Karl Rove: GOP will be 'in charge for a generation'....

[formerrepuke]

Speaking to a group of supporters in Ohio yesterday...

Rove's blueprint for winning elections still emphasizes traditional values, education, low taxes and a word he stressed Monday - compassion.

"We defend time-tested values," Rove said, adding that the Republican Party is determined to reform and update 20th century programs such as Social Security that will be confronted by demographic upheavals in the decades ahead.

....Don't count on it, fatso....

1. That's called hubris.

It's considered a tragic flaw in literary characters. Real life characters too.

[Jo March]

2. They own the voting machines

So they may very well be right.

[DELUSIONAL]

26. This was also my response to this thread's headline

In the last election they also had access to the central tabulators -- and they could change the vote totals at will. It just takes a few extra votes here and there and magic the GOPigs win.

[LittleClarkie]

27. But how much more will the American people be able to take

That's my question.

[Jo March]

39. Until we hit the streets, you mean?

I don't know. I think that a lot of people are mad. I know many folks who are angry enough to march but feel as though no one else is as mad.

People who express anger to me usually get a list of sites, such as this one, that I recommend to them. I am trying to convey that they are not alone.

DU has been a lifesaver to me. I know that there are other folks like me who are angry and ready to march and take back the country from Diebold.

We just have to link these folks in to the internets and also through meetups and such.

I think that a march is in order - the sooner, the better. A march so big that not even the corporate media can ignore it.

3. And the Third Reich was going to last for a thousand years

Heh, heh.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Well, Karl, guess I'll be moving on out of your fascist country.

[iconoclastNYC]

5. Hilter: A thousand year Reich n/t

[UCLA Dem]

6. We'll just see about that.

[burn the bush]

34. Rove wouldn't be there right now if shrubco wasn't going down. They are

afraid. They know that we are coming and we won't stop til they are gone.

The worm has turned.

Shrubco IS going down.

[AFSCME girl]

7. Hey KKKarl....

Go Cheney yourself! :mad:

8. Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

9. Or at least until the trials. LOL n/t

[Dinger]

10. He Is In Denial, And Is Not Nearly As Slick As He Thinks He Is

[Spinzonner]

11. You know, the stuff he says in public

is just calculated to irritate Democrats

What he really thinks stays behind closed doors

[antonialee839]

14. Just looking at that little grease ball

irks me.

[Botany]

12. Karl I live for the day you are caught .......

..... you have lived in shit, talked shit, eaten shit, and spread shit for
years ........ someday that shit will catch up to you.

Remember your dirty tricks mentor?, Lee Atwater? He died with
a brain tumor screaming in pain and begging Mike Dukais to forgive him.
Mike did.

I for one will ever have a hard time forgiving you. A good days work
would kill you.

Tell me again about Miami County, Ohio where they had precincts w/
99.7% turn outs. And the extra 20,000 votes that came in after the
voting was over @ exactly the same ratio as the earlier vote.

People know the truth Karl.

[demgrrrll]

28. I know. I would actually fly out to DC to stand in front of his house

while they hauled his sorry ass away. I mean it. I would pay for a ticket just to have a ring side seat as they perp walk him out of his house or his office. I would jeer and cat call and get a big ole lawn chair and a thermos full of ice tea and have myself a high heeled time.

[Botany]

32. You mean the house that Jeff Gannon knew about a .....

..... demonstration in front of even before the story hit the press?

I want to see that fat pig down.

[rockymountaindem]

13. I think so too.

Fortunately for me, I'll outlive this generation. By the time the "next generation" rolls around, I'll only be 35-40 years old, which, coincidently, is the perfect age for new politicians to start running for office ;)

Unfortunately, I think we're stuck with a Republican majority until then. I don't see anything that's going to change it.

[colonel odis]

15. just a reminder of his talents -- before bush, he tried to

get lamar! alexander elected.

[KaliTracy]

16. protesters were there to greet him, albiet FEW (where was everyone?)

though there were more than 12 (as stated in this report in the Cincinnati Enquirer)

http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050503/NEWS01/505030366

I really thought more would be out to protest, since there were places to park and places to stand. People were there from about 4:30 to 6:00 -- everyday drivers occassionally honked. Most of the people attending just shook their heads.

[Kolesar]

17. They won ohio with a complicit media...eom

[Nite Owl]

18. Does the Diebold contract

run out then?

[Contrary1]

19. "Speaking to a group of supporters in Ohio yesterday..."

None of these idiots can face anyone that might disagree with them, and he's just telling them what they want to hear.
They no doubt paid $1000+ dollars each to listen to Turd Blossom run off at the mouth, and dine on "Texas" barbecue.

He has to keep the illusion alive, or it would become more difficult to part the fools and their

[KaliTracy]

20. actually, they got a deal, it was a $60 dollar a plate meal. They had

written the White House to send "someone" to speak to their Lincoln Dinner fundraiser -- the $ for the meal was already decided. The White House sent Karl -- no doubt as a "thank you" payoff....

[Stephanie]

21. Let's subpoena all WH records where Gannon/Guckert met with Rove

Can we figure out a way to do that? We need phone records, notes of meetings, etc. And for all those days when Gannon/Guckert checked into the WH and did not check out, let's see Rove's entrance/exit records as well. Rove has a military fetish, right? He's always dressing Bush up in those military outfits.

[ComerPerro]

22. That's the plan. Its the reason 9/11 happened

To estabilsh Republican dominace so they could make a desperate power grab and hold it for as long as possible

[CBHagman]

23. Fiscally they can't sustain what they're doing.

I don't know about the gullibility of the average American voter. I know quite a bit about the ruthlessness of the current GOP leadership, including Rove.

However, given the deficits, debt and demographics, Bush, Rove and company could face a perfect storm of economic problems that could make the last 30 years look like a day at the beach.

[Lerkfish]

24. keep it up, pig man. pride goeth before a fall.

[ZootSuitGringo]

25. I know what it is.

It's a talking piece of shit stuck to my shoe.

Just found a stick to scrape it off, and I recommend it to all Americans.

[Junkdrawer]

29. His job isn't to "win" elections...

His job is to make it seem "plausible" his candidates "won" elections.

[pgh_dem]

30. DING DING DING!

[tom_paine]

31. He knows they own the "voting" machines, and the Cowardly Whore Press

So he knows of which he speaks.

It matrters NOTHING who the Imperial Subjects of Amerika "vote" for, the Busheviks will "win".

[Crunchy Frog]

33. The way DU is looking right now,

that wouldn't surprise me at all.:eyes:

[leesa]

35. Wrong KKKarl. You are witnessing it's death knell

[OnionPatch]

36. Dream On, Karl

You'll be going down in history as the manager of the lowest politics ever witnessed in the United States. In fact, I'm guessing in 10-20 years or so, the expression "Rovian" will be a household word for conniving, misleading and double-speak. The Bush administration years will be viewed as the time when America lost its mind, much like the Hitler era in Germany. I hope you're proud of your accomplishments.

[Fire Walk With Me]

37. "Words without works, and it works like a charm..."

"Rove's blueprint for winning elections still emphasizes traditional values, education, low taxes and a word he stressed Monday - compassion."

Odd how _saying_ "compassion" brings compassion to mind, yet when I look at the person saying it, quite the opposite fills my sight.

If he's compassionate, if they're compassionate, I'm Elmer Fudd. I own a mansion and a yacht.

I've been reading Bhuddist literature, and the misappropriation of the word is even sillier.

When will we be able to take these words away from them?

[earth mom]

38. Reading this scares

the heck out of me! :scared:

I'm so glad that so many posted on this thread that it's not gonna happen-it gives me hope!

[Stand and Fight]

44. I, for one, will not rest until the wrongs are righted.

I will do everything within my power to procure whatever it takes to see these bastards removed from power.

[BornaDem]

40. Total B.S.

[jmowreader]

41. So tell me, what is he SUPPOSED to say?

The speech that's the truth: "Guys, we are so fucked. Everyone knows the shit we've been pulling over the last eight years. They know there's no WMD. They know Osama and Saddam are not interrelated. They know there's a map of Iraq in Vice President Cheney's oil policy document, and they know the state of the economy. If you want to be represented by a Republican in 2011, start shopping for houses in Idaho now."

No, no. These people paid sixty Yankee dollars to eat a five-dollar meal. Why spoil their dinner? Let them have their little fantasy for now. In 2007, when we've got 60 seats in the Senate, a majority in the House and nine Republican senators pissed off enough at the BFEE to cross party lines during the impeachment hearing, the reality bat's gonna whack them in the back of the head real hard.

42. KICK - beautiful!

[Stand and Fight]

43. Not if I can help it you fat bastard. n/t
