Karl Rove American Crossroads

Politico:

A new political operation conceived by Republican operatives Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie formed a spinoff group last month that - thanks in part to its ability to promise donors anonymity - has brought in more money in its first month than the parent organization has raised since it started in March.

A new ad from American Crossroads attacks Reid in an ad that claims Nevada received less stimulus money than "every other state but one." However, data from Recovery.gov and ProPublica.org unequivocally shows the claim to be false.

14 States Were Awarded Less Money From The Recovery Act Than Nevada.

People who don't want to be held accountable for their actions in this way subvert democracy. Rover is a totalitarian. Pass the transparency act.

I think we can safely guess at the names . . .

Rove-"linked" group uses secret donors?

Has anyone ever investigated the foreign illegal contributions that flowed into the Obama campaign?

It's a funny thing how the liberals get excited about accusations against Republicans but they don't care at all about the crimes Democrats commit.One has to wonder how they sleep at night.

Ask yourself this question: If the Democrats were 'committing crimes' wouldn't Fox News be reporting it? People like you charge Democrats with committing just as many crimes, but you have your own network in your pocket, so why aren't you forcing FOX to report them? Don't you think they exist? How about if they DON'T Exist?

The donors are secret because they don't have the b@lls to let us know who they are, because they are afraid of being shown for who they are.

...like all of Obama's donors from the Soros funded front groups?

Oh pleeeze, what's secret about this? Bankers, Oil Companies, Media Moguls, etc., you know, the same old thugs that the Supreme Court protects with their campaign finance protections!

Call it what it really is -- Voodoo America...

"The crossroads -- a place where two roads cross at or about right angles, otherwise known as "the forks of the road" -- is the subject of religious and folkloric belief all around the world. Because the crossroads is land that belongs to no one ... it is considered a suitable site to perform magical rituals and cast spells. The use of the crossroads as an impromptu altar where offerings are placed and rituals performed is widely encountered in both European and African folklore. "

From swift-boating to Shirley Sherrod, they're back at it. It's time the lily-livered dems fought fire with fire. Call it like it is. Get the word out. Stop "talking-talking-talking" and plant ideas -- embed them in the soul of the people through the unconscious. Thought and reason do not work. See it for what it is -- it's voodoo!

Call them out -- like Olbermann did tonight. Please stop them!!! There's still time...

How does OLD Queen Rove who earned the nickname Miss Piggy at the gay bars in DC, and chin challenged Gillespie who ran the knuckle dragging Brown Shirts called Protest Warriors have any power in America?

“Wall Street was freed to donate money anonymously. They have responded with millions. They all donated heavily to O'Blame-a in 2008. Now they are saying, "Out, damned spot! out, I say!"

Too much protest? For democracy being purchased behind closed doors?
Riots in the street would hardly be protest enough for the travesty which has befallen this land.

secret donors = cowards and ball-less crooks
