Karl Rove Snaps Back at Sarah Palin: ‘If I Did Run for Office & Win, I Would Serve Out My Term’
AP
Karl Rove isn’t taking too kindly to Sarah Palin’s criticism.
After the former Alaska governor took a not-so-veiled shot at establishment “experts who keep losing elections yet keep getting rehired” in her speech to conservative activists Saturday, Republican strategist Rove said Palin should agree with him in his quest to find more “electable” GOP candidates.
“First of all I live in Texas, I don’t live in Washington,” Rove said on “Fox News Sunday.” “Second of all, look — Sarah Palin should be agreeing with this. She didn’t support [Missouri Senate candidate] Todd Akin and when he said the reprehensible things he said, she wisely came out and said he should get out of the race.”
Rove, whose American Crossroads super PAC spent millions during the 2012 campaign yet achieved just one election night success, also dismissed Palin’s advice to either “buck up” or run himself — by bringing up her resigning the Alaska governorship.
“I appreciate her encouragement that I ought to go home to Texas and run for office. I would be enthused if I ran for office to have her support… I don’t think I’m a particularly good candidate, sort of a balding fat guy. Second of all, if I did run for office and win I would serve out my term and I wouldn’t leave office midterm,” Rove said, eliciting momentarily stunned silence from the rest of the Fox News panel.

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 12:34pmPersonally, I am done with Rove AND Palin!
I like both people, but think it is time for both to just move along. Rove is establishment and while Palin wants to be the tea party darling she is an establishment wannabe also. I fall short at calling either a RINO…That name is reserved for McCain and his ilk…They ARE old school Republican and it is time for a changing of the guard.

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 12:43pmwell rove says that, but does he have democrats buying property next to him, so they can take pictures of him all day, or go thru his mail/ trash, or how about go into the personal emails of sarah palin… when democrats do that to ROVE, then he can decide if palin made the right choice, to leave her job, becuase democrats made it impossible for her to produce results, and ducked out for someone to get the job done…
its funny when rove blames palin, for making the correct choice for her state, when democrats are intentionally trying to bury palin in lies and misinformatyion,… thats why democrats were going trru her emails… and rove should STFU… and quit dividing the party, when he SHOULD BE DEFENDING PALIN, FROM THE BIGGOTED ATTACKS AND STALKING comming from the democratic party

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 1:39pmCarl Rove was responsible for handing a certain couple of states over to dem control, oregon was one.
He is a smart guy for the most part but he played this like a war zone and wrote off many conservatives as collateral damage. The damage he did is bigger than he thinks. I really think he was surprised that the most corrupt administration in history was re elected. He played a major role in that.
Once again the silent conservative majority did not cast ballots in THAT race. Belt way insiders do not understand the power of the under vote and what causes it. They continually take principled conservatives for granted. This makes you have to choose between a Chicago gang banger or a weak political leader who would keep business as usual.
People like rove do not understand many vote the bottom of a ballot.
I really believe he thought that wouldn’t happen in this election.

Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall,

couldn’t put the RNC back together again !
In the words of Maxine Walters, Rove, you “can go to hell !
Unlike OUR Sarah, this EGGhead has outstayed his welcome.
He was basking in Romney’s win right up to the end.
Fox News should have FIRED his self-righteous azz !
The ONLY one who was skeptical about the outcome
& had the balls to say so was Lil’ Frankie Luntz-
even when know-nothings disparaged him on the radio & the media.
The Liberal slime is manifesting into one big sinkhole,
undeterred to get real, as they watch America slide into it.
The Repubs & Rove want to control the political curtain-
let them talk amongst themselves on stage…in EMPTY halls.
They were perfectly fine to let Romney go after
Gingrich & all the other nominees
but once they had their man in place-
they helped him piss away an election win.
Rove & the RNC are DONE-
Oblameo doesn’t have to finish them off-
they have accomplished THAT all by their wee willie lonesome.
Time to RISE up ALL the way,
Time to follow our FOUNDERS-
TIME for a NEW grassroots Party.
Tea Party, Indies, Conserves, Mod-Dems, Libertarians-
every American citizen who has had ENOUGH !
A New Party is EXACTLY what the RNC & DNC fear.
The clear, logical, patriotic voices
of Palin, Paul, West, Ryan, Carson, Walker, Scott
echo that of freedom-loving Americans.

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 5:24pmThe account of history and an accurate portrayal of the facts rarely meets up with some your mouths. If you’d use your brains for something more than a place to park your stupidity you might learn something.
According to ACTUAL REPORTS ON THE SUBJECT:
“Filing ethics complaints against Gov. Sarah Palin (R) had become the favorite sport in Alaska among those with a liberal agenda. The complaints were largely frivolous and exacted a heavy price tag for the Palin family with legal bills amounting to $500,000. One of the reasons Palin gave for her surprise resignation was the cost to the State’s taxpayers and to her family from the complaints. Every one of the complaints has been dismissed.
The governor, her family at her side, emphasized she has been the target of 15 ethics complaints by political opponents – all dismissed – at a cost of $2 million to the state and more than $500,000 to her family.
“And the people who offer up these silly accusations? It doesn’t cost them a dime, so they’re not going to stop draining public resources – spending other people’s money in their game,” she said.
“It’s pretty insane – my staff and I spend most of our day dealing with this instead of progressing our state now.”
Palin anticipated her decision would be questioned.
Have any of you have $500,000 to blow brain hards?

What the hell is wrong with Republicans? Can’t we just get along???? Seeing all those young people representing us at CPAC made me proud, if we can just get some of the worn out people to quit and let these young leaders finally LEAD us instead of what the oldtimers have been doing for YEARS & years dragging our party into oblivion and doing NOTHING for us, just gutless wonders.

But you guy’s did’t wanna here it. We had Perry, Bachman, Santurium, and Cain. But you couldn’t
abide somebody with a conservative social policy. So you all picked Romney, anybody with two eyes and a brain stem could have told you that Romney was a progressive. When given a choice most dumb azzed voters will choose the charismatic demagogic black candidate over white wonder bread and that what we got in Romney. So all this bichin’ sounds like sour grapes to me. Don’t get me wrong, Rove is a a unprincipled, RINO, progressive, establishment goonbah. But if you want to get
your elections won again your gonna have to bite the bullet, and turn right on social issues. I know you libatards are going to fight me tooth and nail, but the fact is he ran as a social moderate and still lost, as a matter of fact he ran on the economy and STILL lost.
As for me and my house, if the republicans put up an HONEST conservative I will vote for him.(or her.)
Otherwise, if get get Christy I’m either voting for third party or I’m sitting this one out.

Rove’s mindset reminds me of the mindset the RIAA (music Industry) had 10 years ago. Remember they would sue thousands of people for allegedly stealing music instead of coming up with innovative ideas to make downloading music legal and keep their royalties. It took private industry (Apple) to do it and they made a fortune doing so. The Music Industry is still peeved that Apple “took” their power, but I argue that they freely gave it up because they tried to hold onto power and the old way. By refusing to change, society moved on and the IRAA got left behind.
I see this with Rove. He is desperately trying to hold onto the establishment at all costs, refusing to change, going negative, and hopeful soon with be left behind. Beware: A desperate man will try to destroy anyone and everyone he sees as a threat, even fellow conservatives, before he falls.

People weren’t voting for McCain, and why the GOP couldn’t see that is beyond me. The only thing I can figure out was that she wasn’t old guard/beltway Republican enough for them.
This past election, Karl really exposed his agenda. I will NEVER listen to klown Karl again.

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 5:28pmBaldwin makes some very good points. IMHO, the problem with any conservative party are the one dimensionals. We cannot fix the country if the social minded want to force their agenda on the party. Leave abortion as pro-choice, the choice is the woman’s, or at the state level, and no government funding either way. If gays want to be gays, let them as long as they mind their own business and stop looking for “special rights”. The idea that someone who holds to the constitution, but doesn’t accept someone’s agenda is not valid, will keep the communists in control. The communists laugh at us as they watch this division keep them in the majority.

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 12:14pmRove is such a creep. Where was he and his Republican buddies while Sarah Palin was being sued into bankruptcy by progressive plants after the failed McCain attempt at the Presidency? Where were they when she was vilified, attacked repeatedly by the MSM, her children attacked and all of the Palin’s used as fodder for the so-called comedians? While absolute filth was said about them?
Why didn’t Rove or any of the R elites come to her defense when obvious lies were told about Sarah? Rove was nowhere to be found on the honesty circuit. He was just happy that she was the target not him and now he perpetuates the lie of why Sarah resigned just like the his progressive buddies do.
Rove has had his feelings hurt, his ego bruised, his RINO halo knocked askew by Sarah Palin, one of the very, very few people who are willing to speak the truth and hurt feelings of self important people be damned.
God bless the truth tellers. God bless Sarah Palin.

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 1:04pm@Momrules,…..You’re absolutely right about the untold reasons Palin resigned her governorship. Because of the multitude of juvenile, unfounded lawsuits perpetrated by the filthy progressives, she decided to resign rather than put the Alaska citizens and taxpayers through the wringer. The Alaska taxpayers would have had to pay the defense bill and Palin was stand-up in her response.
On another note, one you probably won’t agree with, but true, Todd Akin, mentioned in this article, was absolutely correct in what he said about conception during rape (in many cases). Shown to be true in earlier scientific studies compiled in a book by Masters and Johnson. Look it up. What he said, however, was completely uncalled for and without doubt, ill advised., true or not. Also, to argue with Akin’s use of the word “legitimate” is to argue with your own intelligence. These final thoughts are not directed toward @Momrules but if the shoe fits,…………………………..

Rove is finished, politically. Dick Morris if finished, politically. They convinced us that “moderate” was the way to go. BULLS**T. We need a hardcore right-wing to bring the country back to the real center. This left-wing fascism is going to be the end of America.
It’s time for a Ted Cruz to start running things, with a Ben Carson to assist in getting people to pick themselves up out of the gutter.

The Paul in question is Rand, not Ron. “Wacko bird” is what McCain called pro-liberty republicans like Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.
Where do you stand? Are you a wacko bird or are you covered in moss?

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 12:09pmthat is worse than Marco Rubio not reading bills and voting yes, atleast he is doing his job but a very bad job of it. Palin is a quitter and has no right to run for an office tougher than what she quit.

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 12:52pmKinda’ like when your first favorate career politician railed against the NDAA but couldn’t take the time to vote on it cuz’ he was too busy that day stumping. Or when he quit the Republican Party…. then came crawling back because he couldn’t make it without the Pelosi-Reid-like rubes in his district.

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 12:07pmHow many times must it be said. What Sarah did by resigning was right for the people of Alaska, the people who elected her to serve them. It may not have been right for her personally.
Again, because of a few slanderous, evil people, who were proved wrong, Sarah was left with a simple choice, resign — and save the people of Alaska millions of dollars and allow them a governor who could actually focus on their job, or continue to waste everyones time and money for her own well-being. She chose the path of a truth self-less servant.
One day she’ll bring that spirit to the White House, you betcha.

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 12:07pmIt’s interesting watching a man who at this time symbolizes the Eiite and the power brokers of the GOP, the very heart of power within the organization, not be invited to speak at CPAC. The organization he claims to represent.
Instead he throws darts at Sarah Palin, a woman he claims is a has-been populist.

——————————————————————————————————
Is this not a subjective opinion? Better from whose standpoint? A liberal would probably believe Paul is better than Romney. A blue dog would most likely choose Romney. A conservative would choose Romney. A Libertarian…Paul of course…So are you going to distrust everyone that sees the world differently than you do? Because that is all this Ron Paul Libertarian fanaticism amounts to…And also the reason why these folks will never gain much traction with everyone else.

Yea you can disagree with ron paul, but if someone in the media agrees with someone like Romney more than Ron Paul, then they should not be trusted. The reasons should be obvious. The republican party will remain a tool of progressives until this dynamic changes

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 2:16pmBoth parties are a tool of the progressives and the general population of this country has their collective head buried in the sand and they are never likely to remove it. Meanwhile, the Ron Paul faction of the Libertarian party have made everyone the enemy and have thus alienated the entire population of the US. We have Republican fighting Republican over the stupidest of issues and no one across the entire political spectrum is willing to compromise, the very principle THIS COUNTRY IS FOUNDED ON! Meanwhile, the press, the colleges, and the public schools are now run by socialist liberals.
What more can be said? If it weren’t so damn tragic it would be the most hilarious time period in history! Well, maybe second after the decline of the Roman Empire…

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 3:36pmRomney agreed more with obama than he did with Paul. RJJ. I’m disappointed, why would you want to bash Paul? Like him or not Paul calls it like he sees it and he has a fairly good tract record. Much better than romney ot rove. If Paul had been nominated he would have drawn clearer lines between obama and himself.

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 5:43pmPaul failed because he was not able to articulate his position accurately. E.G., everyone believed that he wanted to dismantle the military. His position was not to dismantle but to have a strong defense which does not take 100s of bases around the world. Most all his positions were demagogued and he did not clarify what he was saying. He always reacted with a crazy over exaggeration.

I disagree. Ron Paul was perfectly clear in the debates that he wanted to eliminate the foreign interventions and close some of the cold war era bases in europe and japan. You are right the conservative media demagoged him and the average republican voter who did not watch debates was clueless. There is also an element of ‘shoot the messenger’, which is why many people who hate ron paul really like rand paul

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 1:28pmThe reason for Romney’s loss was not so much the 47% remark, as it was the 47% who would have voted for O no matter what he said or did. And also at fault were the conservatives who stayed home and Romney’s failure to attack O on Benghazi in the third debate.

There was also about 44% who were going to vote for Romney no matter what – do you criticize them too?
Romney was wrong because he was basically saying the bottom 47% are all obama supporters….Which was not the case

And more people DECIDED to waste their GOD GIVEN RIGHTS TO CHOOSE and allowed OTHERS to choose FOR them. Sara Palin was INVITED to enter the national arena by John McCain who was supported by by the establishment. Not a damn thing wrong with either Karl Rove or Sara Palin. Both embody the complete opposite of the most fanatical group EVER chosen AND both have raised more money to promote our candidates.

Posted on March 17, 2013 at 12:38pmSight correction MANDORS, Palin never lost at the top of her ticket nor had Ryan in a heavy Democrat district. Only the top of the ticket RINO’s that picked them lost. ROVE won by the skin of his teeth in both of 43′s elections. I’m disappointed Fox didn’t have a more balanced panel with at least one well known and elected Tea Party representative instead of a “Establishment” RINO a NeoCon or Son of a NeoCon, two liberals and Mike Wallace, a center Left guy, slanting the conversation away from the Conservative wins over the last three weeks. Palin was more correct in her speech than wrong based on Rove’s intentional misrepresentation of why she resigned in her second term. Rove along with Dick Morris “BLEW” the election results with their pre-election assessments. Rove was the loser including 90+% of the candidates he supported.
P.S. JERRYWALTERS your dreaming. Conservatism is winning every… time it’s been tried.
