Rove represents the worst of the elitist GOP establishment.
Via NY Mag
…One week before the 2010 midterm elections, Rove took aim at Sarah Palin, questioning the wisdom of her appearance on a reality show, Sarah Palin’s Alaska, if she really wanted to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate. Palin lacked the “gravitas” to be president, went a subhead in the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph.
Rove later tried wriggling out of his comments, as well as observations he made in a German magazine that tea-partiers weren’t “sophisticated,” being unfamiliar, as Rove was, with intellectuals like the economist Friedrich August von Hayek. But Rove’s backhands weren’t accidental, nor was he the victim of outrageous tabloid reporting. When I bring up his statements about Palin during our interview, Rove says only that he wished he’d made his comments on Fox News instead—before going into a withering impersonation of Palin, recalling a scene from her TV show in which she’s fishing.
“Did you see that?” he says, adopting a high, sniveling Palin accent: “‘Holy crap! That fish hit my thigh! It hurts!’”
“How does that make us comfortable seeing her in the Oval Office?” he asks, disgusted. “You know—‘Holy crap, Putin said something ugly!’”
Good, I believe some people should not vote.
It doesn’t matter what you think.
“My mind is anyone who is anti Washington and establishemnt so anti Rove and Bush yes.”
Can someone please translate the above statement into something intelligible?
Back at you.
In Texas we always have smiled when people talked about Bush the conservative. He is not. He is a liberal Republican and so is his Dad, except he is a little further to the right. On the social issues, probably his women better reflect what he really thinks. On foreign policy we now know that he began to shift more leftwards as he turned increasingly to Condi. On the surge, he said it himself: It has to work. If it had not, he would have had to build very high walls around his houses.
A fascist who could give a speech in English without a teleprompter. From Alaska to Florida.

Thank God Zero's not made of the same stuff!
While Carmel is home to (rich!) free spirits (and Dirty Harry), I would hesitate to equate it to the Free World.
We blame rove for helping to destroy the country and getting Obama elected.
Cheers!
Wow. Thanks for the link.
“How does that make us comfortable seeing her in the Oval Office?” he asks, disgusted. “You know—‘Holy crap, Putin said something ugly!’”
Karl, Hmmmmm..versus ‘your’ candidate’s serious gravitas moment!!!"There's Adam Clymer -- major league asshole -- from the New York Times," Bush said.(September 4, 2000)
So how many statewide or national campaigns have you helped run?
“Tokyo thinks he’s still relevant.”
They do? Why so?
Maybe someone should inform them of his proclivities to take the low road.
Ouch! Touche!
Did they make up all these videos of Mr. Rove slamming Gov. Palin, the Tea Party movement and all that? Will the Left use it? Of course! But there’s fire with this smoke.
Well, if Rove is attacking Palin, Palin’s definitely on to something here!! he’s just mad that he didn’t get a big contract to control her, and that Mitt the Ken doll Romney is where Rove is getting paid.
The DEMOCRATS want Romney to be the GOP nominee, too—and that should really tell ya something!
This is very destructive and he is playing with fire. Since his disgraceful dump on Christine O’Donnell, I routinely ‘mute’ Rove or change the channel whenever he appears.
Many, many citizens are fed up with this kind of elitisim. Whomever he endorses I will most likely ignore at the polls regardless of the outcome, and I suspect this is true for a lot of people.
Jealousy is an ugly thing. So is watching everything you’ve done to advance the NWO be swept aside by the Barracuda.
