A Way Out of the Wilderness

Rove belongs behind bars. His memoirs are a pack of lies. He outed a CIA agent (or praticipated in the cover) a federal crime. That he's still writing columns is no credit either to Newsweek or the GOP.

The GOP is fast becoming the part of Limbaugh & Rove. If this is the way they want to be viewed by the American public, they will be a non-factor for years to come. They put the same tired people out there everyday with the same tired message, and most of the people who vote for them are dying. The party of tomorow is he party that knows how to effectively recruit and maintain a wide range of voters and ideas.

The party of Limbaugh & Rove will keep the rolls of the Dems and Independents growing.

The funniest thing ever was Rove's face when Obama won Ohio. I hope the Republicans continue to follow the advice of Karl Rove. it's pretty unbelievable this guy still has any voice in the party all. History is already beginning to settle in around Bush and he looks a lot more like Hoover than Truman.

What's this? Karl Rove, the master of gutter politics and slime, refuser to obey supoenas to disclose his role in the CIA case, urging the GOP to appear morally serious? His hypocritcal comment belongs on the Dignity Index, not here! You blew, it Newsweek.

11. Ditch the Religious Right.

On the "Culture Matters" point: "Culture matters. Suggestions that we abandon social conservatism, including our pro-life agenda, should be ignored." I beg to disagree for the following reasons:

Roe v. Wade will never be overturned. Give it up. Get over it. It's not gonna happen, Carl, and you know that damn well. What is going to happen is that politicians will continue to use this issue as a divisive force to drvie voters to one side or the other - Democrate or Republican. In the end, nothing will change. Ever. So all you Bible Thumpers can just fuhgettaboutit. America will never retreat back to the pre-Choice days of coat hangers, back alleys, fampant infections and deaths, to allow the right of life for the unborn fetus to RULE THE LAND. In my wildest dreams, I cannot imagine the GOP ever voting for a candidate who would take a stand on what happens to these unborns once they're born - they are against social welfare programs of any kind, and so we'd have a major problem with orphans, unwanted children, mothers too poor to raise their own kids, etc. and the GOP, once again, would turn its blind old eye.

Keep religion out of the political arena. I know it's very tempting, Carl, to attract the mass of anti-intellectual, psuedo-Christian bigots across pockets of this great land, but in the end the GOP will lose out if they focus on this as their base. Stupid, uneducated people need to be helped and educated - why don't you make that part of the new GOP platform - help the bigots get "re-educated" - ship 'em to the big cities and immerse them in social service work or something - community service - how 'bout that?

Don't think that Sarah Palin has a chance in hell. She needs an education. She is probably very nice and earthy, but she's also an ego-maniac who can't complete a proper sentence in plain, graamatically correct English. We've had enough of that from the Bush family, thanks.

Setting a new standard for a total lack of ethics, someone in the press gives Karl Rove, the 2nd most unethical human on the planet, the poster child for dirty rotten politics, the master of pure propaganda, a job as any kind of a writer? You must be joking. Now Newsweek is at the same level as Faux News.

It is interesting to note that Rove's prescriptions for the GOP do not include a single new policy initiative; what he suggests is that the Republicans adhere to the same tired ideas that have led America to the brink of catastrophe. Perhaps he's failed to notice that these policies have now been thoroughly repudiated by the American people -- or perhaps he believes that if he pretends not to notice, the electoral calamaties that have befallen the GOP will simply go away. Moreover, to hear Mr. Rove refer to the GOP as "the party of Lincoln" is a nauseating farce. Today's Republican party bears no relation whatsoever to the party led with such distinction by Abraham Lincoln. Rove, his boss and his minions have spent most of their adult lives pouring poison into the well of American democracy; for him to invoke Lincoln in an attempt to cover his sins is an altogether vain enterprise. Newsweek and the rest of the media should not provide a platform for a man who is nothing more than a vile fear-monger.

Comment: What's this? Karl Rove, the master of gutter politics and slime, lecturing the GOP on morality? What a charade! As John McEnroe would put it, "You can't be SERIOUS!"

Why would anyone listen to this man? He is responsible for ,much of the damage wrought by the Bushies over tha last 8 years and is patently a criminal.

Will Chuck Hagel be the just the first or the last to identify what's been pulling the Republican party downward? What other Senators, Congressmen and Governors will have the stones to follow up and rid the party of those like Limbaugh. I don't expect much out of them to tell you the truth.

So,Karl, you really believe we can buy insurance from a lizard. And we should believe a column written by a weasel? Previous posters rightly point out the scorched earth tactics of Republicans when in power and the Bush administration's refusal to admit to any mistakes for years. Good luck returning to power. And for godness sakes, run Palin in four years, if she's not too busy shooting wolves from airplanes, chanting drill baby drill, being a pit bull attack dog, or dismissing global warning. You betcha!

5 years ago, when President company started, Bush popularity was 60-70%, so no serious Democrat wanted to compete. If they knew that before elections Bush popularity would be 35%. Even against Kerry Bush needed luck to win.
1 years ago leading Republicans considered their chances against Hillary close to zero, so they eliminated themselves from contention (like Juliany, who had good vacation in Florida). If they knew...

War on terror a matter of national survival? Please, don't insult us Rove. It's important to stop terrorists, they can obviously do a lot of damage after all, but the idea that they threaten our national survival is pure hyperbole.
