By nearly every metric, Democrats are finding that Obamacare is a millstone around their necks for the upcoming 2014 midterm elections. Yet so-called Republican Karl Rove is telling the GOP to stop attacking Obamacare? What is he thinking?
Yet, even as Rove says Republicans shouldnt Attack Obamacare, elections statistician Larry Sabato Says Obamacare is killing Democrats. What is Karl Rove thinking by telling Republicans not to attack Obamacare very hard while Larry Sabato is saying the Dems are extremely vulnerable on Obamacare?
Rove made his comments in a new Wall Street Journal piece.
The only thing that could rescue Democrats is for Republican candidates to appear as advocates for the pre-ObamaCare status quo. Hopefully, theres not much of a chance of that.
On the other hand, Larry Sabato said this:
The problem that is, when you are on the offense, using your time in the public arena, to discuss a subject that people have more or less already made up their minds about and dont like it, youre wasting your time in the arena, he said.
Sabato also pointed out the minority of the public that does favor Obamacare is not very enthusiastic about it, a possible recipe for disaster in midterm elections.
But the majority who oppose Obamacare are much more charged up, and theyre the people who tend to turn up in a low turnout midterm election.
Is Rove trying to say the GOP should work to keep Obamacare and just tinker on the edges of it thereby taking a great issue away from GOP candidates?
Why would he be saying this when it is clear that Obamacre is a major stumbling block for Democrats going into this election?
Maybe we are seeing that Karl Rove is a lover of big government after all?

Fat Cat RHINO Operative!!!
What do you expect. Rove has been working for the Big Government loving Bush Syndicate since he dropped out of college.
Rove sees one and only one thing. Paying clients. Every day that Rove is on TV he is interviewing for a campaign. Rich, country club Republicans who will hire him to get them into the government and access to the treasury.
I think that is called a whore.
Is this guy unemployable or what? Doesn’t he have anything to do but sell his slop to FAUX News?
No surprise here. This is the loon that decided being a ;compassionate conservative’ meant opening the borders and spending the country into oblivion.
I wish ‘the architect’ would go find a dimorat to destroy
Message to Karl Rove: Karl, update your party immediately to Democrat. I have had enough of you operating as a democrat in Republican suits.
You’re right. The point here is that there are a LOT of winnable elections where the GOP candidate can’t just run against Obamacare but needs to have an alternative, a Conservative alternative, in their back pocket that they can pull out and wave around.
My response? Hear No EVIL!! Go wax and buff your bald head, Mr. Rove. You have lead too many conservatives like the Pied Piper, singing and dancing straight to their doom!
Karl speaks out of both sides of his mouth - most of the time.
He purports to be a voice for conservatism .. however, he is very invested in seeing ALL CONSERVATIVE VOICES in Congress are silenced. He’s made statements when he thought we weren’t listening or paying attention.
Karl is only interested in re-electing the “good ole boys” club .. and those are exactly the ones we need to replace.
I don't know what it was you said that caused the ban...but I probably agree.
Check out article and #'s 2 and 3.

Let’s just get to the heart of the matter and attack the charlatan, Karl Rove. He richly deserves our scorn.
I nominate Karl Rove for GOP-e Outreach Chairman for the city of Detroit......
IMO he will say anything to get attention. He’s so afraid that his times up! Hopefully FOX and others will get the message soon
Rest assured you are not alone in that wish. The man is a walking-talking advertisement for the democrat party.
I hope his ex wife gets most of that.
FUKR
Of course Republicans won't mention any of that for fear of offending Obama.
