TokyoRove, the man who gave us the idea that we shouldn't say anything about how crazy the dems are or be critical of Obama because it might offend the moderates........

We can't get rid of him fast enough.

Enthusiastic bump!

Get rid of Rove, or find an alternative to the GOP.

Now.

just remember that his disastrous decisions during the Bush Administration paved the way for President Obama’s election

Bush's fault.

You're damned right it is!

Tokyo seems to be about hanging on to the gravy train he built for himself.

Rove’s attempts to alter/improve American politics probably began its journey on the right path. But, like many Republicans who began their journey in the right direction, he came to a fork in the road and made the wrong turn. That is one of the dangers in American politics and the same thing could eventually happen to the Patriot movement unless a great deal of “honest” leadership is exercised.

What largely caused that political situation was Karl Rove’s wrongheaded advice to George W. Bush.

I think the Bush royal family has always stood for Big Government. W picked a political adviser who was compatible.

...just remember that his disastrous decisions during the Bush Administration paved the way for President Obama’s election, Obamacare’s implementation, and our unsustainable $16 trillion national debt.

I can't stand Karl Rove, but the reason the economy went to crap right before Bush left office was not the fault of political decisions emanating from the White House.

Republicans in congress simply failed to reign in Fannie and Freddie. We saw it coming, they saw it coming, and perhaps the political power wasn't there to stop what eventually happened, but the executive branch shouldn't get all the blame, IMHO.

“You know it was really Karl Rove who gave us Obama.”

And George Bush gave us Karl Rove.

Thanks, George.

“Karl Rove, I just think he’s one of the most overrated people in politics.”

Sometimes the obvious has to be voiced.

Heard that show. Levin's been beating the drum all week. He declared war on Rove and the Establishment. Great stuff.

He was outstanding on Hannity's show this week, too. It would be worth searching YouTube for.

Levin's in a class by himself, as far as political commentators go.

Rove and Dubya spoke so well of the Democrats while Reid, Pelosi, and later Obama were actively discrediting and de-legitimizing the Republican Party in general, and conservative principles in particular. Great strategy. It just keeps paying dividends. Anyone who donates a penny to this self promoting jackass didn’t deserve their money in the first place.

This is a decent article.

This is personal for Trump because he was a $50,000 donor to Crossroads in 2010. That money could have been put to good use if it was given to groups with fresh ideas. So the next time you consider stroking a check to a Rove-controlled group, just remember what Donald Trump already knows: “Karl Rove, I just think he’s one of the most overrated people in politics.”

$50,000 isn't even "petty cash" for Donald Trump. It's more like coins found under the sofa cushions. Still, if Donald Trump hadn't figured out by 2010 that Karl Rove is a self-serving imbecilic hack who needed to be drummed out of the party years ago, then Donald Trump isn't a very smart man.

This article is really good.

But you know, it is all things we have said here on FreeRepublic over and over again about Tokyo Rove.

At least he is finally getting what he deserves.

WAS IT ROVE’S INCOMPETENCE ...OR IS HE A JUDAS GOAT ?

To borrow from Rush Limbaugh for those living Riolinda a Judas goat is used to lead US sheeples to the slaughter pen . The Republicans were give a chance to use a wedge issue to split up the democratic party and blew it.

Besides being unable to equate Obama’s socialist schemes particularly his energy policy running up the costs on everything and still is thus forcing those with limited incomes to go on the dole. BTW the angle here is to blame the system not the folks using it. Because they have to. But it’s a signature of Rove’s past performances when with Bush. The demo-coms used it because it fell into “heartless Republicans”.
Blaming Obama and explaining that policy in terms those proverbial LIV’s could understand wasn’t even considered. Refusing to attack Obama was based on MSM polling showing his popularity suggesting an intellectual inability by Rove and the GOPES to rejoin any racial charge.

....Does anybody remember what the Democrats did at their convention ??? First they eliminated any mention of the word GOD...and when they thought twice about doing that they reintroduced the resolution what happened ? They booed God....That resolution was rammed through just like the Affordable Health Care Act ...

Was that fact used in any of the material Rove’s RINOS spewed forth during the 2012 Romney or US senate races his group of GOPES (Government Ofthe People Elite Snobs) used on their hit list ? I like using that acronym because it rhymes with dopes.

Noooo ! They could have used that episode to point out how far to the left the democrat party has hyphenated into; Demo-Coms ...Instead well we don’t like Aikin ...He said what ? OMG OMG he’s unqualified ...If there was a chance he would have been burned at the stake by Rove’s RINOS and the so called “conservative “ talkies spouting Rove’s tripe.

Why ? What drove this ? They were responding to the miss-direction driven by Obama’s instuments of oppression Mainline Socialist Media (MSM).The Aikin or O’Donnells response to a set up phoney issue had nothing to do with any thing that would ever occur in any legislation that would pass their respective desks had they been elected.

THE RESPONSE YOU DIDN’T HEAR WAS THIS “”While at their convention the Democrats were busy denying God . Aikin believes in something like the ten commandments. Including Thou shalt not steal and doesn’t believe that getting elected to office gives you a license to do steal ... Which his opponent seems to have done rather well since being in office. The same thing with Mourdock,O’Donnnell, etc,etc, etc.

That presentation could have been expanded to Reid, Pelosi, and the slew of Demo-Com pigs at the trough. Expanding their personal wealth at the expense of the US taxpayers.

Now his bunch seems to be saying if you hold a religious view don’t run for office... We’re gonna save the Republican party ....to be finished off by Obama and the hypenated democrats..
Roves RINOS wrong for America and wrong for the Republican party...

Trump couldn’t be more right about Rove.

I may open my mind about The Donald’s politics and political sincerity.

“This is personal for Trump because he was a $50,000 donor to Crossroads in 2010. That money could have been put to good use if it was given to groups with fresh ideas.”

$50K??? That is all the claimed billionaire Trump gave to Crossroads and he is complaining? If Trump had given more, maybe he could have influenced a more aggressive ad campaign.

IMO, it was Rove who influenced Romney to tell Trump to sit down and shut up about Barry’s bogus BC and Mark Levin was the loudest and most obnoxious anti-birther left and right on the radio supporting Rove’s approach calling constitutionalists (that would be me and Trump) “idiots.”

Now I find it fascinating that Trump, who has to this point NEVER let a personal insult like Levin’s go unanswered, has now joined with Levin (whom I mostly admire otherwise) to gang up on Rove.

Both Rove and McCain enforced a policy that Barry must always be affirmed to be a nice, honest person who is simply misguided in his policy choices...thus avoiding MSM smears of racism and avoiding offending the sensibilities of low-info moderates needed to win who hold Barry and his family in ignorant affection (well at least the Obama girls can’t help who their parents are but they are props). This didn’t work for two elections in a row.

It is obvious that by pre-agreement before coming on Levin’s show Trump and Levin agreed that Barry’s forged BC would NOT be discussed, even thought it remains the elephant in the room.
