Karl Rove Advising McCain Campaign

Politico:

John McCain is getting much more than President Bush's endorsement and fundraising help for his campaign. He's getting Bush's staff.

It's no secret that Steve Schmidt, Bush's attack dog in the 2004 election, and Mark McKinnon, the president's media strategist, are performing similar functions for McCain now.

Anyone here surprised? Didn't think so.
McCain, like Hillary, will say or do anything to grab that power.

You are known by the company you keep.

Anyone who still feels that John McCain is a "hero" needs to redefine what a hero is. This is not patriotism but a continuation some of the the worst kind of politics this nation has ever seen. That McCain would make his peace with Jerry Falwell told me where he was going with his so-called Maverick politics. In many ways, McCain is worse than Bush. At least Bush didn't grovel for power. There were so many such as Rove and the right wingers who wanted that sort of presidency that Bush could just get sober and ride into town on a white horse. McCain had to grovel before the family values crowd instead of having been born on third base as Bush was.

Well that seems very fair and balanced.

McCain, who *had* the sympathy of Independents and Moderate Dems after the 2000 tussle with Bush (especially in SC), has embraced his assaulter, Mr. Turd-Blossom himself.

While this Primary season has been full of surprises, McCain's embrace of Bush, and now his "hit team," is a colossal blunder. This country has buyers remorse about 2004, and Hillary's manipulations in TX & OH aside, the voters will not be fooled again. Everything he has stood for has been a chimera. I don't know what McCain principles are; and , needless to say the sympathy and regard for McCain is gone now -- with prejudice.

Of Course He Is!!
I think that He is Privately giving HillBush Lite a Few lessons too. You see They ( Dem & Rep ) Do Not Want Obama to Win the Nomination because Both Parties are Bought & Paid For and Buisness as Usual could change. A Changing of the Guard You might say & Why Would they want that to happen when they have Us All by the Balls??

[lvogt]

Of course he is. McCain is no saint. He'll stoop as low as he has to.
Rove is no genius. He's just willing to be more unethical than anyone else.

[rollingdivision]

Well this is certainly good news. Rove is a proven winner.

[wndrwrthg]

And a detestable excuse for a human being.

[bronceye]

Obviously, rove's family is sick and tired of him "spending time" with them. Understandable.

[governor67]

There goes the neighborhood. In complement to his antiquated­/braindead stance on torture, the war, and prosecuting domestic war criminals, hiring Rove will further cripple McCain's candidacy.

[armadillious2002]

Well, well, well - the turd blossoms again. Let's all prove to this criminal scumbag that his day is over and that voters across this once great Nation can see through his lying crap.

[Plowboy]

Seems like old times,

having you beside me.

Sems like old times,

having you to guide me.

(Oh, so sorry, I got this one mixed up with that one he's a clone of.)

[zendem1]

Aww.that's sweet. They make a cute couple though.
