Why do Libtards hate Karl Rove?

I would assume it is the same reason people find your posts hilarious.

ndotseth: Why do Libtards hate Karl Rove?

Libertarians don't hate him, we think he's hilarious for so blatantly exploiting "Republican base" thick-headedness. He's one of the few political manipulators to realize that a Republican really can say absolutely anything, regardless of fact, history, or what he himself said yesterday, because by saying it with conviction while waving a flag, the "base" will believe him.

Because Rove hates Murka.

I think it's hilarious that your response to a lie is to insist that there's no lie.

Transparent, hamfisted lying is the only arrow left in the 28%ers' quivers. Too freakin' funny.

I don't get the same kind of mental whiplash I used to from Rove. He's become pathetically predictable.

Would people please stop quoting the painfully obvious troll? Everyone knows he's a troll, leave him the fark alone. I, however, am very much amused by Rove being completely see through. Even the Master of Spin can't pull this clusterfark out.

Palin was mayor of Wasilla, AK, a town of just over 8,000 people that currently employs just over 100 individuals

I've managed as many as 53 people in one of my jobs. That should at *least* land me a cabinet post.

/filed my TPS report on time every friday too.

From electoral-vote.com

Schmidt: McCain, Get your ass over here and look at this map.

McCain: It's the U.S. with the states red and blue. Seen it before. What's your point?

Schmidt: Obama's gonna win all the Kerry States. You have a small chance to pick off New Hampshire but 60% of the people think you're pro choice. When they find out you've been pro life for 25 years, forget New Hampshire.

McCain: Where does that leave me?

Schmidt: Bush won 286 to 252.

McCain: Fine with me.

Schmidt: But wait a minute. Obama campaigned like crazy in Iowa. Won the caucuses big time. You barely set foot in the state. The people of Iowa take their caucuses very, very seriously. You insulted them. Make that 279 to 259.

McCain: I still win.

Schmidt: We're not done yet. Obama has been leading in New Mexico all year. State's full of Latinos. They preferred Clinton but they're still Democrats at heart. I think we're toast there. Now its 274 to 264.

McCain: A win is a win. Still better than Florida was.

Schmidt: Yeah, but now Obama is just 5 EVs short of a tie (which means it goes to the House and he'll win there) and 6 EVs short of a clean win. Look, there are six swing states this time: Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Missouri, Colorado, and Nevada. We have to win all six of them. Can't lose a single state or we're dead meat.

McCain: I'm a fighter. You know that. The gooks couldn't break me. I'll campaign like hell in all six. Don't worry.

Schmidt: I'm worried. We're 50-50 on all six. It's like flipping a coin six times and getting six heads. One chance in 64, roughly 2%. We have to do something dramatic. Something that will throw all calculations out the window. Something that completely shakes up everything. Something that gives us a fresh start. Gotta hit the RESET button.

McCain: Have something in mind?

Schmidt: Yeah. Pick a black or a woman for Veep.

McCain: You mean I can't pick Joe? He's my friend and a great guy.

Schmidt: Half the convention would walk out. Besides, Jews aren't a novelty any more. Thank Gore for that.

McCain:. shiat. But blacks are fine with me. Colin Powell is a great American and one of the most respected people in the country.

Schmidt: He doesn't want the job

McCain: No sweat. Condi's the smartest woman I know. Mind like a bear trap. She'll run rings around Biden at the debate. She'll say: "I've been there. I talk to Putin every week. You're just an old windbag"

Schmidt: She's got "BUSH III" emblazoned on her forehead. And Obama is a happily married man with two adorable little girls, Condi's a single black woman who is apparently not much into families. Won't work. What about Kay [Bailey Hutchison (R-TX)]?

McCain: She's tired of the Washington rat race. She wants to go back to Texas. Be governor or something, you know like Ma Ferguson.

Schmidt: Ma's husband, the governor, was impeached and convicted. Ann Richards would be a better role model. What other women do we have?

McCain: Jodi [Rell] and Olympia [Snowe] are smart and popular but pro choice. The Base distrusts me already. They'd mutiny.

Schmidt: Elizabeth Dole? Susan Collins?

McCain: With either of those we lose a Senate seat. I don't want to have 60 Democrats to deal with over there. Reid might grow a spine. Can't encourage that.

Schmidt: Lisa Murkowski?

McCain: Her dad appointed her. She won on her own later, but I don't need to deal with nepotism and cronyism. Smells like Bush. I'm a maverick, remember?

Schmidt: Got it. Some businesswomen? Sarah Palin?

McCain: Carly [Fiorina] is great on economics, but she nearly she ran her company into the ground so the board fired her and then gave her $40 million so she wouldn't feel bad. The 20,000 people she fired aren't too keen on her. Meg Whitman did a fantastic job at eBay but nobody's ever heard of her.

Schmidt: So Palin's the only one left? What about her?

McCain: I met her once, at a governors meeting. Cute as a button. She ran for Miss Alaska. Came in second. I woulda voted for her. But it's a real Hail Mary pass. She's popular up north there where the sun never shines (except for some minor problems when she tried to fire her state trooper brother-in-law). She was pregnant with a Down syndrome baby and didn't abort him. The Base will love that. Her hobbies are riding her motorcycle and hunting moose. The coal miners in Appalachia will go wild over her. How fast can we print a million 8x10 color photos of her for their lockers?

Schmidt: Fast. But what about her experience. I mean, she's only been governor a year and a half. What did she do before that?

McCain: I think she was mayor of some village with six igloos. Who cares? I think you're right we have to shake things up completely. Change the game. The Base will eat her up on abortion, the Hillary fans will see that we respect women (unlike their guy). We grab the mantle of reformers. The white guys will be transfixed by this hot chick who hunts moose. I get to be Maverick-in-chief. Sounds like a winner.

Schmidt: What about the debate with Biden? What if the moderator says: "What would you do if Russia invaded Georgia again?" and she says: "I'll get on Air Force One and fly to Atlanta immediately."

McCain: Most Americans can't find Georgia the state on a map, let alone Georgia the country. I'll get Lugar to tutor her on foreign policy. He knows everything about it. I'm sold. Let's go for it.
Curtain falls.

Ha. Rove on VP experience:

"With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he's been a governor for three years. He's been able but undistinguished. I don't think people could really name a big, important thing that he's done ... [Kaine] was mayor of the 105th largest city in America. And again, with all due respect to Richmond, Virginia, it's smaller than Chula Vista, California; Aurora, Colorado; Mesa, or Gilbert, Arizona; North Las Vegas, or Henderson, Nevada. It's not a big town."

I sort of agree with him. Face it, if you're a Republican, you have true belief in the one God, who will see to it that your stay will be a success. You're talking experience? I think God has that covered.

Democrats, however, can't rely on God, and hence need the experience.

Considering it's your vice presidential nominee who has a child with Down's Syndrome, is it really appropriate to call us "Libtards"?

Just wondering, not simply for this little piss stain that won't answer, but for the rest of you conservatives who like dropping this phrase.

Then once in a while I get buoyed by your petulant mewling based on your adolescent "separatist" views. Tribalists trying to reduce our country. Whenever there's no external threat, there's always short sighted people who need to create strife, no matter how vaunted their cultures position is in a culture. I grew up loving all of Canadian culture, french, english, inuit. Then some people see an advantage of lying to their offspring, creating strife and initiating a "movement".

It's so base, and disgusting. It's like rape on a grand scale. Do your ignorant worst.

As a Gen-Xer, I've always believed that I was immune to being shocked. It wasn't until Hot Karl came along that I came to appreciate what true cynicism is. What he practices is a cynicism so pure, so refined, that we may never see its like again in our lifetimes. It's not just that he's flip-flopped, it's that he was saying all of these things while quashing all of McCain's original choices and all but forcing him to take Palin. I am truly in awe.

In politics, you're only as good as your last win. He fell flat on his fat douchey face in '06. The guy's a fkn joke.

Rove claimed that the polls "add up to a Republican Senate and a Republican House."

"You may end up with a different math, but you're entitled to your math," Rove said. "I'm entitled to 'the' math."

Nonsense. In the Balkanization of America I'm sure there will be at least one place that will restrict voting rights to land-owning white males and allow for the enslavement of lesser races.
