Ping!
Rove token opposition, has always been on the side of the destruction of the US. Only now with the divide so wide, his actions have become more obvious.
Interesting insights:
“[Rove] has never directed a campaign with a compelling big picture, all encompassing message. In the direct mail world, you find one hot button and run a sale on that item in that zip code. In politics, it means you think of every voter as a single issue voter, and you try and niche your way to 271 electoral votes or 51 Senate seats with a little abortion over here and some social security over there — and maybe some trade protectionism some other place. When you run a television campaign the way you run a direct mail message, you actually damage your party’s ability to put together a coherent message.
“Another tell is Rove’s reliance on focus group data, which was certainly true in his failed 2012 efforts. Focus groups by their very definition — they last a couple hours — cannot possibly judge the effectiveness of a campaign message over a period of weeks or months. And yet, this is precisely what Rove and Frank Luntz and Haley Barbour rely on them to do.”
Found the ads in question:

The one from Arkansas is close to matching the description in the article, but not the one from NC - SS issue is one of a ...and don’t see how the ads could be described as “almost identical”.
It looks like this article is written about the liberal publications’ commentary on the ads vs. having actually seen the ads themselves...but then the next line says that they should be talking about Obamacare, which not only appears in both ads, but is also mentioned in the articles - one of them calling them the GOP’s “dishonest attacks” on Obamacare.
In that case, what’s teh point of electing Republicans?
Are the ads accurate descriptions of what the Demon Rats want to do?
If so, then let the ads run without griping.
Karl please campaign in North Korea... you are a micron...
To quote this article: “When you consider that incrementally and gradually raising the benefit age is a common sense conservative idea”
I DISSAGREE, No it is not a common sense conservative idea- what would be a common sense conservative idea is to continue to offer SS (unchanged), but to ALLOW those who are currently working to opt out of their future payroll taxes instead to be directed to personal (private) retirement accounts directed by the individual, not the Federal Government.
Gradually you’d get the government out of SS by attrition (because over time who’d want to stay in a stagnant system that doesn’t give ANY return on investment..)?
I saw a Rove ad and it didn’t impress. Thought a lib put it together.
