Remember when Rove was a magnificent bastard?
I wonder who changed ... him or us?
Now he’s just a bastard.
Yeah, I heard that right here! Along with "Rove is a genius" and on and on.
Now he's just...
Rove and GOP won elections by telling conservative leader what they wanted to hear but never follow through with conservative action. The electorate has wised up.
“I wonder who changed ... him or us?”
The world has changed, and he hasn’t. That’s the problem.
He was always a bastard, and I don’t remember a time when I didn’t think so.
Boy how that used to tweak the Bush-bots...
Maybe the scales finally fell from our eyes. If the last 15 years have been ‘’conservatives’’, count me out. Actually, longer than 15 years. And at least, Dubya was likable and basically, a decent guy. The others- not so much.
Twelve years ago, many of us still believed that the Republican party was the party of conservative ideals.
We woke up. We’ve watched the GOP stroke our hair with one hand and shake hands with the Dems with the other too many times.
Rove gave us McCain. Rove gave us Romney.
And we grumbled and held our noses and went with the party line because the Dems were just *so* much worse.
Now we understand that backing a party that bends to the Dems every time is as bad as backing the Dems themselves.
We’re sick of it and we’re rioting.
They have not changed. We wised up.
“Remember when Rove was a magnificent bastard?”
I don’t know why you would say that. I haven’t changed and I always left off the “magnificent” part.
When the GOP base discovered his M.O. was pimping for old, senile RINO left-wingers and deliberately sabotaging young Conservatives and reformers, they realized his magnificence never existed.
No. I remember when that stupid SOB barely eeked out a couple of wins by moderating the message until most people didn't give a sh*t who won.
I remember the jackass then crowing about his great accomplishment because he managed to barely edge over the line by luck.
Rove should have been punched repeatedly in the face years ago, and he should have never been granted the credibility he has manufacture for himself.
He's not a political guru genius, he's a f***ing arrogant fool who is as clever as the rooster taking credit for the Sunrise.
Rove is crap. Rove has always been crap. Rove is the biggest problem the Bush administration ever had.
Rove was never “magnificent.” He’s always been a mendacious bastard.
“Remember when Rove was a magnificent bastard?
I wonder who changed ... him or us?”
No change. Your eyes simply were opened to what Rove has always been.
He overcame Clinton to Gore, but he is old school establishment Demublican with all the big donor corporate interest.
