As the Democratic Party convention gets under way, the public focus should rightly be on the bankrupt philosophy, the stench of corruption and the atmosphere of failure that pervades the political organization headed by Barack Obama.
But something is blocking a clear view right now – and it’s not a slip of the tongue by Missouri Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin, who once again leads his Democratic opponent, Claire McCaskill, in the polls.
It's the person who, more than anyone else, tried to demonize and vilify Akin for that slip of the tongue. No, I’m not talking about Rachel Maddow or Arianna Huffington. I’m talking about Republican political consultant Karl Rove, who was so quick out of the box to announce publicly that his super PAC, supported to the tune of more than $100 million by Republican donors seeking to win back the U.S. Senate, would withhold all support to the media-beleaguered Akin.
It’s now Rove who is hurting his party, not Akin...

From a logical standpoint, if Rove is an “empty suit” speaking “meaningless words,” then why are FReepers obsessed with everything he does?
You answered your own question. He says one thing and does another.
Give me an example.
I sent an e-mail asking him to lay off.....you see how much good it did! Maybe if we had a campaign asking him to lay off might do some good.
The article simply states:
"Mitt Romney counseled Akin to leave the race. I think that was a mistake. But it would be an even bigger mistake not to demand that Rove remove himself from this year’s campaign."
“people need to know that Rove has apologized, by phone, to Akin for the latest comment and Akin accepted his apology.”
But has he apologized openly on the Hannity show (radio,TV) since he seems to be Rove’s sycophant?
Rove is a dipstick. The man personally destroyed President Bush's legacy. He's been wrong so often that it's difficult to see why anyone would want this mediocre, beltway marinated Republican relic to help them win anything but local dog catcher position. This is a new age in politics, where the "nice guy" who refuses to fight fire with fire is guaranteed to lose. This is mostly true due to the fact that modern day Americans have been weened on something other than "niceness"; sad to say. There is a way to fight back against scumbags like the Obama and his ilk. You do it with wit, which cuts right to the bone but isn't as nasty or rancorous.
FOR EXAMPLE: I just read that Obama is going to have some former Bain Capital employees speak at the Democrat convention. Of course they'll shred Mitt Romney, even though they likely will not have been employees that rose high enough in the ranks to actually understand business and how it works. Romney's reply should be:
"We refused to do something similar at the Republican Convention because our morals and values would not allow it. But it was impossible anyway, because Mr. Obama never owned or ran a business, which is why our economy is in the state of shambles it's in today. So we decided to just let former Obama supporters express their dismay at the voting booths. That's the American way. Paying or recruiting embittered, judgemental people to assassinate a man's character may be the Obama way of life, but it's not the American way.
The American political process has been the most peaceful, fair and effective process the world has even known. Allowing people to peacefully choose their leaders and express their opinions in the privacy of a voting booth, beeing freed from the divisiveness of personal vendetta and the pathway to political violence has always been the American way. Our Founding Fathers well understood the combustable politics of the Obama way, and did their best to permanently eliminate it from politics in that blessed masterpiece they assembled called the United States Constitution"...........
Mr. Obama thinks of the Constitution as a toy to play with, and something to interpret to his own personal aims. He thinks of America as a piece of clay for him to mold and shape into his own imcompetent, disjointed image. And he will sink to any low to acheive his way. The American people will not, must not allow this man another chance to destroy American by molding it into his own narcissistic, god-like self image.
Hear, hear. Get rid of Rove.
Rove should have retired when President Bush did. Have never thought he was the ‘gift’ he is purported to be. Was hoping Repubs would come to their senses; before this campaign began. They did not; of course. . .
Good grief. Does the word, “tautology” mean anything to you?
Your point is???
My point is that you haven’t given me an example, yet.
My thoughts exactly; (and said it then). . .and still holds. It is beyond believeable; given the 'who/what' we are challening not to mention the most corrupt/treasonous Prez EVER. . . to claim progress as we eek along about 2% ahead of this four year (we hope not more) disaster. Obama should have been tasting the dust; before our Campaign even took off. Unfreakingbelieveable. . .
And no small thanks, to Karl Rove. . .
All right — here’s another one:
I’m sorry, perhaps you don’t remember . . . I am looking for an example of Rove saying one thing and doing another.
I’m sorry but I don’t do your reading for you.
Likewise, I am sorry that you cannot back up your statement.
“Rove isn’t part of the Romney campaign. He has his own PAC and does what he wants.”
He has raised a lot of money, presumably to spend supporting Romney and other GOP candidates.
The donors expect results, and Rove has delivered in the past.
Rove has several personal sources of income.
1. Consultant for hire.
2. Fundraiser.
3. Media personality.
Seems like Sarah Palin’s new career bears similar elements, and she has made pragmatic decisions based on realistic numbers, such as for McCain, Hatch, etc.
That is all Rove is doing, as well. Numbers game.
Its politics. It is what they do.
