Rove: Obama won by "suppresing the vote"

[pbrower2a]

Projecting much, Karl? 

That is about all that he does.

[Ljube]

I think that Karl Rove should retire and that the Republican Party should have a new strategist, younger, more modern, one who can counter the Obama microtargeting strategy that won him the election.

"Why can't the Republicans do better with people of color?" she asked her guests.

Not referring to African-Americans as "people of color" couldn't hurt

People of color includes the browns, reds, and yellows as well as the blacks.  Altho isn't white a color?

Rove, just kill yourself? Please?

It was sort of funny to watch Karl Rove melt down on Fox that night. Made me feel a tad better.

Alright is it time to call BS on all the pundits?  All we heard for YEARS is "Bush's brain."  All Rove was was lucky.  Had Bill Clinton smoked his cigar instead of doing weird sh-t with it Bush would never have been elected.  We kept hearing what a genius Rove is.  Turns out he was in the right place at the right time and just didn't F'up too bad.  Now this go around while Obama was putting together the craziest ground game this country has ever seen Rove's strategy was to buy half a billion dollars worth of TV ads.  Unbelievable.  I could have done that.

What pisses me off about this is Karl Rove walks away with literally MILLIONS for doing nothing.  Actually he didn't do nothing he actually burned money that could have been used for something useful.  But yet somehow Karl Rove is better than a single mother living on welfare.  How does that make any sense?  50 single mothers on welfare wouldn't waste as much money as Karl Rove but he is a glorious small business owner and a single mother is scum of the earth.  How does that make any sense?

And it's not just Karl.  What about all the TV pundits on the left and the right?  They get paid six figures to tell us how amazing Rove is for years.  They were 100% wrong.  We would have done better without them.  So are they better than single mothers living on welfare?  When are we going to wake up and realize a swindled six or seven figure paycheck does not make you a glorious "small business" owner that we should worship!

The fact of the matter is our society is full of self important leeches who tell us how critical their work is for our society while they talk about all the single mother's getting welfare checks.  It makes me sick.

Karl Rove: making Dick Morris reasonable by comparison.

I'm somewhat pleasantly surprised to see that Rove is as popular among Republicans as he is among Democrats.

One of the ironies is in the spring and summer Rove was writing opinion hit pieces on how Obama was a failure due to his 'high burn rate' both for a massive staff and for buying ads so early on. (see this article)  We now know that massive staff was taking data mining to a whole new level and those early ads are the ones Rove is now saying 'suppressed the vote'....translation: they worked.

Please do us a favor, Karl:

Shut the f**k up ! Forever plz.

No, keep yelling away Karl... please .....

The GOP will stay firmly pinned to the floor while you do ....

[Lief 🗽]

As I said in the chat the other day, Karl Rove has always been very over-rated as a campaign strategist/consultant. Hopefully serious people start ignoring him after his disastrous performance this year.

That is one of the "correct" ways of referring to African Americans.

Rove is perfectly right, but there is nothing wrong in doing it.  It is a legitimate campaign strategy.

I wonder if David Axelrod will be this ridiculous and out of touch in 2020.

King, you don't think that was the purpose of the negative ads over the summer?  It's perfectly legitimate.

Just give him My Chemical Romance albums and he'll be on his way.
