When Rove was taking on the Libs, we hailed him as great
Now that he has a differing opinion than you he’s a RINO, LaRaza supporter?

Yikes

yeppers. I noticed that. Expel everyone who doesn’t have your take on things.

I was never a supporter of Rove...even more so when Jorge Bush began pushing left-wing socialist programs & policies ie amnesty. Rove's open embracing of LA Raza & amnesty was the last straw.

Now he's chosen to be with the anti-Palin, pro-Romney RINO establishment - the reason why the marxist rats are in total control.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

Actually, IIRC, a lot of us were unhappy with Rove and Bush during the Bush presidency over things like prescription drug legislation, the Kennedy education bill and Meyers appointment to the Supreme Court, among others. But, with the Republican win in 2004, getting more House and Senate seats, everyone was giving him a pass.

Having said that, I do like Karl Rove and I think he’s pretty good on strategy as well as understanding the politics going on.

A few questions... did you agree with Rove when he implemented the “new tone” and the orders to “never attack back when attacked” operations plan? How about amnesty... yep that was his? How about the expansion of medicare and the drug benefits for seniors and other welfare dregs? How did you like his stratagem for the 2004 elections? How did you like it when he bailed on Bush due to Fitzy breathing down his neck?

If anyone is to blame for leading this last administration to stray from true conservative values it was none other than K. Rove.

Coming in late today, due to family commitments.

My take on this is that Karl is a bit puzzled by this. It isn't a conventional move. Conventional, however, hasn't worked against the democrats.

I didn't find him particularly hateful towards her, just pointing out that there are disadvantages to doing this. And there are, but I think there are also a lot of advantages.

I sent him a Tweet pointing out that she would be able to galvanize the party if she wasn't tied down in Alaska, and that this might be a new way of campaigning.

Here is what he sent me in a personal Tweet:

Plenty of time for GOP to be galvanized and you may be right, it could be a different approach.

Therefore, I do not see him as her enemy. Rove has spent a lot of years perfecting his method of campaigning, which worked well for President Bush. But times are changing, the electorate is polarized, the media is totally in the Obama camp, and we have a thug presidency. Now it's time for something new.

The media and the pundits are either confused or (in the case of the liberals) in a complete panic. Whoever said "she's gone rogue" is exactly right. No one knows what to expect, and the democrats are in a frenzy over this.

My money is on Sarah. And I am enjoying every minute of this.
