“This is what happens when you have a purely poliitical hack calling the shots.”
You mean the evil Genius. The person who for 4 years was called “Rove you maginificent bastard” by almost everyone on this site? The man who engineered the 2002 and 2004 election?
That political hack?
The guy who has opposed conservatives, starved them of resources, and empowered party liberals for the last eight years.
“. . . man who engineered the 2002 and 2004 election?”
Are you serious? In 2004 Karl Rove turned what should have been a landslide victory of a war-fighting President over a dilettante moron traitor into a near loss.
Not to be outdone by that failure, he also set the Republicans up for a loss of Congress in 2006 and a probable Democrat blowout in 2008, thanks to his amnesty plan.
The 2004 election was won by the Swift Boat Vets.
And gave us those feckless K Street politicians/ agenda? Sorry, besides the "temporary" tax cuts, what have we to show for all that? Can you spell "blown opportunities" ?
