Carl Forti: Karl Rove's Karl Rove

Politico:

Democrats have targeted their long-time nemesis Karl Rove as the mastermind behind the tens of millions of dollars of ads from independent groups attacking their candidates this fall, but maybe they should have listened more carefully when Rove recently told the audience of Rush Limbaugh's radio show about "one of the smartest people in politics you've never heard of."

In fact, Carl Forti, the low-key career Republican operative Rove was talking about, may be the figure most intricately involved in the outside groups transforming the 2010 election season with a deluge of hard-hitting ads.

TODAY’S REPUBLICANS ARE AMERICA'S ENEMY WITHIN

Republicans ARE practicing seditious DEMAGOGUERY and anti-democracy OBSTRUCTIONISM intended to destabilize our economy for purposes of political exploitation.

Republicans AREN'T making a sincere effort to STOP the bleeding THEIR incompetent leadership and failed policies created. Instead, they're using inflammatory lies and accusations as a smokescreen to conceal their subversive agenda, which is to cause President Obama and America to fail so they can blame Democrats for the consequences of THEIR calamitous mismanagement.

Republicans ARE preposterously professing that THEIR disgraceful political WHORING had nothing to do with the banking, real estate, stock market and employment catastrophes that resulted.

Republicans ARE trying to hamstring Democrats to prevent them from repairing the damage caused during a Republican presidency that was irresponsibly enabled by Republican Senators and Representatives.

Republicans ARE offering ridiculous arguments meant solely to disrupt and prevent progressive change. They'd rather divide America and create political gridlock than endure the political consequences of effective Democratic governance.

Republicans AREN'T the LOYAL OPPOSITION; they ARE the ENEMY WITHIN whose mercenary priorities have eroded their moral and ethical standards to the point that duplicity and betrayal have become their preferred modus operandi.

It's one thing to advocate their conservative beliefs; it's another thing entirely to willfully sabotage America's government because a successful Democratic presidency would not be vulnerable to the greed, fears and hatreds that have produced and sustained the despicable Republican anti-government corporatism and anti-Christian faux theocracies that are poisoning and crippling American society.

As an Italian-American, it offends me that so many other Italian -Americans have forgotten their roots and run to the republican party-it is beginning to look like the "poor man's mafia"

Carl Forti is a great American engaged in helping people. I am supportive of his efforts to help restrain the leftwing from getting their propaganda to the gullible supporters they try to reach.

What propaganda, please be specific.
Do any conservatives ever say what they mean?

Republicans don't brag about their ideas. They don't have any. What they do boast about are their packs of attack dogs, and how they intimidate and scare people while shrewdly manipulating the system to their advantage. They have game —I'll give them that— but no real plan for governing other than to make wealthy individuals and businesses even richer. And if that comes at the expense of the dwindling middle class, so be it. They probably refer to it among themselves as "collateral damage."

you know maybe if the repubs would put their "brightest" into the ring and have them run for office instead of in the shadows, maybe we could possibly have an honest debate on the issues?

Rather than the circus acts they are currently promoting?

[Todays Illusion]

I am sure they run anyone they can find with a even half clean background.
The circus acts are the best they can find.
too many illegal immigrant workers, tax issues, marriage/sex issues
all that stuff they use to attack Democratic office seekers.

At the end, all that money won't beat the power of the people.
