Karl Rove Responds To Sarah Palin’s CPAC Thrasing [sic], Rips Her For Quitting As Governor
Mediate ^ | Sunday March 17, 2013

Posted on 03/17/2013 8:27:01 AM PDT by Bigtigermike

Republican strategist Karl Rove responded to the harsh comments former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin had for him at CPAC on Fox News Sunday this morning. Before taking a shot at Palin for not completing her term as governor, he said that Palin was actually in agreement with him on former Senate candidate Todd Akin and that he actually works pro bono for American Crossroads.

Rove continued that Palin endorsed in primaries and got involved in other races around so he didn’t understand what the problem was with other people doing the same thing. He defended his work for American Crossroads saying he doesn’t “take a dime from my work” with them and actually pays all of his travel expenses for the group out of his own pocket. “I’m thought Sarah Palin was about encouraging grassroots activity. I’m a volunteeer,” said Rove.

Then he took a shot across her bow.

“I appreciate her encouragement that I ought to go home to Texas and run for office. I would be enthused if I ran for office to have her support but I don’t think, I’m a particularly good candidate, a balding fat guy. Second of all, if I did run for office and win I would serve out my term and I wouldn’t leave office midterm,” said Rove.

NOTE TO ROVE....

Let your personal life and family get trashed and then drive you close to bankruptcy and lets see how you handle it...
I give Palin a ‘high 5’ for looking out for her family and her own self..she has class and character and she did what she felt best for all involved...

wow there was a day when I had respect for Rove, but then again there was a day I fully supported all the Bush’s and had respect...those days are HISTORY...and I am now a conservative Independent...

Interesting. She rips him over policy and he rips her over personal shortcomings. Your honor, I rest my case.

Karl Rove, President Bush's longtime political adviser, is resigning as White House deputy chief of staff effective Aug. 31, and returning to Texas, marking a turning point for the Bush presidency.

Ha ha!

Screw you Karl.

How do we clean the cockroaches out of the GOP? Is it even possible? Or is T.E.A. Party the only real way,

Well I for one have cut (way) back on Fox News.

Me too. No cable/satellite at all anymore. Why on earth do I want to pay month after month to watch manipulated TV news reports by pea-brain jabberers I neither respect or trust, while honest news reporting continues to be marginalized to the point of being of no informative effect and nearly invisible.

I'll learn of news events some other way or I won't.

Or for Republican Party members to clean their house.

Here Rove is showing us his own corruption.

I mean look at what rove is saying here, He is actuality criticizing someone for placing the good of their state before their hold on power!

Such is undeniable evidence of a couture of corruption that dominates Karl Rove’s thinking.

That too..but I dont see the old GOP guard getting rid of Rove..they want Jeb Bush to be the nominee in 2016..Palin wasn’t the only one attacking the GOP elite class yet Rove chose HER to attack..and to attack her with DNC talking points WOW he couldn’t even come up with his own material

Fortuantly a corrupt soul such as him is not the spokesman of the GOP.
