Will it be available on Amazon in Kindle format?
PRICELESS!
yes, all ebook formats and in paperback with a FABULOUS cover. (I didn’t design it, but kudos to my graphics company. They rock)
LOVE THAT graphic!
The Lord blessed me with the urls that were still available. I also have www.firekarlrove.com which is amazing, since I owned that url from 2001 through about 2004 and never did anything with it. Yet is was still available last week so I scooped it up again. I have multiple urls to make marketing more versatile and more trackable. But of all of them, I think tokyorove.com is my fave.
McCain was wrong about that?
More wrong than you are?
Yes, McCain was wrong about that.
And I’m not wrong at all.
But I would love to hear your point.
IMHO, the election was lost when the GOP decided Bambi could not be criticized, way back in late 2008, continuing from the day of his inaugural, all the way through until the end.
Newt could not have changed that narrative with the time and money he would have had if he won the nomination. The Bambi "stash" was too much, his giveaways too powerful, the media bias so overwhelming, without a public long term and consistent critique by the GOP, the narrative change that Newt would have brought would have been torn apart. The democrat/media complex would have overwhelmed him, in a far greater way than Romney did to him in the primary.
It's also true that "the bad Newt" would have been destroyed by the Bambi ads far more easily, putting him on defense constantly, and he would never have been able to raise half the money that Romney did.
Oh, I was a big Newt supporter during the primary, this is all 20/20 hindsight, a rethinking looking at what happened. I'll check back tomorrow if I get the time, I'd like to have a few back and forths about this: My thinking is if we can't figure out how to neutralize the big media and cultural advantage of the dems, we're in a heap of trouble. Taking out the media should be our main goal, and how that can be done is the most important strategy we should have, along with consistent, persistent, methods of repeating and communicating the conservative message(s) to the American public.
You can always tell the difference between someone whose knowledge comes from having done things compared to someone who has only learned about them from reading or hearing others talking about having done them.
What they teach has a certain power and value whereas what the other teaches is stale and lifeless.
Once upon a time, we respected someone who had a lifetime of doing and then retired to spend their time teaching what they had learned. Not just in education, but in all areas of life.
Now we have teachers who learned from other teachers who learned from other teachers. We are surrounded by the stale and hold it up in admiration.
Also, congrats on the book, I hope to read through it in the not too distant future.
What?
Explain please..........
I'm also kinda partial to this one ....
Is www.turdblossom.com still available too?

2012 in one quip!
.
This is why you’ll love the book. It covers the following time tables, because 2012 was 20 years in the making:
intro and WTF happened 5%
1992-2000 10%
2000-2007 10%
McCain Campaign 10%
2009-2011 25%
2011 into 2012 campaign 33%
Mitts Campaign 5%
Ahead? 2%
WTF are you talking about? I don’t follow at all, but I think you’re making the mistake of thinking you know what a 100 thousand word book is about based on 400-500 words..........CONTEXT!!!!!
Well now, if it could be put in a single post, there’d be no reason for the book. But generally these two times:
A: Leading up to Iowa, in response to being attacked by all six other candidates, Newt goes “relentlessy positive” and abandons anti Obama message for some fluffy nonsense. Up to this point, he had scored points by being relentless negative...against Obama. This change was consultant driven drivel. When this didn’t work, he then tried the Bain capital disaster.
B: After rejecting Bain strategy and winning SC by whopping margin by running once again against Obama, he abandons that to run against Mitt in Florida. He should have ignored Mitt and stayed anti Obama....
This is all laid out, and it also is tied to low turn out in Florida and Iowa in the general election. In fact, I predicted what would happen, and why, back in Jan of 2012. November, sadly, made me look like a shaman.

HAH - turdblossom.com was available too, and I can’t remember if I bought that one or not. I bought about 15 or 20 related to Rove.
There's no giving back. We have to take our party back - or light out on our own as an organized Tea Party the way the Republicans originally left the Whigs.
I submit that 2014 is the very last chance the GOP has to lead, follow or get the hell out of the way of Conservatism. If the rovians persist in attempting to sabotage Conservatives in the coming year, the GOP will be finished as a political party.
WTF am I taking about? Just an observation that it might be too late and you're pointing out symptoms why.
The farther a hierarchy gets from reality, which is the conservative case against both the establishment GOP and our government, the more likely people who are operating at and beyond their level of incompetence end up in positions of importance, like Romney mouthpiece Andrea Saul.
Or president obama. Or voters, for that matter.
The context is, we as a nation have been dumbed down so far and spoiled comfortable for so long, we don't recognize competence any longer except in sports or music where you can't fake it.
We have come to believe and rationalize our own lies and we feel good about it. Until reality teaches us something different, that's the context.
I don’t know what you want from me or my book. I’m not claiming this is the perfect book that will solve all the problems. Nor am I claming it is perfect, since the only perfect book has already been written.
I am claiming that it is interesting, at times very funny, at others very sarcastic, and tells a very compelling narrative in a very thorough fashion. If that’s not enough for you, send me yours when you finish it.
