The “author” was raving on about free speech like a lunatic! The left really has come undone!

Boy, folks here are so fickle. It wasn’t so long ago that those “Karl Rove, you magnificant bastard” posts were everywhere.

Hmmm. We do not have any power anywhere in government. Rove, in my opinion, thought for the day and what he could get and not for tomorrow or the future. Yea, he was good in 2000. Looking back, dont know.

The ObamaComs took political “strategy” to another level. Rove, Rollins and all of the other Republican “strategists” haven’t figured that out yet. Governor Palin has. Politics is now a whole new ballgame.

Both Karl Rove and Ed Rollins are being completely disingenuous. They know exactly where this is headed. Sarah aims to follow in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan and his wilderness years (holding no job)from 1974-1980 to the Presidency and a landslide victory and take her case and message to the American people in the next 40 months. The advantage Sarah will have while she is in the wilderness that Reagan did not have is the Internet, the right-wing blogosphere and the 24 hour news cycle.

Rove/Bush43 destroyed the Republican party by abandoning its core principles and trying to appease the Left. Go away Rove; you ain’t no genius.

I think you may be right.. I would like to see Todd invite Letterman to have a few beers, and discuss Sarahs slutty stewardess attire, and their daughter getting knocked up, I am sure after a few cold ones Letterman would like to have Todd on his show..if he was still able to walk and talk..

Rove is nothing but a paid mouth piece for the insider power structure. Simply, Rove is a traitor to this nation.

SARAH’S HIGHER CALLING:

Sarah Palin would do more for the nation, in my opinion – that is - take over the RNC and kick out Steele. She could get much more done for this nation as opposed to running for office - that could come later...

This would:

* Bring conservative principles back to the RNC (small government, get government out of our lives, lower taxes, 2nd amendment support, state's rights, small business support, strong defense, non-nonsense foreign policies) Conservatism works every time it is tried.

* She could be a credible spokesperson for energy, drilling, etc in light of sane environmental initiatives.

* She could, on a daily basis, take the wind out of Barry's sails on a host of his anti-American issues (bank take-overs, nationalization of large sectors of the economy, socialism, class warfare, generational theft, bigger government, anti-job creation). Her media appeal would take away from the daily barrage of "new plans" put out ad nauseum by Barry, Rahm, Steffy, and Astro-Turf Axelrod. She would be a countervailing force to the crap we get from the White Crib on a nearly hourly basis.

* She could - and this is the biggest reason - help with a 1994-esque take-over of both houses and start blocking the hopey-dopey-changey-strangey crap we have seen for the last 6 months.

Karl Rove’s parting gift to the GOP was a loss of 30 seats in the House and a loss of 6 seats in the Senate in 2006. Rove’s brilliance in beating Gore and Kerry didn’t really say much about his so-called genius. And his role in the 2006 midterm debacles show that he was in over his head and incompetent.

First thought that came in my mind as well — not part of the decision and knew nothing about it before it broke.

Rove gave us Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack The Kenyan. He is an incompetent boob and should waterboarded for all of the awful advice he gave to GWB.

Maybe she will do a reverse Reagan. He did his speeches for years and then became Governor.....she was Governor and now she’ll do speeches so more Americans know what she stands for.

I agree with your analysis. I watched the replay of unveiling of the Reagan statue in the Congress last night and listened very carefully to Jim Baker’s words about Reagan and all I could think was Sarah is cut of that same mold. Reagan wasn’t a member of the DC elitist but a down to earth person who loved this Country and felt deeply about that ‘shining city on the hill’ and a return of America to greatness.

Reagan was an optimist about this Country at a time when it was split and not much to be optimistic about with Carter as President and before that Watergate. He never gave up that as he had a vision that there would be better days for America.

I see that same vision in Sarah when speaks.
