I do remember back the postings here (not by you) about what a great tactician Rove was. “Rove you magnificent bastard” etc. One user had his handle as Perfect Rovian Storm and so forth.

Rove’s time has come and gone. This is not 2000/2004 where the squishy middle is where the election was won. These days the base is what is going to win elections this time out and Rove is still working the non-existant middle.

Rove is not a genius. Rove is not smart. Bush won in spite of him, not because of him.

Rove's advice has always been bad.

Don’t let this thread fool you

97% of this forum toe sucked George Bush and Rove and Cheney including me even after 9-11

The only anti Bush stalwarts were a few Paleos and objectivists

And only Cheney merited the adulation bestowed btw imho

And only Cheney speaks out now in the right way

You could be zotted here for being too outspoken on Bush or his policies especially amnesty

Howlin ...sinspur...Dane....bayourod....prnd321....and many others...some still here pretending to be bona fide would run in packs and find a dissenter and hound them from the forum and then cackle in delight at their deering do in expelling yet another racist or bigot

That’s right ...opposing amnesty was the province of bigots and racists even though the stats were already in his immigrants legal or not voted and other not good data

I know this cause I was in their crosshairs

What I post today is not one whit different in persoective than 15 years ago except I’m more tired of the Bushes and GOPe than I ever figured I’d ever be

You learn a lot here in a decade and a half about human nature especially if cursed with near photographic recall like I am

Newer Freepers have no idea

I miss one thing the most....even if it meant the harpies returned....we need our old traffic....this place used to roar with threads rolling in the 100s even over silly crap

You could refresh your replies and have a hard time scrolling back to where you were

It was a combination of things I guess
