Karl Rove Tries To Sabotage Newt’s Iowa Surge
TPM ^ | 12/6/2011 | PEMA LEVY

Posted on 12/06/2011 4:57:29 PM PST by TBBT

Karl Rove isn’t officially affiliated with any of the GOP candidates, but if you listen to him, it’s becoming increasingly clear he has a favorite. We’re not the first to notice, but Karl Rove seems firmly in the Mitt Romney camp. What’s more, he’s goes on TV a lot to lob attacks at just about every other candidate.

Rove has taken a stab at just about every candidate other than Romney, and on Tuesday it was Newt Gingrich’s turn. With multiple polls showing Newt Gingrich surging in Iowa, Rove took to Fox News, to undermined the former speaker:

“If in the polls newt is leading by 10 or 11 or 12 points going into the Iowa caucuses and doesn’t win by that margin people are going to say, well, he didn’t meet his mark. That is a challenge for somebody who has not built organization.”

Tokyo Rove’s utterances and bovine processed feed grains are strikingly similar.

The A hole Rove actually campaigned against duly elected conservative candidates in the general election. Rove is an outright socialist.

Maybe he ought to have an accident, yeah, like fall off a bridge or something.

I think that whenever Hannity isn’t talking about himself, he is talking to Rove, or a small group of other assholes.

Rove and Hannity are both working hard to lower their standards.

Rove gave us Zero by telling George not to fight the media.
Hannity gave us Zero by torpedoing Hillary and promoting Rove.

Now Rove and Hannity just c-j each other on a regular basis.

Hannity is a cheerleader and not a very bright one.

To think, I once rather admired Rove.

Cheer up, thousands have said the same thing about Rove's lapdog, Dubya "see you at the bill signing" Bush.

“republican establishment and democrats against American people”.

Throw in a bunch of freeper Newt-bashers and you have a real trifecta.

Yep. Both got kneecapped by the national party. Angle could have and should have won. DE is a Dem state, so it is hardly surprising. The state and national party provided zero support, so they have plenty of ownership in the results. Rove also probably wants to ignore that it was a year where dozens and dozens of strong conservatives were sent to Washington to clean up Rove’s mess of the previous 10 years.

Thanks for posting that Seinfeld Pigman clip.

The last line says everything we need to know about Rove:

George: And he’s not a pigman, is he?

Kramer: No. He’s just a fat little mental patient.

Anyone out there not believe that Rove is getting a weekly “consulting” pay check from Romney?!?!?!

No politician can admit hiring Rove, but......
