1. Karl is spending time with his family, and mourning the loss of all those e-mails.

2. who cares?
and why should we care? rove isn't even a good strategist. His permanent repuke majority is in smitereens, and his prognostications about 2006 were sheer comedy.

4. Very true but isn't he still capable of attempting
to muddy the waters with a view to helping the Rethugs?

3. If Karl Rove is supporting a Democrat
Then it is unwelcome support that the Democrat does not want.


Certainly that the Democrat does not want to be made public.

5. Just turn on your television, listen to your radio, or read your newspaper.
Who are they talking about? Barack and Hillary, Hillary and Barack.

Both are taking lobbyist money from the very corporations that are profiting the most from today's climate in America. Outsourcing, high presription drug costs, high bank fees, high gas prices...blood money, in short.

The media is shoving Barack and Hillary down our throats, as if there isn't another choice. But there is: John Edwards. And he's being ignored. Why? Because they fear him, he isn't taking their blood money. He will bring about real change, not just talk about it.

All of those who have jumped on the Barack and Hillary band wagon are drinking the Kool-Aid and they don't even realize it. Follow the money and see where it leads. How can you make change when that very change will go against the financial profits of your biggest donors?

Think about it.

6. I have already predicted that Edwards is going to
be the next president. I study politics and note that Edwards is the first candidate they attacked from very early.

You are correct - they are afraid of Edwards.

Please note that I have no horse in this race since Gore was my candidate.
Edwards supporters need to expose the costs of David Gregory's Prada boots, Tweety and Russert's hair and make up and the cost of all the bimbos posing as TV experts homes, clothes, etc. Then let them attack Edwards' haircut.

They also need to tear down the special interests attacks on lawyers who defend those hurt by these corporate criminals.

Union supporters need to produce videos about worker injuries, etc.
They also need to illustrate why people pay taxes in terms of the common good - show those collapsed bridges, expose all the neglect of citizens presented by people who want to govern but hate government.

7. That won't work.
Tweety, Russert et al, aren't running for President on a populist anti-corporate platform, so the comparion is pointless. And they won't go for the haircut. They'll do a contrast between words and deeds thing if Edwards in the nominee. However, that's extremely unlikely unless Edwards pulls off a miracle and comes in ahead of Clinton and within 5 pts of Obama tomorrow. If he comes in third, there's virtually no way he can win the nomination short of dead girls and live boys in his opponents' beds.

8. Rove Is Irrelevant
You'd think this shitpile had some magical powers over elections. Breaking News: Rove is Done. Not only is this slimebag back in Texas hoping a server doesn't knock on his door with yet another subpoena, but nobody even talks about him. No, he's not involved in any campaign...especially any Democrat as he's always been a one-trick pony...working for the booooosh cabal. His gig these days is to fatten his wallet on the right wing corporate welfare circuit and bury as many booooosh bodies as he can.

Honestly...what campaign...even Repugnican...would want the alabtross of negative publicity that Rove envokes now. Many repugnicans have woken up to how this scumbag has destroyed their party...note the Huckster rebellion.

:hi:

9. He's too busy trying to think of ways to get Romney in and Huckabee out, methinks.
He can only fuck up one campaign at a time.

He really isn't that smart or W's ratings would be at least 5 points higher right now.

10. I don't know about Rove, but I think the repukes are afraid of all the Dem candidates.
