KKKarl Rove jokes about murdering Todd Akin

http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-08-31/exclusive-inside-karl-roves-billionaire-fundraiser#p1


On the final morning of the Republican National Convention, Karl Rove took the stage at the Tampa Club to provide an exclusive breakfast briefing to about 70 of the Republican Party’s highest-earning and most powerful donors. During the more than hour-long session, Rove explained to an audience dotted with hedge fund billionaires and investors—including John Paulson and Wilbur Ross—how his super PAC, American Crossroads, will persuade undecided voters in crucial swing states to vote against Barack Obama. He also detailed plans for Senate and House races, and joked, “We should sink Todd Akin. If he’s found mysteriously murdered, don’t look for my whereabouts!”

Then Rove pleaded with his audience for more money—much more.

<snip>...

Rove explained that Crossroads had conducted extensive focus groups and shared polling and focus group data with “all the major groups that are playing” in the election. “As many of you know, one of the most important things about Crossroads is: We don’t try and do this alone. We have partners,” he said. “The Kochs—you name it.”

Don't get on any small planes, Todd--we need you!

Rove is one nasty, twisted piece of work--no f**king wonder the White House was so demented during the **** regime!

More and more, I find myself with a seething hatred for that m******-f*****!!

worked on the software/computer system for the Repugs. One "committed suicide" in a motel (with the doors locked, of course) and one was in a plane crash.

I'm sure there are more...

(See link) This is what we're up against! and this election could define this country for the next quarter-century. We gotta lay it all on the line, because it may very well be. Don't look at the polls showing Obama ahead and get complacent. There's MUCH more going on!! And we have got to bring the A-game to this!

I've seen so much energy from people lately......maybe it's because so many are truly scared of what could happen under a Romney presidency....
