Former Bush administration adviser Karl Rove on Sunday cautioned Republicans against a 2016 presidential election strategy that focuses too much on the political history of potential Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
Rove told “Fox News Sunday” he was uncertain whether revisiting Clinton and husband Bill Clinton’s years in the White House would help Republicans win the presidency.
“It may,” said Rove, now a “Fox News” contributor. “But the trouble for Republicans is it’s easier to say what you’re against than what you are for.”
Republicans have tried to knock down a Clinton candidacy essentially since she resigned from her post in February 2013 as secretary of state.
And the campaign appears to have increased in recent weeks with the publication of historical, academic documents portraying her as “ruthless” and Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul questioning whether former President Clinton should be allowed to return to the White House, considering his behavior with intern Monica Lewinsky.

In fact, the history of veto overrides shows that Congress had used this power as relatively recently as Bushes 41 & 43, and also with Clinton.

Not only should we attack her, and Bill Clinton’s past (in an intelligent manner),
WE SHOULD MAKE HER EAT HER COMPLICIT SUPPORT OF OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS’/HIS EVIL POLICIES, AND ABUSES OF POWER, COVERUPS, AND SCANDALS!
EAT IT.
The party needs to begin revisiting all of the Clinton problems now. 2016 will be too late. The Clinton’s spent the past four years completely rewriting their legacy away from scandal ridden and as a time of great liberal success. It was in no way that. The 2012 election was basically a false campaign narrated by Bill Clinton. Comparing Obama and his terms when there is little in comparison to draw. Clinton veered right after two years to survive.... Signing off on republican idea one after another. Obama went hard left. Our inept party let them get away with it. September 2012 was most frustrating because our side did not respond to the narrative of the dem convention. If you look at exit polling it completely regurgitated what Clinton said at the convention.
Here is a joke that came to us via FReeper, Beave Meister:
Bill use to jog around the DC in the morning whenever he could. He use to run with Secret Service agents. One day while he was jogging he see’s this middle aged hooker standing on the corner. She yells to the President and points to herself, “Hey Bill, fifty bucks.” Bill laughs then winks at the Secret Service agents and yells back, “five bucks.” The next day, Bill jogs the same route with the Secret Service agents. He see’s the same hooker standing on the corner. She yells to the President again, “Hey Bill, fifty bucks.” Bill yells back, “five bucks” and he and the agents all have a good laugh.
This goes on for a couple of weeks, the hooker, “Hey Bill, fifty bucks” and Bill, “Five bucks.” Then one morning Bill’s wife Hillary says she wants to go jogging with him. Bill say “Sure” and out they go. As they approach the corner where the hooker stands, Bill whispers to one of the agents, “I hope that hooker doesn’t say anything.” Sure enough the hooker is standing on the corner and she just stares at Bill, Hillary and the agents as they all go jogging by.
Then the hooker yells out, “See what you get for five bucks.”
We need more jokes!
Hillary should be strongly attacked on:
Hillarycare. It was far more invasive, egregious and destructive than Obabmacare.
Benghazi. Her quote that she couldn’t believe they would attack us after we liberated them shows her ignorance of human nature and international politics. Her refusal to offer increased security and to respond to calls for help is criminal.
Benghazi cover up.
Rose Law Firm Records. Magically appeared in the parlor at the White House.
Cattle Futures.
The strategy of not attacking your opponents where they are weak....Typical Karl Rove....
Also attack her for declining to assist Pastor Saheed in Iran.
The same FOOL’S tactics... and it will BRING the SAME results.. NOTHING.
Maybe not attack, but you sure need to remind voters of what she’s like. They should pound the stuffing out of her over Benghazi.
It isn’t difficult for GOPe candidates to say what they are for. They have to observe Democrats, and pretend to be for the same things, with fewer taxes and a little more moderation. Stay away from hard choices, and compromise everything to appeal to everyone, especially people who are only going to vote for Democrats, like 70 percent of the Hispanic illegals they are trying to help become Democrats.
Hillary who...?
Is strange that telling the truth about someone is an attack.
Fixed it.

“I’m not a loser, because I surrendered BEFORE the fight.” ~ Karl Rove Palpatine
How to spot a RINO...
He is the one that says we shouldn’t press hard against Dem opponents.
Don’t talk about the deaths, felonies, bribery, shady deals, shady associates, payoffs, questionable birth history... the list goes on.
Enough with advisors and politicians that don’t hit back as hard as the socialists hit.
Not hitting hard is a losing strategy!
Curiously enough, the Left, the Right and the Middle would all like Karl Rove to just go away and shut up.
There are millions of younger voters who may not remember the troubled Clinton years and millions of others who need to be reminded of the Clinton era of scandal, lax national security, and bad economy.
Karl Rove - the Forrest Gump of the Republican Party.
Tokyo Rove is a putz.
