Calm down. The GOP's demise isn't as imminent as some would have it.
Comment: Oh Karl. Listening to you is like listening to the last painful wheezes of the last dinosaur on the planet. You, your President, your party, your time - all done. Done, and soon gone. Can't happen too soon. Buh-bye.
Comment: BUSH DOES NOT WANT LATINO"S TO GET EDUCATED HE WANTS THEM TO STAY POOR. SO THEY CAN FIX ROMNEY"S HOUSE AND WORK ON RANCHES.
MANY like some, senior NEWSWEEK , columinst dismissed KENNEDY EDORSEMENT OF OBAMA and Pointed to OBAMA"S LOSS IN MASS. THIS IS VERY NEAR SHIGHTED COMMENTARY. WHY? MASS was won by ROMNEY. THAT SAYS IT ALL.
BOY WERE THEY WRONG. MORE THAN A MILLION AND HALF voters SUpported OBAMA in CALIFORNIA.
KENNEDY EDORSEMENT HAS PROPELLED OBAMA into the ELITE. JUST LIKE BILL CLINTON.
HERE IS THE PROOF. THE CATHOLICS VOTE FOR OBAMA THREE TO ONE OVER HILLARY.
THAT WAS NOT GULLIANI THAT WAS KENNEDY BABY.
I THINK MANY COLUMNIST NO LONGER HAVE AN INFOMATION ADVANTAGE OVER THE INTELLIGENT PUBLIC. THE ADVANTAGE WE YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE IS ACCESS TO REAL TIME INFORMATION. FRIENDS THAT I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH WORK FOR EVERY CAMPAIGN. WE KNOW MORE THAN THE SAME OLD COLUMNIST.
A NEWSWEEK COLUMNIST IS NO LONGER WHAT IT USED TO BE. THEY HAVE LESS KNOWLEDGE and INFLUENCE WITH THOSE UNDER THIRTY FIVE.
WE NO LONGER HEAR THE WORD INEXpERIENCE thanks to CAROLINE AND HER UNCLE TED.
ONCE AGAIN ITS Up to THE LATINO"S and THE LESS EDUCATED TO SAVE HILLARY.
THE party OF JEFFERSON and KENNEDY seems to fit OBAMA
WHILE THE party of CHAVEZ and the uneducated lower middle class fits HILLARY.
THOSE THAT ARE DESpERATE WANT HILLARY
THOSE THAT WANT CHANGE WANT OBAMA.
WILL TEXAS AND OHIO SHOW THE WORLD THAT CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK NO LONGER DECIDE WHO GET ELECTED. I LOVE IT> THE OBAMA WAVE WILL SWEEp TEXAS.

Comment: Calm down, indeed.
Who cares even if Obama becomes President?
What is he going to DO?
Has he thought about that?
He will have to retreat from Iraq - the nation's first defeat since Vietnam. He will get the blame for all the consequences, the bloody chaos.
It will cover him with shame.
Isn't Hillary actually LUCKY she is not going to win this year?
Comment: Yeah, let's return to the days of the great foreign policy of Willy Clinton: Bombed an aspirin factory in the Sudan the day Monica testified to a Federal Grand Jury. Built a "mighty coalition" in the Caribbean to invade Haiti, which is WAY worse off now because Slick put a sadist in charge. Does absolutely NOTHING when terrorists attacked us many, many times offshore, which emboldened them to attack us on our own soil. I'd say it takes a Bush to clean up after a Clinton -- hopefully, Bush also disinfected the Oval Office after Slick left his slime there. We don't need Bill back in the White House humping the furniture.
Comment: Is there any difference between the Republicans and the Democrats? DEFINITELY NOT! At the present, the only presidential candidate that would qualify as a true Reublican is Ron Paul. Bush, McCain, Romney, etc. contradict what Republicans are to be like. My vote is for Ron Paul; but I'm afraid that the majority of Republicans reject him because they don't care for the Constitution and our country.
Comment: When are the Paulbots going to go away? Spamming every conceivable internet forum about that crackpot racist misogynist goon is getting very old.
Comment: Why do you call my comment 'spam'? Don't I have the right to express my views? Perhaps you are one of those that don't care for the Constitution and that's why can't stand Ron Paul and disrespect him by what you call him. By the way, I'm a Mexican-American, born in this great country and love it; and I believe that Ron Paul is the only true American that brings hope to America. If he is not elected as President, prepared to lose your feedom...... God have mercy on us!
Comment: ....but the only Republican I would EVER vote for is Ron Paul, good call on that one....too bad he'll never be nominated.
Comment: "Is there any difference between the Republicans and the Democrats? DEFINITELY NOT!"
...I beg to differ...
Comment: Karl Rove makes good, clear, and valid points. Too bad all of it will fly over the heads of the Democratic leaning writers. More sadly, most of it will not be understood by the so-called conservatives whose short attention span only allows them to think about the two things the blow-hard, windbag radio broadcasters have hitched their stars to: Illegal Immigration and taxcuts without expenditure cuts.
Comment: Blah Blah Blah Republicans learning to fight Democrats, Democrats learning to fight Republicans blah blah blah and all the while the world goes around and gives time for other nations to build up as we fight amongs ourselves. The media needs to promote what is really going on so we can join together as AMERICANS and focus on building and promoting and growing and not fighting amongst ourselves like some spoiled kindergarden brats.
Back in the day everyone could see the american automakers being overtaken and quality becoming an issue and instead of doing a major overhaul and swithching up the game to win we focused on fighting each other and everyone lost!!! Bring it back for Detroit!!! I don't want to hear down with Ford or Chevy sucks or Dodge is better than you, i want to hear how we cover each others backs, roll with the best products and put our people to work with hope for a brighter tomorrow. stop fighting each other AMERICA and put it together now so ten years from now we can deal with new problems and not be caught up in the ones from today.
Comment: Gee whicz, HolyRoller really MUST be a sissy, I keep telling him what a moron he is but he just keeps going. I guess he'll shut up come November.
Comment: Karl Rove is without a doubt the person most responsible for dragging the Republican Party down into the gutter and here he is commenting on the parties demise. Here is the key person responsible for putting George bush in office and keeping him there by spinning every possible scenario known to politics. The man has no conscience and no sense of the scope of the damage he has caused to the US. Is the Republican Party doomed? I don???t know however I certainly hope Rove???s version disappears never to surface again.

Comment: This is simply post-derailment rationalization from the man who personally threw the switch underneath the moving train that was the Republican Party.
Comment: This is simply post-derailment rationalization from the man who personally threw the switch underneath the moving train that was the Republican Party.
Comment: "The GOP's demise isn't as imminent as some would have it?" Maybe not Mr. Rove, but the era of right-wing extremism, exemplified by yourself and the W Administration, is OVER. The GOP is stuck with McCain, and right-wing idealogues like youself, Limbaugh, etc., cannot stand it.
Comment: One month into the Presidential election year, leading candidates have yet to address issues of urgent importance for the every day lives of Americans.
Health insurance industry, agribusiness giants, corporate criminals, nuclear power, energy providers pollution controls, big oil, big banks, drug companies, union busters, war profiteers, credit card companies, corporate Democrats in Congress and Corporate Republicans in Congress.
This list of issues has been ignored by the so called leading candidates for President of the United States. The private cable networks, who now sponsor Presidential debates, have worked overtime to exclude questions on these issues, not to mention the candidates and the civic groups supporting these issues.
What issues are the leading candidates now supposed to speak on while they wait out the American electorate until the Democrat???s and Republican Party???s convention?
The message is that the natives are restless. The leading candidates do not represent whom they claim to represent.
Comment: As usual Rove's comments are super partisian. Why do you need both Will and Rove in the same edition? One of them at a time shoudl be enough demogogary and off topic digs at the Clintons and other progressive thinkers.
Comment: Shame on Newsweek! I will not be renewing my subcription that I've had for years. It is disgusting that you provide a platform, let alone PAY this crimminal to write his republican propaganda is outrageous. I wouldn't mind reading a conservative/right week commentator who is legitimate and can actually write well. But a treasonist crimminal?
I'll be willing to read his nonsensical drivel when he writes from a jail cell where he belongs.
Comment: THE ERA OF SUPPLY ECONOMICS IS OVER SMILI
Comment: President Reagan's gifts to the Republican Party were ideas: growing the economy through tax cuts, limiting government's size, forcefully confronting totalitarian threats, making human rights a centerpiece of America's foreign policy, respecting unborn human life, empowering the individual with more freedom. Those ideas endure. They give Republicans a philosophical foundation on which to build...."
It is frightening to read that Karl thinks these ideas are a legacy upon which to build Reublicanism. The extension of each one has led America downhill by degrading our ability to care and support one another, which is the function of government. Don't let this man make you think the American people didn't get the message. Young people clearly see these "ideas" as they were contorted by the neoconservative lack-of administration to be life-destroying in practice. And to claim "respect for the unborn!" as a Republiican value - Please! People have always held life to be sacred, but women particularly understand how much energy reproduction requires and their choices have always been difficult. Injecting laws into their vaginas hasn't helped.
As for hating the addition of his opinion into Newsweek - it's ugly to read his clever mental manipulations. I'm sure the hope is his followers will become exposed to rational thought as they page thru Newsweek, looking for his column. We must believe Americans can now see through his slimy mentality.
Republicanism, as normally moderately applied by the likes of Nelson Rockefellor, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Mark Hatfield, Bob Packwood and countless others protecting the classical approach while the Democrats try to incorporate change: it's a continuum and all this punditry and rhetoric is pathetic.
Comment: I'm glad to see that someone else remembers Ronnie Raygun as a total disaster. I honestly don't know why the republidots keep saying his name like he was some great statesman. He was a crook, a liar, a destructive idealogue, and a raving maniac. "The great communicator"??? I guess so if you consider lying communication.
Maybe some people need their memories jogged: Iran-Contra, Ollie North, "Just Say No", Grenada, Nancy "Skeletor: Reagan. A;exander Haig. Meese.
I am sooooo glad this whole republican revolution is over, it's like we're emerging from the dark ages.
Comment: I have been a subscriber to Newsweek for 40 years or more and am not renewing my subscription this year because of the company's decision to include Karl Rove as a contributor. This man has done a significant amount of damage to truth, freedom and democracy and his public service is under multiple clouds of suspicion. He should not be provided financial support for Newsweek - let him go on talk radio.
Comment: Mr. Rove, as usual, makes his points using eloquently wriiten statements, but it appears form reading some of the posted comments, no one really believes his B.S. anymore. And for the record, I never did.
Comment: Check on a Democratic senator from California, who has resigned from a powerfull position on a defense committee, when information that this committee was giving her husbands companies, up to 90% of there gov. contracts, without bidding them out. NO, it's not Halliburton. Most of the comments on this article are not even relevant to the article. Liberal tactic, if you can't understand it change the subject.
Comment: I'm sorry, the word "Liberal" is no longer a slander. The Respublican party is done, Bush killed it. Too bad so many of our kids had to die for this to happen. I guess thet were fighting for our liberty after all.
Comment: Dear Turd Blossom:
I may not respect your tactics, but I will say that you definitely have a pulse, understaning, handle on the realities of this election. It is still far too early to concede that the era of Regan is over. I am also amazed at the comments posted on this site. Did any one read what you said???? It's not about taking a political stand, it's about whether or not the GOP has a future. If any party is in trouble, I would bet on the Dems as they are embroiled in the decision to back a woman or an African American man. Hmmmm, where did the issues go?

Comment: I trust that Mr Rove is comfortable and happy with the kind of comment posted here by HolyRoller. This individual seems to harbor the delusion that GOD only cares about those that agree with present day Republican orthodoxy. Certainly many individuals such as HolyRoller make outrageous statements like this just to get a rise out of the rest of us but I find it very disturbing that there seems to be so many of them. If not for liberals in the mental health establishment in the 1960's and 70's many of these people would be institutionalized and we wouldn't be exposed to their ravings. Take pills HolyRoller and turn the computer off.
Comment: I totally agree with Karl Rove. The GOP has a great future as long as know-nothings and suckers fall for the sleazy, slime-ball strategies, dirty tricks and out-and-out lies which is Rove???s only claim to fame. When all else fails, the GOP can always rig the election through voter intimidation, voter suppression, defective voting machines. They can pass voter ID laws that are thinly disguised versions of poll taxes or they can hack into voting machines. It???s ironic that we are spending thousands of lives and trillions of dollars bringing democracy to Iraq, and we are permitting a scumbag like Karl Rove to destroy democracy here at home. As long as scumbags like Rove are in business, we are no one???s model of how a democracy works.

These CORRUPTED CAPITALISTS decided to unite and Profit in Iraq. THEIR AGENDA IS TO TRANSFER THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER'S MONEY to COMPANIES like HALLIBURTON and PRIVATE security firms like BLACK WATER. THEY SUCCESSFULLY BUILT A MINI WASHINGTON IN IRAQ. OUR EMBASSY is bigger than the NATIONAL MALL. HOW MUCH MONEY DID THAT CAUSES US. WE DO NOT NEED FIFTEEN SECRET BASE IN THE IRAQI DESSERT. WE ONLY NEED THREE. IT IS THIS transfer of wealth from the AMERICAN CITIZEM to a FEW FIRMS that has left the AMERICAN BANK BROKE.
THIS new economy in Iraq HAS GENERATED oil comPainies, caPitalists that suPPort the Bush Administration, War Profiteers and other Private comPanies Billions in PROTFITS at the tax Payers exPense. HERE"S THE proof, keep in mind this is just the tip ot the ice berg
Cheney's stock options which were worth $241,498 a year ago, are now valued at more than $8 million-- for an increase of 3,281% . Cheney has pledged to give the proceeds to charity. Cheney continues to receive a deferred salary from the Halliburton. He was paid $205,298 in 2001; $162,392 in 2002; $178,437 in 2003; and $194,852 in 2004.
Halliburton, has already raked in more than $10 billion for work in Iraq, and was handed some of the first Katrina contracts. The company has been criticized by auditors for its handling of no-bid contacts in Iraq, and there have been numerous allegations of over charging for services. Auditors found the firm marked up meal prices for troops and inflated gas prices in a deal with a Kuwaiti supplier. The company also built the American prison at Guantanamo Bay. "It is unseemly for the Vice President to continue to benefit from this company at the same time his Administration funnels billions of dollars to it". Lautenberg
They even "pimped" our troops. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
Do you think Bush and Cheney care that we are spending billions in IRAQ, NO. THis is why they hated the CLINTONS. THE CLINTON"S ACTUALLY USED TAX payer money to help the middle class and all AMERICANS.

Comment: I am disappointed in Newsweek. Initially I read it from cover to cover without checking the identity of the author of any specific article. Imagine my chagrin to discover that the article titled, ???Crackup? Not So Fast,??? was by Darth Vader???s evil stepson, Karl Rove. Newsweek gave up any sense of integrity as a balanced news source when it hired this political scumbag to further spread his lies to the public. I am willing to give those who have different opinions from me a chance when their reputation is of being a reasoning, thoughtful individual. Rove leaves a bad taste in my mouth just to say his name.

Comment: EXCELLENT question nelson. LET me tell you why I would vote democrat. WE WILL SAVE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS WHEN WE BRING OUR TROOPS HOME. Every other first world country Provides health care for their citizens. Under the democratic plan those who can afford health care will pay for it. THERE is no way we can leave children without HEALTH CARE it is IMMORAL AND CRUEL. THE Republican party only caters to one group those who make more than two hundred thousand a year. THEY do not care about the rest of the population. SO they lie and have citizens believe that we cannot afford to provide HEALTH CARE FOR CHILDREN. Then they turn around and accept hundred of millions from oil, insurance and drug companies. JEB BUSH IS HEAVILY INVESTED IN DRUG COMpanies. IT IS BECOMING THE MOST profitable business in the world. VERY VERY powerful. DO NOT GET ME WRONG THESE COMpanies have a right to make a profit but not at the expense of the AMERICAN people's WELL BEING. WE HAVE SENT A MAN TO THE MOON AND HAVE LANDED ON MARS ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT THE RICHEST NATION ON EARTH CANNOT provide HEALTH CARE for children. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT. YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO FDR in mid thirty's when he was pushing his NEW DEAL. THEY CRITICISM WERE IDENTICAL. WE AS AMERICANS NEED A NEW DEAL AND A REpublican can never give us a FAIR DEAL.

Comment: There is a senator from California, a Democrat, whom had a powerfull position on a defense committee. She has since removed her self, as more info came out on the fact that her husbands defense companys were getting up to 90% percent of there contracts given to them by this committee, without bidding them out. NO, it wasn not Halliburton, which wins most of there contracts in a competitive bidding proccess.
Due some reaserch. You won't find it in the main stream media.
Comment: Even the republicans want change that is why McCain will eventually win the nomination. A lot of republicans will vote for Obama in the national election. WHY? THIS ADMINISTRATION is MISGUIDED KARL. THE AMERICAN people cannot stay stupid forever. We want the best future for our children. Many Republicans are disenchanted with the current administration and their own nominee. Instead of voting for McCain they will vote democrat. There is no way a Republican can win this election. McCain will keep the race close but will lose in thirty seven states. It is time to implement the Jeffersonian doctrine, and take back control of OUR GOVERNMENT.
Remember the republicans had control of all three branches of government and did nothing. No one is going to fall for this again. Gore and Kerry must be scratching their heads and wondering how on earth they lost. The Republicans and JEB BUSH have to wait four more years.
FInally someone who recognizes that corporate America has indoctrinated the average JOE. JOE IS IN DEBT because he consistently made bad investments. Why do you think that the FED lowered interest rates twice. THEY do not want AMERICAN CITIZENS TO SAVE and INVEST rather they want you to spend at all costs.
STAY STUpid is the theme in this tragedy. IT is the reason many Americans are needlessly going broke. Many HAVE BEEN completely indoctrinated spend and make bad investments.
EIGHTY percent of the world's capital is owned by a thirteen to twenty families. BUSH's are directly linked to these families. THE QUEEN of ENGLAND is part of this as well. IT IS IN THEIR BEST INTEREST TO KEEp people STUpid. INDOCTRINATE THEM TO Spend and manipulate the economy through the FEDERAL RESERVE to encourage people to spend. EVERY AMERICAN needs to learn this RULE.
The middle class has been the victim of corporate indoctrination. Stay StuPid. They do not want you to double your money they want you to double their money. Every middle class family should be able to do compound interest problems in their heads. It can be learned in grade two. It is a very useful skill to have because it gives you a lightning fast benchmark to determine how good (or not so good) a potential investment is likely to be.
The rule says that to find the number of years required to double your money at a given interest rate, you just divide the interest rate into 72. For example, if you want to know how long it will take to double your money at eight percent interest, divide 8 into 72 and get 9 years. If the Middle Class can make better financial decisions it would have a profound affect on the economy.
The rule A stronger middle class will make the rich richer in the long run and helP uPlift the Poor.

Every other first world country Provides health care for their citizens. Under the democratic plan those who can afford health care will pay for it. THERE is no way we can leave children without HEALTH CARE it is IMMORAL AND CRUEL. THE Republican party only caters to one group those who make more than two hundred thousand a year. THEY do not care about the rest of the population. SO they lie and have citizens believe that we cannot afford to provide HEALTH CARE FOR CHILDREN. Then they turn around and accept hundred of millions from oil, insurance and drug companies. JEB BUSH IS HEAVILY INVESTED IN DRUG COMpanies. IT IS BECOMING THE MOST profitable business in the world. VERY VERY powerful. DO NOT GET ME WRONG THESE COMpanies have a right to make a profit but not at the expense of the AMERICAN people's WELL BEING. WE HAVE SENT A MAN TO THE MOON AND HAVE LANDED ON MARS ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT THE RICHEST NATION ON EARTH CANNOT provide HEALTH CARE for children. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT. YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO FDR in mid thirty's when he was pushing his NEW DEAL. THEY CRITICISM WERE IDENTICAL. WE AS AMERICANS NEED A NEW DEAL AND A REpublican can never give us a FAIR DEAL.
IRAQ IS A MONEY MAKER FOR A FEW AND A TAX BURDEN FOR MANY. EDDIEWHERE 2008

EXCELLENT question nelson.
IRAQ IS A MONEY MAKER FOR A FEW AND A TAX BURDEN FOR MANY. EDDIEWHERE 2008
Can he really make you believe that he will leave no child behind again, How many times can one nation be foolded. Think about all the bankrupt people sitting at home, those in debt, those without healthcare, and unable to afford education watching his speech. Their probably wondering how they could have been suckered into voting for this guy.They did not listen and we all know many of them voted for Bush in two thoudand four. OBAMA/.Hillary for president.
WHY CAN'T WE SEE THAT THE PeoPle Profiting from the war are haPPy with the status quo. WHo are these PeoPle,
Private Contrators who lobbied the RePublican adminstration
Cheney/ Halliburton who Provided billion dollar contracts to selected firms.
These caPitalists decided to unite and Profit in Iraq, Build a new economy in Iraq where the oil comPainies, caPitalists that suPPort the Bush Administration, War Profiteers and other Private comPanies could all make Billions at the tax Payers exPense. HERE"S THE proof, keep in mind this is just the tip ot the ice berg
Cheney's stock options which were worth $241,498 a year ago, are now valued at more than $8 million-- for an increase of 3,281% . Cheney has pledged to give the proceeds to charity. Cheney continues to receive a deferred salary from the Halliburton. He was paid $205,298 in 2001; $162,392 in 2002; $178,437 in 2003; and $194,852 in 2004.
Halliburton, has already raked in more than $10 billion for work in Iraq, and was handed some of the first Katrina contracts. The company has been criticized by auditors for its handling of no-bid contacts in Iraq, and there have been numerous allegations of over charging for services. Auditors found the firm marked up meal prices for troops and inflated gas prices in a deal with a Kuwaiti supplier. The company also built the American prison at Guantanamo Bay. "It is unseemly for the Vice President to continue to benefit from this company at the same time his Administration funnels billions of dollars to it". Lautenberg
They even "pimped" our troops. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
Do you think Bush and Cheney care that we are spending billions in IRAQ, NO. THis is why they hated the CLINTONS. THE CLINTON"S ACTUALLY USED TAX payer money to help the middle class and all AMERICANS.
Comment: Rove: "As people do better, they start voting like Republicans--unless they have too much education and vote Democratic." No truer words were written!
Comment: Rove is one arrogant, deceitful, corrupt ,and unethical scumbag. He should be indicted and put in prison along w/ Cheney, Rummy and "The Decider" for all the harm that has been done to our great nation. Instead he's given a forum! Please spare us his so called insights, Rove has nothing to offer.
Gee, Newsweek you used to be a class act. What happened? I know times are tough out there but did you have to stoop so low?
Listen to your readers!
Comment: hmmm... Karl, didn't you assure George W. Bush that the republicans were going to do just fine in the 2006 Congressional elections? And yet, you keep speaking.
You're either getting McCain, which will alter the direction of the republican party to some extent. Or, you're getting Romney, who will most definitely lose in November.
Comment: HolyRoller, are you trying to look as stupid and ignorant as possible?
You're right, Bush has kept us safe from terrorists - I feel SO much safer now that Iraq is full of Al Quaeda fighters. And that fellow Sadaam was really keeping us all up at night, I'm so glad we've spent a bazillion dollars and 4 thousand American lives to remove him. If only he'd turned out to be a terrorist. I wonder if Bid Laden would still be alive and plotting to murder Americans if Bush had kept his eye on the ball?
Your boy McCain suggests we'll be in Iraq for the next hundred years. What a visionary! This war has been SO GOOD for our nation, let's just extend it forever! That'll certainly help our economy, and show the terrorists we're serious. There you go. No one will think we're sissies. But they'll have no doubt we're idiots.
Comment: Pay no heed to HolyRoller, he's obviously a "Limbaugh Conservative" and therefore has no reasoning capacity of his own, he just parrots whatever Limbaugh and O'Reilly tell him, like the rest. Good riddance to them all....
Comment: Karenn1- you must be a liberal. but explain to me this. if we are truely broke, how can you consciously vote for a democrat when all of them have already said they support UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE. How much do you think that's going to cost us?? And with the illegals sapping from the economy, the last thing we'd want is to give THEM healthcare too. If you want to fix the economy, make money, and thrive, you need to 1) stop hiring illegal immigrants- they take that money (american money) and they send it back to mexico where it's spent in the mexican economy 2) cut back on exportation of jobs- we spend billions of dollars in hiring overseas help and none of that money comes back into OUR economy. We are printing bills we never see again. That's what's jacking up inflation. Also people are living beyond their means and racking up credit debt. When they can't pay their bills, what happens? Credit businesses go out of business and people get their possessions repoed (like houses-- that may answer the question as to why we've had so many foreclosures). If you want a strong economy, do the two things listed above and CUT TAXES. Not just for the people, but for corporations. We tax corporations more for producing more. What sense does that make? why are we punishing production? The only person in this election that can do the previously mentioned and make our economy succeed is Gov. Mitt Romney.
Comment: HolyRoller:
Your obsession with sissies reveals an awful lot about your subconscious struggle to deal with your gayness. Good luck with that.
Comment: You called it dude...LMAO
Comment: Rove is trying to put a spin on the corruption of the republican party that he and his former boss created that makes it appear as if the revulsion that the country feels about it is normal growth. Even exhuming Reagan from his grave won't make bush's failed policies work, or restore the country to it's former greatness. That will take hard work, as gw likes to say.
Comment: Republicans will spend,spend print ,print till the dollar is worthless. Greed has no limit. Russia when this route to a worthless ruble. Military comlpex is also at fault, they have no limit to the waste they can produce. Just wrap yourself in the flag and ask for more tax payer MONEY. Who ever we are chasing. is growing younger. Their are No Conservative this is used loosly. What the party has become is in the history books.
Comment: Euro-Trash Sissies
Comment: Takes one to know one, huh??
Comment: This should have been written in German....
Comment: McCain will get slaughtered by any democratic candidate.
Even the republicans want change that is why McCain will eventually win the nomination. A lot of republicans will vote for Obama in the national election. WHY? THIS ADMINISTRATION is MISGUIDED KARL. THE AMERICAN people cannot stay stupid forever. We want the best future for our children. Many Republicans are disenchanted with the current administration and their own nominee. Instead of voting for McCain they will vote democrat. There is no way a Republican can win this election. McCain will keep the race close but will lose in thirty seven states. It is time to implement the Jeffersonian doctrine, and take back control of OUR GOVERNMENT.
Remember the republicans had control of all three branches of government and did nothing. No one is going to fall for this again. Gore and Kerry must be scratching their heads and wondering how on earth they lost. The Republicans and JEB BUSH have to wait four more years.
FInally someone who recognizes that corporate America has indoctrinated the average JOE. JOE IS IN DEBT because he consistently made bad investments. Why do you think that the FED lowered interest rates twice. THEY do not want AMERICAN CITIZENS TO SAVE and INVEST rather they want you to spend at all costs.
STAY STUpid is the theme in this tragedy. IT is the reason many Americans are needlessly going broke. Many HAVE BEEN completely indoctrinated spend and make bad investments.
EIGHTY percent of the world's capital is owned by a thirteen to twenty families. BUSH's are directly linked to these families. THE QUEEN of ENGLAND is part of this as well. IT IS IN THEIR BEST INTEREST TO KEEp people STUpid. INDOCTRINATE THEM TO Spend and manipulate the economy through the FEDERAL RESERVE to encourage people to spend. EVERY AMERICAN needs to learn this RULE.
The middle class has been the victim of corporate indoctrination. Stay StuPid. They do not want you to double your money they want you to double their money. Every middle class family should be able to do compound interest problems in their heads. It can be learned in grade two. It is a very useful skill to have because it gives you a lightning fast benchmark to determine how good (or not so good) a potential investment is likely to be.
The rule says that to find the number of years required to double your money at a given interest rate, you just divide the interest rate into 72. For example, if you want to know how long it will take to double your money at eight percent interest, divide 8 into 72 and get 9 years. If the Middle Class can make better financial decisions it would have a profound affect on the economy.
The rule A stronger middle class will make the rich richer in the long run and helP uPlift the Poor.

Comment: holly molly
Comment: Dear Karl; you really are the king of spin. It is not the days; It is the number of primaries, buddy. 1988 : 3. 1996 : 4. 2000: 6. 2008 : 8 and counting
Comment: I would have to say the crack up in the Republican Party began in the Presidential election of 2000 and was again cracked up in 2004. Congressional allegiance to obstruction of justice continued in 2006 when Bush and his advisors were not impeached. The bipartisan insurrection continues. But the Presidential election of 2008 will signal the beginning of war against the US Congress waged by the American electorate. Who needs a war in Iraq when you have the current US Congress working against us? Remove Bush from office before November 2008. Libertarian, Independent, and Green Parties Unite against the bipartisan corruption represented in Clinton, McCain, Romney. Vote Obama, Vote Paul, Vote Kucinich but do not vote McCain, Clinton,Romney or Huckabee,
Comment: I'm trying to decide who are the biggest weakminded crybabies. Mormons or Socialist Democrats. Its really too close to call. Why don't ya'll move to Europe and wear a burka. Bunch of sissies.
Comment: Youy're no born again christian... quit hiding behind the monicker..... you must be a liberal democrat hiding behind religion. No true christian would utter the judgments that so seeminly come out of your mouth.
Comment: ...and I'm trying to figure out who is the most ignorant and murderous megalomaniacs, the Republicans or the Evangelists....
Comment: The following statement was made by Karl Rove: "As people do better, they start voting like Republicans--unless they have too much education and vote Democratic."
Comment: Yaawwwnn. . . .Hm? what's that? Did you say something Carl?
The GOP's doin ok after all you say?
Okey dokey. (Pat's on the head)
Comment: Rove has directed the dirtiest, most divisive, and most damaging campaigns and administrations in my memory. It will take decades to recover from the damage the Bush administration has caused nationally and internationally, all with major contributions from Mr. Rove.
I can???t bear the thought that my subscription pays for distributing Karl Rove???s poison. You, of course, have the freedom to publish what you like. I, likewise, have the freedom to make this issue the last of my 35-plus years as a Newsweek subscriber.
Comment: Our President has kept you from further attacks from your mohommed friends. If Hussein Obama were to be elected you would be wearing a burka, or worse. They tend to execute most sissies.
Comment: "Our President" has killed 5,000 of our kids chasing ghosts. Goodbye and good riddance to all you fascist conservanazis.
Comment: Karl Rove and those he has advised these past years are wanted for treason. It is no secret that he walked away free and clear from waging insurrection against the American electorate. The leading candidates will not address the issue of how this nation will allow the current administration a free pass to torture, massive consitutional violations, and a willful deciet in placing the US military into the quagmire of Iraq. But justice, with or without a quorum of committee members, will prevail against the men and women of the Bush Administration. Make no mistake.
Comment: Newsweek, why do you continue to let this piece of human waste write in your publication??? You are doing serious damage to your reputation by paying and letting KKKarl write for Newsweek.
Comment: This is from the same man who predicted G.O.P. gains in the last national election. Karl, go back to giving speeches to the koolade drinkers in the G.O.P. and wait for the Great Pumpkin.
Comment: And take a look at the insurance add just to the right of this comment box. It says 1 out of 7 Americans is uninsured. It says this is a tragedy. Who is the American electorate supporting in health costs? Insurance companies? Yes, and that must change. But the leading candidates and a bipartisan Congress will not address this change.
Comment: A bipartisan Congress is responsible for allowing 7 years of obstruction of justice in the Executive Branch and three Offices of the Attorney General of the United States. Hillary Clinton advisors are dogs of war. McCain will escalate the war in Iraq to the entire Middle East. Mr. Obama has no weight behind him even though his speeches are soothing to those who think he can change the winds of economic and social war. The American electorate must unite into a powerful enough voting bloc to unseat the Congressional bipartisan allegiance to obstruction of justice in its war against the American electorate.
Comment: A war against the American electorate. A Senate confirmation of an Attorney General of the United States who takes the Fifth Amendment (practically) so as not to incriminate himself, the President, or the entire judicial system is but one battle in the war against the American electorate and the Constitution of the United States.
Comment: After 7 years of the Bush regime, I must say by far this has been the absolute worse presidency ever. I never saw a man so out of touch with reality as George W Bush. I guess all those years of a booze soaked brain will do it.
Comment: why is newsweek giving a forum of any kind to a man who has helped do so much to damage this country?
Comment: A Karl Rove article is death by a thousand cuts - too many little, slightly inaccurate statements to answer without writing volumes (Reagan "gift" of making Human Rights a key part of foreign policy? More than Carter before him? Plus a dozen or so more like it). It requires time consuming attention to detail that makes for dull reading. He's a master at it, but it just highlights for me that his time, and those of Republicans and Democrats like him, has past. Let's turn the page.

Comment: Aw don't cry "sissy"
Comment: Probably more than half of the Republicans would prefer non-McCain to McCain, but no respectable alternative has emerged. The too little, too late effort to prop up Romney as the true conservative to RINO McCain will probably fall short. Ironicly, the winner-take-all system will make even a theoretical anti-McCain coallition of Romney and Huck fall short on delegates, and McCain will get the nomination with less than 40% of the votes.
Comment: Romney made the RINO list TWICE. McCain never has-he has an 85% conservative voting record AND he will KILL mohommeds. Thank GOD for a man who is not a sissy.
Comment: I think you're the sissy HolyRoller. Go crawl back under your rock.
Comment: The "crackup" that people are reporting on has little to do with how many days it takes to have a nominee decided and more to do with the split in the party on the actual issues. The war and imigration are two of the biggest issues and the party is servely split on what direction to go in on both. Also the candidate most likely to win (McCain) is a devisive figure within the party.

Comment: The GOP is not perfect. However, uniquely but not exclusively, as a young Black man-- I respect the Party of Lincoln. My hope is that more leaders will emerge in the GOP who are willing to implement creative intervention strategies focused on the most endangered American communities. And there are ways to do so without over-taxing and over-spending. The Party of Lincoln has a legacy of courage that runs deep.
Comment: Thanks for your post. The Dems have that great racist Sen. Byrd as a legacy. They have failure after failure in their social reform programs. A Dem. once stood for many human values, such as freedom and opportunity. Now they are wanna-be EuroTrash.
Comment: HolyRoller is a loudmouthed idiot.
Comment: Republicon's have not been the party of Lincoln's day for decades. About the same time that the democratic party that Strom Thurmond joined the republicons inprotest AGAINST civil rights.
