4. As much as I loathe Rahm, Rove is worse by far. Look what he did to Don Siegelman.

5. Both seem intent on destroying their respective parties.

7. Rahm Emmanuel is a fucking amateur compared to Rove
Rove's ideas about political strategy are far superior to Rahm's. Unlike Rahm, Rove actually has a (albeit shitty and evil) political ideology and tried to use the government to force it on everyone.

9. I think Rahm is Roves 'Quatto'



There is no "worse", there is only "why". Translation: They both suck.

Fuck 'em both.

14. Rove masterfully perpetuated and bolstered the myths of patriotism (as militant nationalism),
a singularly "Christian America", anti-intellectualism, anti-liberalism, corporatism, and greed as a virtues that allowed a "look at my macho truck" "watch me stop health-care reform" "the people's seat" "independent" teabaggers to replace Ted Kennedy, that allowed Bush to push through his far right wing, neo-fascist agenda with ease, and that allows the "Obama should have fixed everything by now" attitude, and/or the "Obama is an arrogant, Anti-American, socialist, Hitler wannabe who has dragged down and sold out our country to the point where armed revolution is necessary" belief to prosper.

Rove moved the middle to the right. Rahm may be bad, but he's a rank amateur next to Rove.

21. Very constructive way to disagree.
Look at the pose in the pictures I posted. These men are arrogant and in love with the extremely powerful positions of influence they got into without being elected. Their attitude toward the average person is "I got mine, fuck you". There is nothing worth defending.
