krystal, and Hume. /sarc

You can't shred something that doesn't exist.

Bingo. Let’s not limit ourselves to people that we disliked beforehand.

On a day like today, the best...the very best you can come up with is to demonize those who fought along side us? Really? That is your best thought on this day?

So these guys were saying exactly what most of you were saying here and now they are schmucks?? Why don’t you go back and find the predictions thread. 90%+ on here thought it was going to be a big night.

Micheal Barone and George Will both made very similar predictions to what Morris did.

Dick Morris is an idiot. He is wrong constantly. I mean, this is the guy who wrote that stupid Condi v Hillary book. Fox News should fire him immediately after his latest ridiculous prediction of a Romney landslide.

Rove had skin in the game. His Crossroads and Crossroads GPS super PAC’s were some of the biggest money backing Republicans in the entire campaign. I appreciate his efforts at trying to help the good guys, but Fox News should not have such a person as an analyst.

Barone I am disappointed. The polls were pointing to a narrow Obama victory - particularly the state polls. I think he just refused to see certain things because he was hoping Romney would win.

Barone knows his stuff (or at least seemed to up until now), and I’ve always assigned a great deal of validity to his observations. That he was so off this time around suggests some chicanery afoot. My suspicions are further aroused by the fact that, despite Obama being re-elected, there was very little change in the House.

But we don’t expect them to be election specialists. Morris helped Clinton and Rove helped Bush so you’d think they’d know what they were talking about.

i kind of laughed when people were going ga-ga over Barone’s predictions but kept my mouth shut....isn’t he the same dope that claimed the GOP would hold onto the house and senate in 2006??? he’s the GOP version of zogby...

as far as Rove- people hate him but you know what, he knows how to win elections....he should be running the GOP...Freepers went nuts on Monday when he released his updated electoral map- in retrospect he wasn’t far off:

Dick Morris, yea, throw him out. Even though I thought it was a clear Romney victory (and big one at that), I’m an amateur and He’s not.

As for Rove, he was a bit more subdued and he did engineer the W’s 8 years for us. So I give him a partial pass.

Toss Peggy Noonan and her Kindergarden gobblygook out as well.

As for Romney, though not my preferred candidate, I like the way he ran his campaign and I liked his demeanor and optimism. Even though in the end, it was violently ripped from us, he gave us a six weeks of hope.

As for the turd Chris Christie, he’s no chance for 2016. I don’t blame him or hold it against him for touring damage wrecked NJ — after all that’s what he’s supposed to do, look after his state. I blame him because his stomach eclipses his potential and would have made him a laughing stock as VP candidate and even more a laughing stock if he goes into 2016 with it.

Then someone should tell him that for he most certainly considers himself a political prognosticator.
