rove is such an anti-Conservative cretin.
Any Republican hurts the Republican cause in California, regardless of WHERE they fall on the political spectrum.
California has become almost radioactive, and is a ticking time bomb, with nobody who knows how to disconnect the wires.
Karl Rove has spurned one of the great ready-to-mobilize assets the Republican party could have at its disposal, the T.E.A. party activists, who still have a smoldering anger at the divergence between what many if not most ordinary folks want, as contrasted with the “New World Order” that seems to be at the top of the Republican Establishment agenda. This anger would have been expressed most forcibly against the liberal Democrats everywhere, if the Establishment Republican’ts had not been running interference for them in the last four elections.
Rove is a strutting, porcine prick.
He is the best Republican General the Democrats have.
If I recall, he's been that way since the very beginning of his career. He was a Texas volunteer for Poppy Bush's campaign for President, and was a rabid fighter against Reagan's volunteers.
