Did Karl Rove Accidentally Reveal That He Expects Obama to Win in 2012?
New York Magazine ^ | December 23, 2010 | Dan Amira

On Fox News last night, Republican political operative extraordinaire Karl Rove discussed the possibility of Hillary Clinton running for president in 2016.

"I suspect she will be a candidate. I suspect she is going to think about being a candidate in 2016, and we'll know by about 2014. If she leaves the [Obama] Administration in 2014 or 2015, in order to give herself a chance to write a book about her experiences and reconnect with the grassroots, then she might entertain it."

And what would be the clue to Clinton's intentions if there is no Obama administration in 2014? Rove didn't address that scenario.

Jeez. It is enlightening to have these inside the beltway dunces mouth off to tell us what they really believe. I wish I knew this in '04 before I voted for the gentleman who thought that saving the free market involved ruining it. Where is our Cliff Barnes to this guys elitist backed JR? We need him now.

Mitt, Jeb and Newt appear to be non-starters. Mitt has Romneycare. Newt has his pro-establishment antics. Jeb’s last name is “Bush.”

I have to agree with you. FOX has become Bi-Polar. Fair and balanced bi-polar schmoes.

...In 1978, Krauthammer quit medical practice to direct planning in psychiatric research for the Jimmy Carter administration, and began contributing to The New Republic magazine. During the presidential campaign of 1980, Krauthammer served as a speech writer to Vice President Walter Mondale....
...In January 1981, Krauthammer began his journalistic career, joining The New Republic as a writer and editor....

...on domestic issues, Krauthammer is a supporter of legalized abortion; an opponent of the death penalty; an intelligent design critic and an advocate for the scientific consensus on evolution, calling the religion-science controversy a “false conflict;” a supporter of embryonic stem cell research using embryos discarded by fertility clinics with restrictions in its applications; and a longtime advocate of radically higher energy taxes to induce conservation....

I believe, as you do that she is incorruptible. Do you have any idea what her opinion of the NWO is. Bush and his father were strong proponents, as are all establishment Republicans.

So 3 of the last six presidents lost re-election bids - 50%

If Barry runs again, which I don’t think he will, he would tip the balance to 4 out of 7 not winning a second term, IMHO.

I need to add that I don’t think ANY of those people you mention can win either.

Although I have not seen a specific statement from her on NWO, I think that her strong patriotism, and belief in individualism, the American Dream and Exceptionalism are strong indicators that she is 100% anti-NWO, and thus the opposition from the slime you referenced!

Well, I’ll raise $2 million dollars for Governor Sarah Palin. I won’t lift a finger to help a Romney, Huckabee or Bush.

As much as I disliked McCain, he would have been much better than what we have now. No matter who gets the nomination will be better than who we have now. If Sarah gets the nod, fine. If not, we will have to suffer with a RINO.

Still, a RINO is better than what we have now.

In my opinion many Republicans don’t want to rebuild the country. They only care about themselves and, to a lesser extent, their party. They care little about their country and nothing about conservatism. These guys are middle-aged or older and all they want is to be comfortable for their remaining years. This is the very definition of “ruling class,” and it’s why people are increasingly fed up with ALL politicians, not just the Marxists.

In my darker moments I sometimes wonder if there is any peaceful way this can be stopped. I pray that there, and I have great hope for the incoming Congress.

It's still Hillary "I have no intention of running" Clinton's turn.

Rumors of her leaving the SoS position.

National Clinton Enquirer "outing" The One....

It's still Her Turn.

Barack Hussein Alinsky.

Hillary Rodham Alinsky.

How shall you choose, grasshopper?

If Palin wins, Tokyo Rove is out of a job. He’s afraid, very afraid.

Judging from FReeper awareness (5% at most) as to exactly what Agenda 21 and the NWO are all about, I won’t be confident until I hear her say that she has researched the issue and knows exactly how harmful they are to America.

Your darker moments are realism. The next two years are going to be a storm the likes of which we’ve never seen. Stock up on food.

All it takes is republicans running commercials of biden and o-hole blasting GWB’s 5% unemployment as ‘the worst ever’ and then showing their 4 year record of unemployment under them, with them running the clip of biden saying that 10% unemployment is the ‘new norm’.

imho one of the republican states which recently created supermajorities in its state houses to go along with a repbublican governor— is going to pass
a law mandating that every presidential candidate
must show a long form birth certificate.

That will cause Obama some problems.

Point taken - if Palin isn’t anti-NWO, then I would say no one in politics today are.

This ‘it can’t happen here’ attitude is bringing us down faster than I ever imagined. I don’t know if it’s because they are afraid to examine the truth or what but its hurting us.
