I vaguely remember a time when we actually liked Rove, but now he thumbs his nose at us and may as well be saying, "neener, neener" at conservatism!

There you go again .. ROTFLMAO LOL LOL LOL
LOL....good one, Phil.
That’s worth two votes! Carl Rove, devious propagandist and enemy of Conservatives

I can’t remember ever liking the guy. There were tell-tale signs there. I wasn’t a big supporter of Bush, so I was suspect of those around him. Rove stood out to me almost from the start.
There may have been a very few instances when I agreed with him, but his inclinations regarding Conservatism weren’t any better than Bush’s.
I liked Bush, Condi and all of them back then, still like Dubya - I’ll admit. I think he leads with his heart, you can see it in how he treats the Military. Turns out that none of them were the conservatives we thought them to be.
Potlatch, that’s fine. It’s water under the bridge for me. I’m not here to give you a hard time over it. I saw his proclivity to toss money at education in Texas as a fix, to be way too Leftist for me. Generally money isn’t the problem. It’s the spending outside the classroom that is. Fix that, reallocate funds, and things fix themselves.
His support for amnesty was the last nail in his coffin for me. I will never support someone who wants ‘not an amnesty amnesty’.
Did he do some decent things? Sure. Were they enough?
His legacy has two more years to go. Nice, good heart, I’m sorry but that just doesn’t cut it.
Jimmy Carter was nice. He was also a lamebrain.

I’m confused......we were talking about Bush so I don’t understand your ‘legacy’ comment.
Sad to say, when Bush handed off the worst economy in a number of decades, he pretty much sunk our chances of remaining in the White House.
We can debate his role in it, but the sad thing is it happened on his watch, and he was far too reluctant to explain what the Democrats (and Republicans) on Capital Hill had ushered in.
He bears some responsibility too. So does McCain for being an idiot candidate.
Still, here we are and we can’t honestly say this isn’t the Bush legacy in part. Obama was completely unqualified to lead, and yet contrasting the former administration as the economy melted down, he indeed did sound to many as a better choice.
Very sad, but true none the less.
