Krauthammer, Rove, and Will get paid a lot to talk. We don’t get paid squat to listen.
I usually enjoy Krauthammer, but getting weary of his admonishing Palin that she should have been “schooling herself” in various topics. Who is he to know what she’s been doing? How does he measure what she does and when he deems that she has learn sufficiently in his mind? Snobbish?
There was a time I when idolized Karl Rove. When I heard him talk, he was filled with fire in the belly and spoke from his heart. He was passionate against the media and the Left. He spoke fire and brimstone against the Left and how their socialist policies was wrong for America. I would cheer him and say, "Karl Rove, you magnificent bastard!" He was 100% behind those who were on the same page as the conservative Right. Sarah Palin would have been on the top of his page. He would have been one of her cheerleaders and it would not have been lip service.
I am mystified by Karl Rove. I know he believes the same things about the Left and values the conservative cause. But what happened to him? He is like someones 16-year-old son who was the favorite son who did all things right. However, when he took the keys to the family car, he took it on an all-night joyride through the back roads; out of control with his friends. He was loving it all the way; it was a party with his friends, until he traveled down the wrong road and into the ditch. The way I see it, Karl Rove has gone into the ditch and he is either too afraid to call home for help or too proud to admit he went down the wrong road. Maybe he is too drunk on his feelings of self-importance to make the right decision. The more he spins his tires, the deeper he will get.
I say that Karl Rove, George Will and Charles Krauthammer had better step back and do a reality check on where they are and how much they are making things worse. The time of negative attack commentary is turning people off. It is the wrong thing for the wrong time. It is time they start cheer-leading anyone who is mounting a horse against the Obama Regime. It is time for an unified attack.
Every single candidate must be considered for the right things. Keep it positive. I compare it to a Consumer's Reports product comparison review. A candidate will be stronger on some features than others. The pundits' commentary should cause the candidates to compete on getting themselves right on more issues. Let the people decide which candidate has the best features and has the most value for America.
