Team Palin says Rove may be a bit off
Politico ^ | 8-22-11 | Maggie Haberman

Posted on 08/22/2011 9:16:28 PM PDT by STARWISE

Add Karl Rove to the list of people Sarah Palin's camp is denouncing.

POLITICO's Juana Summers flags this statement from the Sarah PAC website, which - without naming him - takes an unmistakable swipe at the former White House adviser to George W. Bush:

Three years ago DC pundits predicted with glee the demise of Sarah Palin's political career. This past weekend their tune changed, citing false information that she has made a decision and set a date regarding a future campaign.

Any professional pundit claiming to have "inside information" regarding Governor Palin's personal decision is not only wrong but their comments are specifically intended to mislead the American public. These are the same tired establishment political games that fuel the 24 hour news cycle and that all American's will hopefully reject in 2012, and this is more of the "politics-as-usual" that Sarah Palin has fought against throughout her career.

PS - Kudos to CNN for setting the record straight, and including Governor Palin's own words.

Rove had said on Fox News last weekend that he believed Palin was running, based in part on her schedule in Iowa (as best as I can tell she only has the one, large-scale event in Des Moines scheduled, for Sept. 3).

Peter Hamby of CNN noted earlier that there is not exactly a river of trust between Palin and Rove, but the public pushback was a bit of a surprise.

I didn't realize that the date for the election had been moved up!

The track record of the Republicrat campaign operatives is not very convincing (i.e, Bob Dole, John McCain, etc).

What ever happened to the FREEDOM for a candidate to decide a campaign strategy? Why must everyone follow the predictable template of the 24/7 pimps of the Election Industry?

I saw the interview. The ratmedia is distorting what Rove said.

He did not say with any certainty that Sarah will run. He said he would put more money on it than against it. IOW, sort of a 60-40% proposition.

It was not an unreasonable comment IMO.

Got a completely different take on the reason for the pushback, than the article:

This is Palin, publicly distancing herself from Rove.

Doesn’t want him self-aggrandizing on her campaign. Imho.

Another new step in the Palin Hokey-Pokey dance (she puts her right foot in - she puts her right foot out...).

Rove is also worried that the Palin admin. would make the Bush admin. look almost as liberal as the Obama admin. by comparison.

"“Rove has been a bit “off” since the 2010 election. Not sure that he can or will regain our respect.”
Rove is pushing a Mutt Romney ticket and everything he says or does is to further that goal."

Rove did some great things in the past but he's been off the reservation for so long now he no longer has credibility with conservatives. His boy Mitt will NEVER overcome RomneyCare. It is, was and shall always be his Waterloo.

Sarah is and can still be a powerful voice for conservatism without running.

I don't know about Perry...don't quite trust him...yet.

So, who's left? Everyone seems to have their own little skeletons but they can all beat Zero.

If Election Day took place right now, President Obama would defeat the former Alaska governor 50 percent to 33 percent.

Lies and deception.
Ron Paul could beat Baroke Obama.

>>> Ron Paul could beat Baroke Obama.

No, but it appears he would come a lot closer. And if that doesn’t put the Palin candidacy in perspective I don’t know what will.

I take it a complement if you deem me in need of “professional help”. Debate of the ideas—never—can’t do it. Pederasty is being legalized right now by the UN and Germany and the APA is debating the issue—to remove it from “mental Illness” exactly how they were forced in the 70’s to remove homosexuality from their mental illness list. Why? Elites want it normalized. It is why Sex Ed which destroys morality and glorifies unnatural acts is being forced in Kindergarten by the homosexual school czars and Bambi.

Any ideas that believe in Christianity or Orthodox Judaism (the natural family) are NEVER allowed in schools now—no references to man and wife—it is always “partner” hmmmmm for little kids, no less, and Christians are consistently demeaned 24/7, although those ideas—The Christian Paradigm—is what created the most free, most just, most egalitarian nation, most innovations in the history of the world.

Why destroy what works best to Marxist, socialism, paganism paradigm which destroys human beings, freedom and cultures, creativity and morality?

Hate Speech laws are fascist to destroy freedom of thought and speech and are routinely used for brainwashing in universities, corporations and the government and soon the military—although somewhat already used— to destroy Christian morality.

BTW, all MSM and polls are propaganda and lies....you should have known that since McCarthy (Blacklisted by History)—actually earlier—the Satanists/Marxists/Communists/imported Nazis by Prescott Bush (Bohemian Grove creators) have had control of our MSM and are shaping the allowed pagan “worldview”. They are shaping the minds of our children. Truth is never wanted.

Read Judith Reisman’s book on Kinsey. The MSM contantly glorifies pederasts such as Kinsey (Liam movie) and the pederast, degenerate Milk. Sodomite Jerry Brown is forcing homosexuality into all curricula in CA—to normalize abnormal behavior and intentionally destroy Christian morality in children. Doctors/psychologists have constantly written for hundred years (Freud also) about the damage of sex education during childhood which will lead to abnormality and the inability for mature sexual functioning between men and women. (Melvin Anchell, MD) Why are they forcing this cr*p in schools? It is all brainwashing and conditioning right out of BF Skinner (BK Eakman).

Why did we remove the words husband and wife from text books—and replace it with partners when those terms were used for thousands of years and is imbedded in literature and history.

Marxism (Wittgensteinian) methods to destroy knowledge, destroy history—to be able to totally transform the worldview of of children from the Christian/ Capitalism worldview to that of pagan/earth worshipper/socialists.

It can be documented and is by hundreds of Ph.D’s, but I imagine you deem them in need of professional help. But not Soros? Not Hitler? Not Bambi? Not those idol worshippers who are deficient of the idea of Right and Wrong which was firmly embedded into our Constitution with terms like the laws of nature and nature’s God. Our country has standards that are being replaced intentionally by Stalin’s and Marx’s standards and you don’t see it.

I do—but that makes me need professional help, NOT those grown men like Kissinger who actually do sacrificial enactments of black boys on altars in the Bohemian Grove and cavort—get drunk and are indulging in homosexual acts? Ya, right!!!!! Do a little research....there is a ton of white noise out there, but you can get to the truth and see the pattern IF you study history which is not allowed in public schools. They don’t want you to put 2 + 2 together—they want you to say: 2 + 2 = 5.....like Heather has two mommies to kindergarteners (logic?????) and two men are the exact same as one man and one woman...... they are interchangeable. No difference. What biology class did you take? Kinsey’s???

You tell ME who is sick.

Allot of things happen in 21 years. Based on the way Rove spins his rehetoric on the news media, I speculate that Rove does not like Perry. It’s still early, we will see all the tails come out soon.

What about these “normal” teachers....who push this “normal” stuff to corrupt and condition children so they will romp and submit to the Bohemian behavior...

Or do YOU think these teachers need NO professional “help”. BTW, this cr*p was going on with middle school in California (the heart of the Bohemian Grove) in the 90’s. Homosexuals want to corrupt children...it is why they want “homosexual marriage” so they can seduce the boys. (Pink Swastika).
