Karl Rove in San Francisco: "Behind enemy lines"
SFGate: Politics Blog ^ | 9/25/9 | Joe Garofoli

Posted on 09/25/2009 11:11:58 PM PDT by SmithL

(Sorry all. Meant to post this last night but had some technical difficulties.)

Karl Rove in San Francisco? Even he seemed a bit...awed? Bewildered? Bemused? Nonetheless, Bush's Brain was the rock star attraction at a dinner Thursday night at The Ritz-Carlton to kick off the debut of the Heritage Foundation's new San Francisco Bay branch.

(For the past couple of years, the premier conservative thinktank has been establishing outposts around the country to stoke the grassroots brush fires all year-round. And anybody who lives in the Bay Area knows that there's a lot of closeted conservatives here. Why do you think KSFO has a decent audience.)

"Fellow counter-revolutionaries!" Rove bellowed to open his remarks after receiving a standing ovation from the 500 folks who packed the ballroom. "Revolutionaries! We meet behind enemy lines. And we will prevail!"

"It must not be easy to be a easy to be a conservative in San Francisco," Bush's Brain said. "You must be people of character."

And Rove must have thought it must not have been safe to be a conservative speaking in San Francisco. He was flanked by security as he spoke, and stout-looking fellas guarded every entrance. Dude was blanketed like a head of state. Note to Code Pink: You're losing your touch. Where were you?

For an hour or so, Rove held court over some sort of bizarro San Francisco.

Has Rove ever actually said he was a conservative?

Wondering where their retirement went in the past 8 months?

Yeah, I’d probably use that if I shook hands with him.

Rove is a loser. Instead of building a pernament majority

he built a rhino minority .... And Bush says he redined the party. Barf! He destroyed the party is what he did.

McCain or Julie-Annie would have been just as bad, except they would have tried to bullshiite us with some convoluted argument what they were doing (or not doing) was based on some sort esoteric conservative ideal.

Rove the genius is still a star in the eyes of the party groupies. What a lost cause....

No, the limp squishy RINOs gave you Obama bin Biden.

It sort of works like the Batman movie... where Batman says "I'm not going to kill you, but I don't have to save you" and the train crashes killing the villian...

Behind enemy lines? Rove should have felt right at home. California is full of illegals, Bush and Rove worked harder and longer for illegals than any other single domestic issue.

Obama will become one of our greatest presidents for what he will do to the conservative movement. His actions have gotten some off their lazy butts to actually take a stand instead of just complainiing.

If only more would get off the couch and out of the house we could really make a difference.

Obama is showing Americans just what socialism means.
