Posted on September 15, 2010 at 2:08pmReally disappointed to hear Mr. Rove make those statements about O’Donnell. That’s the negative aspect of his (Rove’s) appearance on Hannity last night. The positive side of that is it’s nice to see where he stands when the gloves come off.

Posted on September 15, 2010 at 2:30pmAgreed, now we see Rove’s true colors (if you hadn’t seen them yet). He is for the numbers game, that is all he cares about. He doesn’t care about what we want, only what it takes to get power back.
This is a huge red flag for all of the true conservatives out there, the establishment will not allow you to stand up and make a real change in government. Rove is part of the establishment, the proof is in the Puddin.

Racebaiting is so old even the Rangel doesn’t use it anymore (well kinda does but you get my drift, no?)
Does anyone really believe the crap that you regurgitate? I mean anyone with two brain cells to rub together and spark a moment of awareness? No matter what hate you spew I would welcome you to drop the party line demagoguery and engage in a debate of the issues.
I have read several of your one liners and trite posts but I would like to hear what you really believe, not just your smarmy soundbite packaged for this web site as though George Soros himself might read something you post and snatch you from obscurity to enable you to share your brilliance with the rest of mankind.
I really want to know what your personal ideology is and how you would prefer the country move forward. I know mine has changed as I have raised my children and am sending them off to college so I am not one to just lump you in with a group of communists and claim you all want to destroy the country I love but barring you actually posting anything original or truthful it seems that you are just here to feel as though you are in some way supporting the progressive agenda by thinking that you are making some headway in changing opinions here or getting others riled up and focused on you instead of the cliff that is approaching.
How about engaging in an open dialogue and espouse your own personal views and beliefs and why it is that you believe those things. Our country has become so scared to discuss politics for fear of offending someone that we are losing the ability to organinze thoughts and share why it is that we believe those things.

Posted on September 15, 2010 at 1:55pmCarl Rove is more of a RINO conservationist than a true conservative. This is proof positive that his priorities are 1. Dubya’s and his legacy. 2. The established GOP hierarchy. I guess the constitution, the people and conservative principles fall somewhere further down on the list. How utterly disappointing yet not very surprising.

Oh, puhleeze! Let’s get real, I don’t think the current group in Washington are overall people to be admired for the ethics or financial dealings. People who live in glass houses shouldn‘t be throwing stones at O’Donnell. Listen, Karl, you too can hear the people speaking if you just pay attention. Mr. Rove, try to keep a healthy attitude about the hypocrisy of the people you surround yourself with in Washington.
