Rove: Republicans Are Only Doing What Democrats Have Done
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 10-24-10 | Laura Meckler

Republican strategist Karl Rove said today that in running a slew of TV ads paid for by undisclosed donors, GOP groups are only doing what Democrats have done in the past.

“This has been going on for a long while,” he said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “Suddenly everybody’s gotten spun up about it this year… Once we copied what liberals did, liberals got upset.”

Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.), who heads the committee working to elect House Democrats, replied, “Karl Rove just told you he did not want the voters to know who is spending tens of millions of dollars to essentially buy a Congress.”

Mr. Rove said donors do not expect anything special in return for their contributions.

Karl should make a deal with Barry.

American Crossroads will release ALL of its donor records if Barry releases ALL of his personal records, including his long form birth certificate.

Deal?

....Well past the time for Rove to simply GO AWAY.

The babbling buffoon is the biggest impediment to conservatives getting a grip on the levers of government.

Go away Karl!

I’m not disagreeing with you alas.... RINO are spineless critters. The GOP was never comfortable being in the majority 1994-2006. Even then they let the ‘rats set the agenda 90% of the time.

We need activist motivated leadership that will fight.

We should be careful. The leftist media may be exaggerating our lead to cause many of us not to bother voting. This may be a red herring.

We have to keep working very hard to get out message out. There were no PUMAs in the last election. It was a trick.

Now add in the numbers of those who will cheat and try to steal the election. We must not be complacent.

Wow, Rove was terrific!
I hope Schieffer asks the next rat he has on his program what exactly it is that George Soros expects to get for all the money he has fed into the Democrat machine.
