It’s the only bullsh!t story they got left.
Was that a death rattle?
Oh, that was just Karl Rove.
Karl Rove’s record:
1. His candidate in 2000 wins FL and the Presidency by...537 votes.
2. His candidate in 2004 wins OH by 12,000 votes and gets the electoral vote victory.
3. His candidate in 2008 was an old jerk who sabotaged his VP candidate, and couldn’t beat an obvious threat to the nation.
4. His candidate in 2012 wimped out and ensured four more years for Obama; millions of GOP voters did not even show up.Rove’s PAC spent over $420 million on candidates that didn’t win.
5, In 2014, he had no strategy, and the American people gave the GOP 9 Senate seats.
6. His candidate in 2016 is polling at 3% after spending $35 million on ads.
If I didn’t know better, I would swear Karl Rove was working for the Dems.
Maybe I do know better.
Great points, demkicker.
I’ll have those ready for my lib relatives at Christmas dinner.
What a great line! Can I use it?
“Hunting ... itâs not just a way to fill the freezer.”
Cankles and the dumpy, pasty bald guy are such an interesting senior couple. I won’t say couple of what.
They're living in the old empire.
Death of the GOP as we know it?
Rove has been loosing everything since 2006. He would have lost GWB’s reelection in 2004 if it weren’t for 9/11. Had 9/11not happened in Bush’s first term, his ‘new tone, compassionate conservatism’ would lost against Hillary or John Edwards, the likely dem candidates in 2004 had 9/11 never happened.
In 2000, Rove’s strategy almost lost the race to Gore which should have been a comfortable win.
So Karl, you really are a 1-win loser.
“In the fall of 1970, Rove used a false identity to enter the campaign office of Democrat Alan J. Dixon, who was running for Treasurer of Illinois. He stole 1000 sheets of paper with campaign letterhead, printed fake campaign rally fliers promising “free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing”, and distributed them at rock concerts and homeless shelters, with the effect of disrupting Dixon’s rally. (Dixon eventually won the election). Rove’s role would not become publicly known until August 1973 when Rove told the Dallas Morning News. In 1999 he said, “It was a youthful prank at the age of 19 and I regret it.”[13] In his memoir, Rove wrote that when he was later nominated to the Board for International Broadcasting by President George H.W. Bush, Senator Dixon did not kill his nomination. In Rove’s account, “Dixon displayed more grace than I had shown and kindly excused this youthful prank.”

*******************************************
What a funny guy.
Eggzackly.
Coming from the guy who backs Bush, probably the worst candidate ever.
Karl’s leadership gave us Obama.
The man is a has-been and with a Trump administration his career is over.
As others have pointed out, Trump, if he does nothing else, has pulled back the covers to show that the Democrats and Republicans are one and the same.
And his answer is who, JEB!? Yeb! would be lucky to get 30%.
As usual; Karl Rove will do, and say anything to protect his GOPE meal ticket.
It is not TRUMP who is wrong for the Republic; it is ROVE and the REPUBLICRATS who are wrong for the People.
I am a CRUZ kind of guy; but I am absolutely convinced that if CRUZ were the front runner, TOKYO ROVE and the REPUBLICRATS would be doing the same thing to him, undercutting his campaign and smearing him at every opportunity.
It is not in the CRIMINAL ESTABLISHMENTS INTERESTS that either of these two men get anywhere near the White House.
Oh Karl! Such a putz.
Trump will win in a landslide.
Even dems don’t want to be shot at work, or beheaded like Kathleen Huffords was at her job in Nebraska.
I predict a big win for Trump.
The GOP-RNC elites have earned my disgust and I refuse to vote for anyone while “holding my nose” ever again.
Trump/Cruz or Nobody 2016
This is the latest talking point of the establishment.
Anyone remember when Bush called Rove “Turdblossom”?
Rove and Grover Norquist really took Bush for a ride. They were at the root of everything he did wrong, especially amnesty.
I say we hijack that name...turd-blossom Republican for the race baiting Condas, Roves, Norquists, Rubios, Ryans, McCains, Grahams of the world. I think it could catch on. Turd Blossom Republicans. I like it!
And guess what...Ryan, like Rubio, is a Cesar Conda disciple, too! We have been SET UP and SOLD OUT! And be sure where you find Conda, you find Norquist and you find Karl Rove.
I KNOW it seems simplistic, but the same handful of people OWN all these politicians...Ryan, Rubio’s CARTEL OCHO, Romney, all like minded, amnesty lovers GROOMED by powerful LOBBYISTS...CESAR CONDA (Rubio’s chief of staff) & GROVER NORQUIST, who serve the interests of the radical LEFT. And about Ryan/Conda.....
[snip]Creature of Washington
Professionally, Ryan is a creature of Washington insider politics.
He got his first taste of congressional politics as a college intern for U.S. Sen. Bob Kasten of Wisconsin. The work was not glamorous, often sorting and delivering mail.
âHe was as earnest, polite and enthusiastic,â said his friend and mentor, Cesar Conda, who eventually provided a crucial link between Romney and Ryan.
Conda brought Ryan back as an intern the next year.
Conda offered Ryan his first paid, full-time job working for Kasten after his graduation in 1992 from Miami University of Ohio, where Ryan double-majored in economics and political science.
PS...Conda was a policy advisor to Romney, too! We were set up LONG ago.
No fan of Trump but most polls have him beating the liar
Well, apparently Karl, so would you and the GOPE, since you are both getting your asses kicked by Trump right now.
How you gonna beat Hillary when you can’t even beat Trump, you SHMUCK!
