"Nice try, Herr Rove" SUPERB!!! Doug Basham SLAMS Rove!
On Wednesday evening, at a fund-raiser in Midtown for the Conservative Party of New York State, Bush's brain, Karl Rove uttered the following… "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers." He went on to say, "Has there ever been a more revealing moment this year? Let me just put this in fairly simple terms: Al-Jazeera now broadcasts the words of Senator Durbin to the Mideast, certainly putting our troops in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals."

<snip>

How dare this smarmy, equally follically and ethically challenged Rove worm make a statement like that?

<snip>

Republicans like to paint themselves as the "morals and values - accept responsibility" crowd. Quite frankly, I am sick to death of not only their inability to ever demonstrate any of their alleged flagship attributes themselves, I am equally fed up with their lack of being exposed for the flaming hypocrites they are.

Our troops are in harm's way because they were sent into a war that was predicated on nothing but lies. Period. Long before Al-Jazeera broadcast Durbin's words, they broadcast the fact that Iraq had been illegally attacked for no fathomable reason. Long before they broadcast Durbin's words, they broadcast George W. Bush's idiotic "Bring 'em on" abomination. I'm willing to bet there have been several occasions whereby Al-Jazeera has broadcast reports wherein regular Iraqi citizens resisting the occupation and rape of their country and its natural resources have been referred to as "terrorists." There have been many more memorable broadcasts to be sure, but I would submit just one of these three have put our men in far more jeopardy than anything Dick Durbin said.

One last thing, Karl. We absolutely loved the sexual smoke screen you tried. Unfortunately, even your new found alliance with porn star, air head and recent republican convert, Mary Carrey, wasn't enough to sway the American people from what they are increasingly learning is the truth about you, your boy, your party, and your sinful, anti-Christian, criminal policies, both abroad and here at home. And just for curiosity sake, what'd you call that one, Karl? "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with boobs?"

Nice try, Herr Rove. Unfortunately for you however, the American public is starting to awaken to the fact that the real boobs are in the White House.

PS mods; I have Doug's permission to post more than the standard 4 paras.

7. Associated Press; Porn Star Carey Attends GOP Fundraiser
Edited on Mon Jun-27-05 05:38 AM by LynnTheDem
Blond porn star, political candidate. And now you can add one more line to Mary Carey's resume: Republican booster.

Carey was in Washington Tuesday to attend the President's Dinner, an annual fundraiser put on by the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

A few hours before the dinner, Carey met with reporters to show off her evening gown and talk about a Republican lunch she and her boss, adult film executive Mark Kulkis, attended.

Anyone expecting her to cause a scene with her attire at the President's Dinner might be disappointed. She was wearing a black, floor-length gown. The only color added to the outfit was her red, white and blue Republican elephant lapel pin and similarly patriotic fingernails.

22. Now that's funny.... thanks a million... or as we say at Halliburton
"thanks a billion, or two, or three".... heh heh heh.....

I wonder when someone is going to make a strategy game where you have to bomb people who don't kiss your arse and take over the natural resources of the middle east. I think it's about time someone did... or perhaps a reality show based on the same theme....

It could affectionately be called... Fossil Fuel Survivor..... heh heh heh....

2. Darth Cheney:"But you see..It doesn't matter. Liberals are weak peasants."
"I'm the ultimate terra-rist superman, and those good for nothings don't know anything. Even though I organized the most genocidal war in history and topped Germany."

Cheney hired Rove to spout his conscience! :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :think: :puffpiece:

5. Yep.
I agree. That last statement of his ranks with the most obscene and outrageous lies in the history of politics. And he is proud of that.

6. unfortunately America doesn't know/care about who
Edited on Mon Jun-27-05 05:33 AM by truth_is_extreme
Doug Basham is. It would take a high profile Democrat for these words to have any importance at all, but it's hard to find Democrats with real courage or who are not as corrupt as Bush himself is.

12. Kick.
Rove is succinctly called on his devious tactics to control *, Congress, the country, and perhaps the world. He is a classic pot-stirrer, i.e., he starts a controversy surreptiously and then returns to the background and lets others finish the job. Classic manipulator.

I maintain dems form alliances with independents and individual republicans to go after Rove, ignoring * (what's the difference, really), because HE'S NOT going away after 2008. He'll pick a new "Eliza" to his demented Henry Higgins and control that person to the WH and we'll have the same problems. And we can't wait another day.

14. I saw an interview with Carey... she said she had been a Republican for 4
days... and they paid 5,000 to become their local repesenatives from Cali.

All it takes is the cash!!

He said they were charging 2,500 to have your picture taken with shrub.

19. Hey, Bush is uniting the whole world...
...against him.

But that's just semantics.

However you look at it, he's a uniter. :sarcasm:
