Talk about sour grapes! Karl Rove just regurgitated on Hannity all the RINO talking points against Christine O'Donnell and basically says he thinks this is no longer a seat the GOP can win. She's got "character flaws," didn't explain to the voters the discrepency in her college degree, Castle was the other "conservative" choice for voters...It's all over for Karl, his fellow RINO lost to an actual Big "C" Conservative.

He will praise her, and take credit for her being in the position she is in, you just bet on it. None of them seem to have any SHAME about anything they do. He will reverse himself.
Thanks for the link but I couldn’t get the audio to load. I’ll take your word for it as we are all on the same side wanting what is best for our party.
Don’t be a palooka Zuben...:-)
See post #187.
Follow the money.
No sir, the sheep voters of PA are the reason Specter is in the Senate. Don’t downplay their role because it is key to this current problem.
Yeah I remember that-- Mr. Internet(S) himself went and campaigned for him at the last minute.
I think you replied to the wrong person. :)
Rove is Bush’s surrogate.
‘Yeah Karl, good thing people with “character flaws” can’t win elections... The next thing you know some non-inhaling rapist from some backwater like say Hope Arkansas could become Prez.... Yeah Karl, good thing people with “character flaws” can’t win elections.’
Yep, an alcoholic with a dui in his past could never be elected.
How about a black man that admitted cocaine use?
” He should go back to sucking toes. “
I’m pretty sure that was Dick Morris.
Dick Morris.
I listened to the interview. Thanks for posting.
She doesn't have a smooth style. But I do believe she did answer every question that was asked her and some of the allegations seem quite trivial.
Yes, she has a small campaign debt from '08. I don't think that's a big deal. She's paying it down. The interviewer kept harping on about it but I thought her explanation the first time was adequate.
On the issue of the degree...apparently, she didn't get the actual degree until she had paid off her loan but she still considered herself technically a graduate. That is not unreasonable.
What we really, REALLY need to do now to make this MEANINGFUL is to actually help her win the general. Because doing that WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT would show the party and the whole country that the real power lies with the people. And isn’t that what this whole movement is about? This is the ultimate opportunity to show up the pundits and puppeteers for the charlatans that they are. But we need to put up or shut up NOW.
I sez, “ PUT UP!!! “
You're cherry picking numbers to create meaningless stats. Here are the actual results...
| Election Year | House Seats | Senate Seats |
|---|---|---|
| 2000 | -2 | -4 |
| 2002 | +8 | +2 |
| 2004 | +3 | +4 |
| 2006 | -30 | -6 |
| Net | -21 | -4 |
As you can see, the republicans had less congressional seats after Rove than before.
If you want an example of midterm election power, check out the 1932 and 1934 elections. The Democrats gained 97 seats in 1932 and in the 1934 midterm elections they gained 9 more even though they already controlled 73% of the House seats.
Rove's only talent is that he was able to know the right family at the right time.
Like Congress, democrats and republicans are both beginning to have a certain stigma that is wrought with old-boy school attitudes and disdain for anyone other than the elites. People are tired of it and no matter what roadblocks both parties shove at us, we will persevere until desecration of the Constitution and Bill of Rights and completely ignoring the Will of the People are no longer a byproduct of their actions.
OK, but the accusations against her are not pretty. Where do we go to find the accusations specifically addressed?
You are going to find that those who spout Democrat talking points against conservative Republicans in general election campaigns don’t last too long hereabouts.
