hoping this article would not be met with knee jerk hatred, but a quiet mind to weigh what it actually says

“I’m a myth,” Rove says...

No Karl. You're an @sshole. And, you almost singlehandedly have led the way for the GOP to morph into what it is today.

Good article. It reminds me of why Karl Rove is what is wrong with the Republican Party.

Just a reminder Karl, baby........Repub "legend" Rove is POSITIVE Republicans can NEVER win the latino vote---UNLESS we open our borders and grant amnesty to those who sneaked into the US, and are riding the US gravy train, sucking off the backs of struggling US taxpayers 24/7...

In this regard, Rove is in lock-step w/ Sen McCain, prez wannabe Jeb Bush, AND blood-thirsty La Raza and Dummycrat Cong Gutierrez....all are in agreement. Read on.

At the recent La Raza conference in Cali---Cong Luis Gutierrez (Dem-Ill) lacerated Republicans; he threatened Republicans---saying vengeful latinos would make sure they never win another presidency.

La Raza President/ and chief hater, Janet Murguia, told hyphenates that it sickened her to hear Americans chanting. She accused Murietta, Cali protesters of having "cloaked their hatred in patriotism" by shouting "'USA! USA!' again and again."

"It made me angry," she said. "In fact, I was outraged."

Murguia demanded amnesty and said the road to the White House for Republicans goes through the Latino community and La Raza. She also said Republicans who want to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program will not get Hispanic votes. ####

==================================================

BTW, Karl---the buzz is the loud-mouthed insignificant Hispanics are bolting the Dem Party b/c Boobamba has not delivered.

============================================

....and if Karl makes even ONE friendly move on these people....

This is a snarky, piece of $hit article. National Review has really gone down hill since the days of William F Buckley.

Carl Rove is toxic sewage. That is a fact. He only cares about making money for himself and will not hesitate to throw conservatives under the bus.

The problem with the Republican party is that their are too many liberals in the USA. More than 100 million people will never vote for a party that stands for limited government, federalism, constitutional rule of law, etc, unless someone in the Republican party (Ted Cruz?) starts to educate the masses why they should vote for GOP candidates.

Unless that day comes soon, the GOP and the USA is finished.

So one GOPe writes a love letter to another - big deal. Tokyo Rove is the face of the enemy. On November 5th we take a day off to celebrate and relax. On November 6th we start our war against the real enemy Rove and the GOPe.
In 2010 we made the Democrats afraid of us. Since then we have begun to make the media afraid of us (all their “TEA party is dead stories tell us that); now we have to complete the job and make the Republicans afraid of us.

"Those conservatives who think that Karl Rove is what’s wrong with the Republican party should try getting a couple of presidents or governors elected first."

This ignores that Rove/Romney decimated Sen Thompson,
and in the next election cycle Gov. Palin,
and in the next: Mr. Cain and the Speaker.

Adding in his lies about Iraqi WMD,
and his attacks on "witches" to destroy women candidates,
Rove is absolutely the reason why Obama is pRes_ _ent.

Mr. Rove wasted 450 Million dollars with zero return.

Mr. Rove had too distance himself from his own PAC due to donors either not wanting to be associated with or seen to be associating with him for fear of backlash against their own interests.

Has led the attack on the Tea Party Movement as well as his own conservative base.

This article is nothing but Mr.Williamson trying to restore the Turd Blossom's shine by vigorously polishing his dull brown lump of a reputations exterior all the while oblivious to the fact he is tarnishing his as well as what remains of National Review’s.

Good luck with that Fellas!

KR’s a perfect example of why you don’t want your enemy INSIDE your tent (big or small) who is ALSO pi$$ing INSIDE that same tent.

They do so much more damage on the inside.

Too bad. We don’t measure someone’s worth by how many elections they have “won,” but by how they support the platform. When you look at the real record, Rove hasn’t done squat. He is just as responsible for all the major GOP losses, and the war on conservatives. Karl deserves everything he gets—he is the problem.

The National Review used to pretend to be conservative. . Buckley was often an establishment shill, but he wasn’t a complete lick spittle. He has to be up to 8500 RPM by now...

I don’t have a problem with Karl Rove, but it would be nice if we had someone like Lee Atwater as the GOP’s pre-eminent political strategist rather than Rove, someone who understood how to go for the jugular while winning votes.

The article states that we should all defer to Pig Rove because he has a track record of winning, except that he doesn't win and it's not his fault that nobody likes or trusts the candidates he anoints.

No thanks. My hatred of Rove isn't knee jerk. I assure you my disdain for all things RINO is calm, calculated, and cold.

“Those conservatives who think that Karl Rove is what’s wrong with the Republican party should try getting a couple of presidents or governors elected first. Do keep us all informed about how that goes.”

Rove lost George Bush the popular vote his second time. As for his first “victory” it’s kind of like Mark Twain’s story of the angel telling the wicked rich man’s claim about successfully praying for the sun to rise—it was beside the point; it was predetermined beforehand.

"hoping this article would not be met with knee jerk hatred, but a quiet mind to weigh what it actually says "

Okay, let me take a little time here to reflect and to weigh things carefully.

I'm calmly taking Rove's measure...I'm deliberating, considering, and pondering with all gravity.

..................Yep, he's still a GOPer. I have no use for him.
