I have been a loyal, even fanatical, GOP foot solider for 30 years. That ended watching Karl Rove, and the rest of the GOP Media machine, trash talking our own candidate for the last week.

Why is Rove out slanderously attacking the party nominated candidate for Senate in Delaware. Why, if the Delaware race is so vital to the party, is Rove doing everything he can to insure we lose the race?

Rather then defending Rove out of a misplaced loyalty to the GOP think about it.

The 9-12 Project published the fact Mr Rove contacted them for the Castle campaign asking them to switch their support to Castle.

Rove was an active agent, even if unpaid, of the Castle camp.

Rove has never acknowledge that connection. He has repeatedly billed himself in his slanderous attacks on O'Donnell as "just a political analyst" giving his "objective opinion".

That is lying by omission.

That Rove has not made full disclose of his connections to the Castle campaign indicates a clear conflict of interest and a deliberate attempt to mislead Fox News and it's viewers. In the private sector such a failure to disclose would result in termination of employment if not an arrest for fraud.

Why does Rove get a free pass from living up to the same standards he is on TV every day demanding O'Donnell live up to?

When you know of his connection to the Castle camp, his comments are a whole lot less credible.

I have not had access to TV for the past week and have not seen any of the Rove statements and I agree it looks like he overstepped his bounds and it would be best if he had never said what he said BUT that does not make him an enemy and everyone makes mistakes once in a while. Rove is still very much an ally and we all make mistakes.

I have to admit that when I read the Palin threads and see the emotional hysteria of the Palin worshipers here on FR, it makes me less inclined to support her as her supporters seem childish.

I can't let that influence me as she cannot be responsible for who are her supporters.

Look, this is not heaven and we do not have access to any perfect people. We must do the best we can.

While I do not agree with Rove on this point, he is still a very good Republican.
