I once heard him talking about strategy against Al Gore. Al Gore was considered the most honest upright man in Congress, so Rove said that was their issue. Gore's honesty. That was when the meme "Gore Invented the Internet" and "Love Canal" and a whole bunch more of the same shit until almost everyone in America started to believe Al Gore was a serial LIAR....Rove's strategy worked like a charm, although it was accomplished with distortions and LIES, it worked....Same thing against Kerry. He was a genuine Decorated War Hero.. Along comes the Swift Boat LIARS and low and behold it wasn't long before everyone in America felt Kerry LIED about his war experiences.... Attack their Strength not their weakness was how Rove operated.... Can we learn anything from that? Do Republicans have any strengths? Can we attack them without LIES and Deceit? Something for us to think about as we constantly hear about the polling that says Democrats will be wiped out in the elections...Attack their Strengths....
