A Way Out of the Wilderness

The days of Rovian politics and threatening deception are gone. The GOP is dead. The RVC is a mess and may never recover. The American People have learned a great deal during this election and over the last 8 years. We won't out up with the 'good ole boy' culture of Washington or believe the lies told to sway votes and lead us into places where we shouldn't be. Perhaps this will finally be an awakening to the 21st Century!

In other words, Republicans should be like Democrats, but manage to hide their true agenda of privilege for the greedy rich, gratuitous privatization to sabotage Social Security, medicare, and heath care, disdain for the Constitutional rights and liberties of American citizens, and support of useless wars to distract the public from the failing social and physical infrastructure.

Very clever, Mr. Rove! It might just work in the poor, ignorant states of Appalachla and the Mountain Time Zone.

What this Country needs is an independant party that can challenge the Democrats in elections we do need a two party system simply to maintain democracy.
The Republican Party could just fade away a fate it richly deserves. or it could become a marginal party based on an anti tax prolife platform that it is so enamored by

The real problem with the Republicans is they act like they won. They did the same in 2006. They still pushed their hate based, pro-corporate, pro-war agenda, when the people didn't want it. Republicans did then what they are doing now. They are telling the people what they think and what they want. The Democrats are listening to what the people. The Republicans think we are stupid and can't think ourselves.

Why is Karl Rove earning money writing about politics and not in sitting in jail? When will he be held accountable for the damage his rotten politics have caused? I'm disappointed Newsweek is publishing his writing and giving him credibility he does not deserve.

If artw comment is directed to me,

I checked the polls ...

For 1-2 weeks after Palin's selection,the ticket was 1-2% ahead.

Then she tanked & all transients flocked to Obi's camp,for "change "...

Karl Rove, you are the dirtiest, slimiest, and sleaziest politician, and IT would have been nice to see you go to jail.
( I pray that you are apprehended every day) You are not a good human, you are a rotten one. Case closed.

Mr. Rove, we have discovered your REAL philosophy, so no more fear mongering in order to give up our rights. Here is his mentor.........

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."
- Julius Caesar

The GOP must eschew Sarah Palin. She's a gun zealot who supported the massacre of majestic wolves and their pups as a means to placate inhumane hunters who wanted to kill more moose and caribous. Palin also opposed placing polar bears on the endangered species list. I noticed that a couch at her home is decorated with a dead bear. What a nightmarish human being.

The leftists' comments help us to understand their political IQ...

In essense,they ask the Reps to endorse...leftist ideology...

They don't elaborate on the issue of crucial transient voters,the 5 % who make or break a President.

That is good for Rove & Reps.

If they manage to attract the transient vote,they may make Obama the black Carter...

With apologies to Mr. Rove, the election was lost because the republican contender came across as confused, befuddled, and erratic. He was unable to articulate any kind of vision with respect to either foreign policy or a way out of the economic morass we presently face. Like it or not, elegance, bearing and enthusiasm are attractive qualities in a leader and Mr. McCain projected none of these. As for the congressional contest, given all the givens in our present circumstance, the republicans should have been crushed rather than just seriously wounded. That they were not is proof that it wasn't policy that lost the election, it was ineptitude. As for me who generally leans republican, I did not and could not vote for McCain, I did, however, vote for Palin who appeared to me to have the right stuff. Where has all that knowledge, experience and wisdom on Wall Street and in D.C. gotten us? Maybe it's time for someone who doesn't have "too much" experience but who is a quick study, strong, persuasive, and confident to take over. Maybe that's why Obama got elected Mr. Rove.

Karl needs to stay with FOX noise where he fits right in with the other misfits. As long as the Republican party clings to the need for "social values" as a political goal, it should be doomed to fail. Keep that stuff in the churches where it belongs, and deal with the issues that affect people's every day lives. Frankly, I hope the party heeds your advice because it is doomed to continued irrelevance if it does.

Carl Rove the Republicans way back to a majority or even a player in politics is to get rid of people like you. Your party at your direction became the party of liars, hacks and criminals. You need to take your money and get out of politics, unless you like the Democrats and want them to keep winning. Your style of politics was good for the short term but you can only lie to the American public so long. The Republicans need an honest and intelligent leader.

Karl Rove ia dangerous to the United States of America and Democracy.
His devious plotting will ultimately destroy Democracy and this country.
This is a middle of the road country looking after the well being of the middle, the left and the right.
The only consideration should be what is GOOD FOR ALL, 100% of the time.
Everyone in PUBLIC OFFICE, MUST REPRESENT ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME!

"You can buy auto insurance from anywhere in America, even from a lizard, so why not health insurance?"

You can get a snow job from any right-wing policitican, even a snake, so why not from Rove?

If the republican party wants to re-invent itself, the first thing it needs to do is severe its ties from Karl Machiavelli Rove, who is still advocating evangelical "values" that are not mainstream as a way to intimidate others who believe differently, and who is still advocating unethical gerrymandering of congressional districts for the sole purpose of disenfranchising anyone who doesn't look and think like Karl Rove.
