Course, on second thought, maybe he was surprised that the GOP base, which for so many years has nodded in unison, saying "Yes, we believe you, that's rain coming down on our heads" -- which it's actually a stream of you-know-what from the White House -- finally had enough and said "No Mas, President Jorge!"
Rove may have "helped make" Bush,
but Bush broke himself!
When a guy wins the Presidency he and his advisors are geniuses,when their Party loses the majority in mid-term elections they’re idiots.Rove was an advisor to George Bush like Dick Morris once was to Bill Clinton,no more, no less.At the end of the day as a sign on Harry Truman’s desk in the Oval Office said, “The buck stops here”, and how the political landscape plays out is the President’s call,not his advisors !!!
Bush isn’t broken. He has won every battle with Pelosi and Reid. Coming up is vetos on spending. Stay tuned.
Rove was the strategist behind the failure to prevent illegal aliens from entry, I was told by a local GOP pol. Arrogantly, the WH failed to address the matter because they hoped to get corporate donations based on cheap labor. Therefor I doubt that the promised reforms will be implemented.
If Rove appears in another candidate’s campaign, then you know the candidate will continue Bush’s loosing policies and is doomed to defeat (HOPEFULLY).
I think you and the pollster are WRONG. Maybe Rove agreed with the shamnesty bill but he wasn’t the engine that made it go. That engine would be GW BUSH !!!
Yes, BUSH drove the train, but ROVE masterminded it.
Let me correct the statement. The “pol” was a local politician, endorsed by the GOP, running for office whom I know personally - not a “pollster” How would a pollster come to that knowledge from asking dorks on the street?
Bush won "comprehensive immigration"?..
????
Don't attribute any demise of the left to GWB - he's had too long to do it and he has failed to do it - assuming he wanted to do it - Pelosi and Reid are just as capable of scuttling themselves as Jorge is.
A “local” politician,like who? your dog catcher? Yeah I’m sure he’d have a real inside track on nat’l politics huh ???
What? are you deliberately trying to be too smart by half? He was on the same side as they were on immigration.
You smell like you have an ulterior motive...
Whatever,have a nice night !!!
Also none of Constitutionality.
I almost implied he'd got one right during the second term.
Obie, not to get you nuts, but after our exchange, an article came out. Ref: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/fbe0b986-4a8d-11dc-95b5-0000779fd2ac.html
How Karl Rove lost a generation of Republicans
By James Carville
The article is up on DRUDGE as of now. Although CARVILLE is a Dem strategist, he gives ROVE a lot of credit, including the illegal alien program. Not all negatives, although Carville has a point to make for the Dims.
GWB aint broken, and in fact is looking to be in a fairly good position these days.
(if he would just stay the heck off immigration reform)
