"His grand plan is to destroy the Democratic party by splitting off parts of key member groups. Get 3 percent more of black voters, 4 percent of hispanic voters, 5 percent of women, etc. Then the democrats lose their hold on power."
Oh, yes, now I see. You expect the MSM's portrayal of what happened to the blacks in NO to help Bush win them over. And then he loses 10 percent of his base, and then since he didn't nominate a Hispanic to the SCOTUS that will pull in a few of them. That's the ticket. I'm sorry I didn't see that brillian maneuver.
No, I don't, but that's the Rove master plan. Limbaugh has talked about it a few times...most recently more than a year ago I think.
It has nothing to do with events but an overall strategy: Convince moderates who are currently with the democrats that the republicans aren't so evil by pandering with more government spending and doing other things like not enforcing immigration law. They want to make the republicans the 'warm and fuzzy' problem that stands for little more than A) attracting voters and B) being the 'not democrats' party.
