    Reagan is credited with "making human rights a centerpiece of America's foreign policy". I guess Mr. Rove called in sick the day the Reagan administration threw its wholehearted support to military juntas and dictators in Latin America, Haiti, Iraq, and The Philippines.
    This is why Reagan is to Latin America what Bin Ladin is to the US.

    "The other challenge is that many in that party mistake the "Third Way" tactics of the Clinton years for a substantive approach to governing. Triangulation???making yourself look good at the expense of allies and adversaries in both parties???is lousy for providing coherent answers to modern issues." That Rove would have the gall to write these words...

    The minute by minute coverage is almost enough to turn anyone off. Thank god the Super Bowl is tomorrow.
    The we wont have to hear MSM arguing over who said what when, and being all condescending about which any candidate they do not support.
    The issues are complicated. The 18 - 24 crowd has a weak understanding of history and actual economic and and global relationships. Obama web site is so in turn with the younger voters, no wonder they are following in line, and on-line. Th tools they uae in everyday life are right there....make Obama look "with in" and progressive.

    The reason the Democrats have a low approval rating is because they were given a mandate in 2006 to end the war, impeach Bush and Cheney, prosecute the criminals like Rove and Gonzales, and stop the corporate welfare state. We now have discovered that they are unwilling to do so. This does not mean that the Republicans are to survive. it means that both parties are corrupt and that the system is truly broken. We are now a fascist state with thugs in both parties. The answer is revolution, not a return to Reagan's trickle down urination on the masses.

    I agree that the MSM is too quick to come to conclusion about the status of Republican party because most of the journalist hardly know about American "primary" history and time and time again to proof to us how stupid there.

    Karl Rove is a monster and a non entity - he should be tried, convicted and shot in the brain.

    So why are we reading his tripe.

    Mr. Rove states: "The Democratic House and Senate have plummeted to the poorest congressional approval ratings in history."

    I'll agree on the poorest ratings statement, but to imply that it's because of a Democratic House and Senate is vividly mis-leading. Much of the disapproval stems from the GOP controlled Congress, which was happening not long ago. The idiocy that was coming out of the GOP controlled Congress, like proposals for "Freedom Fries," and efforts to amend the Constitution to ban gay marriage, and the unneeded fascist-like clamp-downs on the public's privacy, are all reasons why the public rates Congress poorly. The Democratic Congress, while giving it's tacit approval on some of those issues, were not the originators of these ideas. Nice try at shifting the blame, however. I know that misdirection and subterfuge are some of your most valued skills by the GOP.

    The biggest surprise of all is that an esteemed news magazine like Newsweek would give a job as commentator to one of the men most responsible for the ruinous political, social and foreign policies that have so characterized the Bush years. You should be ashamed of yourselves, Newsweek.

    The Dems would love nothing better than their "prophecies" to be true. The fact is that the in fightings exist to a more or lesser degree in each party each election season. Our two party system has swayed back and forth for over 200 years. We survive and the journalist sell another paper or magazine. We must learn to take it all with a lum of "salt."

    "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" Uh... Karl... umm... I think you forgot about Jimmy Carter. Seriously, such a blatant distortion should disqualify Rove from writing for any news magazine. He's not out to report or comment, he's out to manipulate readers.

    Most Americans have no interest in singing *** by ya as we process under the watchful eyes of totalitarian guards who ban divisions and polarizations in their Brave New World.

    I respect you greatly Mr. Rove and appreciate all that you have done for America, but I must disagree with you. The GOP is one nomination from imploding. It the idiots at the RNC think that they are going to shove Mittens Romney down our throat they are wrong. We will stay home.

    It won't just be a crackup, we will see an earthquake when OBAMA WINS THE DEM NOMINATION!!! So Rove start gathering your survival kit because its inevitable, folks are tired of divisions and polarizations.
