Bill Clinton To Dems: Beware Of Karl Rove Politics

Politics Daily:

"Karl Rove is a genius," Clinton said, telling the crowd what he believes Republicans want voters to do during the midterm elections: "Stop thinking."

Clinton added that Rove understands there is a deep "tribal" anger about the direction of the country that is fueling the midterms. Republicans like Rove are doing a good job at using talking points to tap into that anger to woo voters.

I remember 60s idealistic kids at UCBerkeley realizing that principle is worth more than accommodating as hustling political chameleon. Realizing noone has THE answer, they promoted MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE and RESPONSIBLE DEBATE to find truth. THAT WAS REAL REVOLUTION!

Rove was a nocturnal animal scurrying in the dark, taking pride in how many unsuspecting insects he could devour. He’s typical Republican operative.

Idealists didn't see him as dangerous. Instead they saw their liberal parents as dangerous because liberals start on political road with bag of principles, lightening load by dumping ideals on road to power so during last steps they travel light.

In 2004 Rove pulled off BIG LIE. Since then I watched Dem operatives become Rovewannabes. The principles they had as under30s evaporated. Henceforth it's all RoveLikeGimmicks.

BillClinton was that way and ended his career as a smudge in history, having out GingrichedGingrich.

Finally Obama came along and liberated DemocratParty from Clintonism.

But Obama was a virgin in a cathouse. So he brought in the Clintonistas to guide him.Their FAKE CHANGE destroyed Obama's presidency. The Clintons are laughing at Obama now that under their guidance he’s seen as "BlackFailure"-- exactly what Clinton was saying during 2008campaign.

Rove/Clinton/Gingrich all alike : no principles, no solutions, just deceptive skills.

IOW, Rove is dogwhistling to the ra- yyyyc iiii-sts in this country. That's what the "tribal" remark was about. They [the angry in -b- reds/rayy ycis sstss] want "their" country back.

Well, guess what?

You can't have it back.

It was never yours to begin with!

Why are big business and billionaires they afraid to disclose their support for an issue?

The share of total income going to the top 1% of earners was 8.9% in 1976.

The share of total income going to the top 1% of earners was 23.5% in 2007.

Now they want a tax break. Give me a break! #$%^&*()&^#$

The average hourly wage has declined by 7% during the same period.

After 8 years of GWB running the country into a ditch and putting us into the
worse economic downturn since the great depression these people want to be
put back into power.

People have such short memories and are letting the Republicans rewrite history.
The reason we have such high unemployment and a lagging economy are because
GWB took a budget surplus from BIll Clinton and ran it into a huge deficit. We
were losing 750,000 jobs a month when GWB left office.

The economy is on the mend..if GWB and his buddies had not ran the economy into
a ditch we would be in better shape now. He dug us such a big hole that it will take
time to get out.

Democrats need to speak up and get out and vote.

Working class Americans need to understand which party is looking out for them
and which party is looking out for millionaires and corporate elites. Don't
be duped by the spin doctors of the right

Working class Americans need to understand which party is looking out for them
and which party is looking out for millionaires and corporate elites (BOTH). Don't
be duped by the spin doctors of the right OR the Left.

The only thing Rover is genius at is dirty tricks. He has been doing it since 1970 when he stole his first letterhead from an Illinois Democrat. And now, Papa bush and Shrubby Bush have no governmental power to support him.

Every single one of you liberal progressives could vote and it will NOT make a difference. What you FAIL to realize is your voting block represents ONLY 20% and the rest of the 80% are fed up with Obama's and Congress's radical left-wing agenda.

Attorney General Eric Holder will go after Pot growers in California if voters there vote to legalize it. However I have not heard of any plans to investigate, prosecute the traitor Karl Rove.
I will vote straight Democratic on November 2.
