Well, if Karl does pull it off his nickname will definitely have to change: From "turd blossom" to "Mr. Phelps" (Mission Impossible).

Well, apparently, if Republicans win, it won't be because:
1) Most Americans are inherently Conservative
2) The Democrats have no message
3) The Democrats hate this country
4) Most Americans have grown to distrust the Democrats and their media allies
Nope. If Republicans win, it will be because Karl Rove is an evil, secretive, genius.

I guess they actually believe their own hype now about the polls. Republicans are going to win this year, this is the same garbage we have been hearing every election cycle, and every election cycle the dimwits get their brains beat out, and it will be so this year.

With polls showing that voters favor Democrats over Republicans in the coming congressional races.. And when don't the "polls" say that? Been around too long to quake every time I hear this.

"WASHINGTON - With polls showing that voters favor Democrats over Republicans in the coming congressional races, even some Republican strategists are pessimistic. But they're overlooking the power of Karl Rove."
You are correct. Every election cycle Democrats are poised to win back large numbers of seats because Americans are dissatisfied with how the country is being run.
And after every election cycle the Mediacrats are praising the courage of the defested Democrats and their moral victories.

Based on all the weather forecasts I have been hearing, the evil Dr. Rove (tm) has a big Republican brand Hurricane on it's way to thin out the herds up in the northeastern Blue States.

All I keep coming back to about Rove is the comment he made to Sensenbrenner re:I llegal Immigration - "You just don't like brown people". That did it for me. He is a piece of crap, I don't care how many election cycles he impacts, we KNOW where he stands - PRO ILLEGAL.

The demos think the repubs are clueless as to what is going on with the publics' mindset. I still believe the demos will get the crap beat out of them come November, and quite frankly, it will be a lot of fun watching them point fingers at each other for the blame. Reid and Pelosi will blame each other and both will turn on Dean. I promise you, it will be a blood bath on their side, and provide some super comedy for us to watch!

Rove is overrated. He almost lost the 2004 election despite having an incumbent President in wartime with a good economy against the most liberal senator from the most liberal state in America. Kerry had so much personal baggage and an unattractive wife yet he made the race very close. The SBVFT made the difference and Rove had nothing to do with it.

This one looks dicey. Mr. Rove has to:
- Take Osama off ice in the basement. No point saving him for anything else.
- Have a hurricane hit a state that's properly prepared and isn't run by the most corrupt local government imaginable. Then the government's response will look better.
- Get Pakistan and England to agree to arrest and torture another cabal of terrorists. You know they did the last one just to help Joe Lieberman. Word is Joe is Musharref's and Blair's bitch.
- Have another Dem meltdown at a high profile funeral (hopefully Jimmy Carter's).
- Decide that security in Iraq has progressed to the point where the rest of the WMD details can be released.
- Convince Syria that Iran is really an enemy, not an ally. This will require a significant upgrade to the mind machine but it's all a spinoff of BMD anyway.
- Release the evidence that Joe Wilson was passing WMD intel from Valerie to Saddam to thwart the inspectors looking for WMD. Hey, it's not whether it's true or not, it's the seriousness of the charges.

Democrats will never be able to do the kind of Data Mining that Republicans do, because no one has created a Database that has commands for 'Spin', 'Lie' or 'Twist' on the data they gather.

If they lose (and I believe also they will), they will be pointing their fingers at "election fraud" and the electronic voting and demanding re-counts. They will call every lost race an illegitimate Republican victory. This pattern started with Gore and has been emulated world-wide by liberals ever since those horrific re-count weeks in 2000.

The "personal baggage" Kerry has was not reported by the media, he was played the hero all the way. Until we have a non-corrupt media, Republicans have a tremendous disadvantage that even a genius like Rove cannot get past and we will have close, difficult elections even when they run total losers on the left.

Now Rove and Mehlman knew that if a voter drove a Mercury, subscribed to a hunting magazine, and belonged to a church, he or she was open to voting Republican. If the voter drove a Subaru and contributed to the Sierra Club, he or she would likely vote for Democrats.I knew that, even without all the fancy info nuggets.

I LOVE Ken Mehlman...he's one of the most Articulate men I have ever seen on TV. I agree, but being articulate only works if your message is true. For example, a couple of weeks ago I was having dinner with my youngest son and two of his friends, one of whom has been converted to the dark side thanks to his attending Harvard since 2003. He seemed fixated on the $300 billion dollars that we have spent in Iraq, furthering his argument with very specific areas that most feel require attention like port security, better airport security, more human intelligence, border security etc. He did about a 10 minute, very well thought out forceful and articulate diatribe on how that $300 billion could have been better spent on these other areas. Then he gave me one of those pompous grins that only a liberal can muster when he thinks he has out matched his opponent until I said: "So what you are saying is that you would have spent 300 billion dollars to realize the exact same results that President Bush has achieved. Zero attacks on America, how liberal of you." Now I can assure you this young man whom I have known for nearly 20 years is going to be a powerful force in our country in the future. He is extraordinarily smart, quick witted, articulate and caring; but he is currently singing the wrong tune. |
