    To those who actually harbor lucid memories of the varnished hair, viciousness toward the poor, clownishly excessive man-makeup, empty platitudes and ever-pervasive undercurrent of dread of nuclear annihilation that was the era of President Alzheimer, the glaze-eyed website fawning over dead brain meltee Raygun is a sad testament to the pervarsive idiocy that is modern Amurkuh.

    Stoip lying in hopes that we the culturally literate wil forget what an assh*l* he was.

    Nice try, Karl. The Reagan Republican "Coalition" was always a farce and it only took 20 years of divisive wedge-issue, hate/fear politicking for it to come crashing down. You might have felt like a stud after securing the 2004 victory for Bush by pandering to the hatred of ant-gay religious conservatives, but that was an issue that most Americans didn't care about - including many fiscal conservatives and independents - and by being so out of touch and ignoring and alienating the majority of Americans (again, including many Republicans and independents) that knew the real problems in 2004 were the horrible mishandling of the war in Iraq, the war on terrorism (yes they are different!), our ballooning deficit and economy, the Rove machine forced the Reagan Republican Coalition off the rails for good. And in the process, Rove and Co. have given shape to a new and much stronger Democratic Party - one based on bringing intellect and common sense government back to Washington. In the end, common sense government will prevail in times of crisis like now and the record-breaking Democratic voter turnout and flood of campaign checks into the Democratic Party are evidence of that.

    Ergo, the Reagan Republican Coalition has finally been destroyed, and Karl Rove destroyed it. So, cheers to Karl Rove!!!!!

    Newsweek, are you going to also paste up on your magazine a backup article by the runaway ex attorney general Gonzales? , I really really need his statur and wisdom to compliment this article.

    Newsweek, your magazine comes to my house. What do you have with KR???. When this issue comes I will pay the snail mail postage to mail it physically back to you with a cancellation letter. In the West Texas oil patch W was and is called "the snake", no never to his face he is too vindictive----but now with Gonzales and Rowe gone from the levers of Federal Intimidation the filthy facts are again floating to the top of the cesspool called the republican partyinformation is again drunk driving{{he was arressted on DWI charges--right?!,cocaine,and draft dodging

    I would have cancelled my long term subscription (more than 10 years of Newsweek) due to the hiring of Karl Rove - but , gee, i already had to do that when Newsweek put Annie Leibovitz on the cover of the American edition and the rest of the world got an in depth look at the war in Afghanistan... your reputation as a news magazine in down in the gutter - along with Karl Rove...

    I will NEVER NEVER read one story about that immoral piece of trash. Sleep well you piece of tripe, 4000 deaths and thousands more horrifically wounded are on you and your minions. I'm sure you will because a swine has no conscience. Whether Rove is on TV, print media or screaming in the streets I will NEVER listen to one word that disgusting plague who is responsible for the demise of this country will never be heard by me

    There goes my description to Newsweek. If I wanted to listen to more conservative garbage, I would turn to Fox News.

    Why we need to listen to a major advisor or contributor of a failed presidency?

    What we can gain from it?

    Under Mr. Rove, American politics has sinked into the lowest denominator. Why we need to give such a person of low denominator any attention?

    Democrats believe in Justice and in working for the greater good as a way of forming a more perfect union through the Smear Use of Effective Governement.

    Republicans equate this with Communist Central Planning and represent the financial interests of about 5 millon people: The short sighted and greedy among the rich who are looting the treasury of the United States with Tax Cuts that 30% went to 130,000 people,.

    In order to achieve this they divide and conquor and formed A conglomerate of the Lunatic Finge.
    They thrive on an ignorant electorate and have been trashing the teachers of our children for decades.

    Their main Demostic agenda is to deceive and divide the elactorate through the use of Public Relations Spin, This with the help of their Appeasers: The Corporate Media beholden to them for Media Consolidation.

    There is nothing conservative about them and of the $9Trillion debt since George Washinton 70% of it has been under Reagan/Bush1/Bush2. Which Americans are paying off at the rate of about 25% or their salaries.

    They divided us when we needed to be strong and united. Vetaran against Veteran, Cathoslic against Catholic, State against State, African Americans and Christiansa against Gays, and the not too bright and ill informed against the knowledgable (The CHUTZPA Party calling them "the elite)

    They have increased the world wide arms race to level never seen in history. They have desomated the equipment and people of our Army to a dangerous point, And brough brain damage and PTSD to our first Responders.

    They have been trying to destroy the Agencies Americans PAY to PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS FOR DECADES. Ronald Reagan installed people to head them up who did not believe in their missions,.
    (FEMA, Consumer Product Safety, Army Corp of Engineers, Department of Ed, EPA, etc. under Ronald Reagan who disabled the USDA 75% of our meat was found to have SURGE of fecal matter.)

    But under Karl Rove they pushed out thousands of Non Partian Civil Servents (like Contract Negotiators) and replaced them with Brownies, Cult victims and Republican Party Fund Raisers, and began to make the Justice Dempartment into a WEAPON against the opposition.

    There is nothing Conservative about them, They are Raidical Right wing Juvenile Delinquents, with a significant number of them totalitarian. They are brainwashing Young People in their hatred. in order to grow more of them, and their 1100 Think Tanks have replaced rational thinking with Rationalizaton.

    Every tragedy we endure today is the result of Republican Ideology, which has been predictable and a torture to watch unfold..

    Its interesting that Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity all do not have college degrees. This explains many things whenever one listens to the arguments they present.

    In college, students major in an area for a deeper understanding of a subject. One of the things you learn in college is how much you do not know.

    Consequently, Karl, Rush, and Sean do not appreciate their lack of knowledge in many areas. For example, they know that small government is good, but do not really understand why its good. They understand taxes are bad, but do not understand why its bad. Consequently, whenever they make arguments, their logic always falters at some point.

    It is so predicatable that Karl, Rush, and Seans credibility and influence will decrease with time. Its fun to watch it happen so fast recently. It proves that American democracy really works because over the long run, Americans can see through bull.

    I also refuse to read the article, but of course did read the headline.
    Do not rule out the Repugs if Rove has anything to do with. After all there is still Diebold!!!!!

    • Posted By: Cazador72 @ 02/02/2008 11:59:51 PM

      Sorry Nirak, but Diebold be damned. Dems took the House and Senate in '06, Diebold or not. We are likely to see a Democrat in the White House and an even number of seats in congress. Republicans have no one to blame but themselves.

      • Posted By: Cazador72 @ 02/03/2008 12:18:32 AM

        ... and even "GREATER" number of seats in... My bad! :-)

      I think you have just given us all a clear picture of the typical Hussein Obama supporter. Thanks.

    You are the reason for the demise of the Republican party, and for the demise of this incredible nation of which we once could be so proud. There has never been a bigger traitor to American ideals than you, and that will be your legacy. You will never write or speak a word that will be heard as anything but a lie.

    1) Raygun's tax cuts were a miserable failure and that's why he had to raise taxes in 1982 and 1983.
    2) Raygun did not pander to the Fundies
    3) Raygun DID sell arms to terorists (Iran-Contra)

    • Posted By: ProFromOregon @ 02/02/2008 11:46:28 PM

      don't forget Reagan also raided the SS trust fund

  • Posted By: sanityinga @ 02/02/2008 11:37:44 PM

    You are so full of sh**, Rove. Not matter how you spin you have ruined the Republican Party. Can't quite thank you enough.
