2012′s high-stakes spin war: George Soros won, Karl Rove lost

Special to WorldTribune.com

By Cliff Kincaid

Fox News contributor Karl Rove was criticized in the media for objecting to the channel calling Ohio for Barack Obama on election night. The state of Ohio did in fact go for Obama and the channel was correct in making that prediction. Like many other Fox News commentators, Rove had mistakenly forecast a Romney victory. He was only alone in thinking this was still possible as election night wore on and the results from Ohio came in.

A more important controversy, however, is what Rove, former Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush, did with the $300 million that he raised from conservative donors for the purpose of defeating Barack Obama and electing a Republican Senate..

On Fox News, Rove blamed Mitt Romney’s campaign for not responding aggressively to attacks on the Republican presidential nominee. But his close friend and associate, Ed Gillespie, was a top Romney adviser.

Time to wake up and realize that the Republic died a long time ago.

About 1860. That's when the Karl Roves and Warren Buffetts took over.

Rove was not wrong. His analysis in an honest election was correct. Tragically he did not realize that criminals who control the democrat party defrauded the electorate with bogus results. The election was stolen. That explains his shock and disbelief.

Well it’s easy to perfect when it’s so loose and porous to begin with.

For instance, not only should you not be able to same-day register, you should have an in-state ID with you if you are from out of state, and you should provide proof of both new AND old address, preferably with your old voter ID card. That should then be sent to the Secretary of State’s office for them to get your name off the other states voter list, and NOT let you vote till that is done.

There are a zillion things you can do to tighten up the holes in the process.

To put more intelligence back in and less grifters voting, I suggest anyone taking a handout from the government waiving right to vote during the time they are taking.

SS is NOT a handout, we paid too much for that measly payback already. Medicare, let me buy my own insurance, but what lots do not know, if you don't sign up for Medicare Part A you can not get your SS.

ADC, Food Stamps, SSI, Medicaid, bamaClaus phone and a million other ways hidden from us are a handout.
