Ingraham: "Is anyone going to run as a Bush Republican in 2012 and if so who?" Rove: "Every one of them is going to run as a Bush Republican by saying 'I want to continue to fight the war on terror' -- with maybe one or two exceptions -- and, 'I want to continue the Bush tax cuts

Eyes have been opened.
She also just called out Uncle Newtie on his pandering on Amnesty and supporting too much of the dreadful DREAM ACT.
LOL
The Bend-Over Republicans.
But a righteous room.
You can fool some of the people all of the time, but... ;-)
that would be sanctimonious selfrightous room
I just had an epiphany.
Okay, maybe I’m a little slow...but I think I’ve figured out what’s going on now...
They are afraid of Sarah because they think she might be able to win, and...
THEY DON’T WANT TO WIN IN 2012.
They want Jeb Bush in 2016.
Seriously, the establishment wants Jeb Bush, but they realize 2012 is still a little too close to GW’s disaster.
They need a democrat in office until 2016...the economy won’t be turned around yet (especially if democrat policies are in place) and then Jeb can be anointed.
This is all about extending the Bush dynasty.
They know a squish like Romney can’t win. They know Sarah would be as popular as Reagan, winning in a landslide. That’s why they have to push the ‘she’s not electable’ narrative...because if they don’t...if people suddenly realize she’s not this dim bulb caricature but a real and genuine conservative...she will keep Jeb out of the White House until 2024.
Remember, poppa Bush always thought that Reagan kept him from the White House for eight years and said so on different occasions. They have real scorn for populist conservatives.
.....Sarah needs to stay above the snarkiness. The American public will not elect those who will participate in cat fights.....
I beg to differ. Bill Clinton was a participant in cat fights including one with Jesse Jackson and many with the “Bimbos”
I don’t want to belabor the point because I agree with you that it’s not that important - I would just add the blue blood label is not completely unfair given the generations of Bushs that have put their mark on the country’s policies.
Karl, get a clue son - YOU are not necessary!
I NEVER admired Rove. I saw him as a ham handed political hack from the beginning.
I will admit I saw him as a potentially useful ham handed hack at one point but that phase passed rather quickly.
I loved it when Rove was listing off the Republican presidential hopefuls and Laura kept interjecting “and Bush?”, “and Bush?”. Rove deigned not to notice.
Barbara Bush, thinks she’s Agatha Morley.
Listening to that, and Karl’s ignoring the comment, is what led me to my conclusion.
It all makes sense to me now.
They resent Palin like poppa Bush resented Reagan.
They want Jeb in 2016 and would happily sacrifice four years to be able to continue the dynasty.
They know a stiff like Romney has no chance, and a populist like Palin, once people saw who she really is and not the phony caricature, would be as wildly popular as Reagan was. Just look how popular she was as Alaska’s governor...93% approval rating?
They HAVE to stop her or their dreams of Jeb will have to wait until 2024.
I just realized this!
All this nasty stuff from the ‘bluebloods’ is to destroy Sarah because they know she would win and she is a threat to Jeb’s ascension in 2016.
They WANT TO LOSE this time.
They know a stiff like Romney has very little chance, especially in this political climate.
They would happily sacrifice four years to assure Jeb’s success in 2016, and they know that Palin would be as popular as Reagan (just look at her record in Alaska - 93% approval)- that makes Jeb SOL until 2024.
This is all about Jeb in 2016.
If we (as conservatives) vote for anyone other than Palin, it is a defacto vote for Romney, and ultimately, for the democrat - whoever that might be.
Sarah Palin is our only hope.
Tokyo Rove is squealing like a stuck pig. His 15 min are over.
The guy who almost destroyed the republican party during the Bush years should withdraw into a cave somewhere or just declare hi is a closet leftist and be done with it. He behaves just like a democrat... calls somebody names ( McDonnel, Palin) then goes crybaby when they respond. This POS is so pathetic he makes me puke. There should be a Barf Alert on any subject that is quoting him.
