Karl Rove Responds

[1voice]

The DNC is getting crushed and they cant figure out why???
It has to be that criminal Karl Rove… LOL!

DNC AD: Karl Rove, Ed Gillespie. They’re Bush cronies. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce. They’re shills for big business. And they’re stealing our democracy.

" They have not one shred of evidence to back up that baseless lie. This is a desperate and I think disturbing trend by the president of the United States to tar his political adversaries with some kind of enemies list, with being unrestrained by any facts or evidence whatsoever."
… Carl Rove

Hugh Hewitt talked with Karl Rove about the fact that, although he left the White House staff 4 years ago … he is portrayed by the DNC as the cause of the impending demise of the democrat machine.

HH: So what is going on inside of the Obama political machine, that this is the level that they’ve had to get down to?

KR: Well look, I think it’s deliberate on their part, and I think it’s as a result of two things. And I’m thinking about writing about this, this week in my Wall Street Journal column, so bear with me here. I’m sort of spinning the idea and working it up here. One is I think they want to have an alternative narrative as to why they’re getting beaten so bad. They’re going to get beaten this badly this November because they’ve got bad policies, whether it’s spending, the stimulus, deficit, health care. You name it, their policies have, the American people have had it with them. So what they want is a counter-narrative. And the counter-narrative is the election was stolen by foreign campaign contributions funneled through the Chamber of Commerce, or gotten out by those evil-doers, Rove and Gillespie. But the other thing is this. I think look, last week was a bad week for them. It was the last jobs report before the election. Unemployment remained high. We actually lost jobs in September. And we’re sort of inching into a situation that’s sort of like Europe, where we have permanent high unemployment, structural unemployment, even higher underemployment. And these guys want to distract attention from it, because they know that the more we talk about the economy and what they’ve done to the economy, and what they’ve failed to achieve for the economy, the worse off they are at the polls. So I think they’ve adopted this, because it’s better than talking about what the real issue is.

I happen to think he is on the mark about this. At least for me, it is not only the disaster of the economy, but “it’s the policies, stupid”. This administration has been a huge disappointment to me. I did not vote for Obama, but hoping that he was genuine about being a pragmatist, I had high hopes that he really wanted to lead this country in the right direction. Maybe it’s the arrogance of the elite in Washigton that blinds them to the fact that you cannot FOREVER spend your way out of a recession. They don’t trust history as a guide because they know better. It hasn’t worked in the past but hey, that was THEM this is US. They now have nowhere to go with this debate. Nothing to go on. So of course they use the “attack” method. They passed a disastrous health care bill, spent our grandchildren into poverty, and want to spend more, have been blatant with their lies and deceptions, and have turned on their own country with lawsuits over boarder security, and now they want people to vote for the party? Really? I’m afraid to find out what exactly they’ve been smoking on Capital Hill.

But all said, the President is a charismatic communicator of the ultimate. People are still believing like Mohammed Ali used to say about himself… “he is the greatest”.

Obama is asking us to be patient…it took us a long time to get here, it will take a long time to get out of this…hmmm…funny, Bush said the same thing about the war in Iraq…and he screwed up bigtime. I guess this is what leaders say when their policies have gone south.

I agree. People are finally able to see liberalism and how it thinks and acts with clarity and it clearly makes things much worse … no matter where they start from. Obama & Co played a bad hand badly. After less than 2 years they proved that acquiring and spending more and more money is their solution for everything. Creating confidence through specific goals that are meaningful to the average American and a track record of reaching them… has not happened. With little to show in the way of positive ‘change’ they simply move the goal posts or point a bony finger and try to cast blame and doubt on the people that they are supposed to be serving.

… Throw the bums out.

My biggest surprise disappointment with Obama is how badly he has failed to live up to the “defender of the regular guy” schtick he sold so hard during the campaign. Instead we have MASSIVE consolidation of little banks bought up by just a few megabanks. The same Wall Street old money crooks that created the financial crisis are now profiting on picking the carcass of the real estate bubble while WE the taxpayers eat their losses and Obama doesn’t even seem to notice!

So much for the republicans being the party of the robber barons. Obama isn’t one whit better. FDR must be rolling in his grave.

What I cant figure out is why people bought his shtick in the first place. The guy clearly said that he had a chip on his shoulder against America in his book and what resume he had proved clearly that he leaned hard left. Reminds me of a rock / entertainer with a couple of good sounding songs on the radio … and then you feel totally ripped off when you buy the CD.
His history was full of seriously flawed mentors with a destructive agenda of their own. And when challenged about it he mocked and ignored the questions and threw his friends under the bus.
He struck me as a used car salesman the first time I heard the guy. Smooth talker with a very bad product to sell… and how could anyone not see it coming???
