Karl Rove & A One-Party America
I wished there was some legal way to bring this man down. I really do. He is more dangerous than George W. Bush. He is the true power behind the throne and his ultimate goal is? A one-party totalitarian theocratic right-wing country! :scared:


I know this article is dated from this past Summer but in light of the current situation we find ourselves in, I thought I would bring it all to your attention even if you have read this or not.

We need to find somebody as cunning and as clever as Rove to counter them. Before it's too late!

5. You aren't kidding
Thing is, RIGHT NOW, they can't do it -- but when they dislodge "old media" and make their right-wing, false-binary brainwashing "the new objectivity," they might gain the numbers.

If anyone thinks they're going to "reach out," or that "we'll just do better next time," they're clueless. They still have a two houses of congress and the governorships to take control of, so they have the freedom to amend and subtract from the Constitution, at will.

It hasn't even been a week, and they're already pounding us, claiming mandate, trying to demoralize us, threatening us and calling us names.

2. The Media and Rove...
...both of these entities need to be dealt with...Rove is Satan and the media is his pitchfork.

Ignorance breeds fear bigotry hatred & lies. None are Christian values...

8. Born on Christmas Day, Rove IS the Anti-Christ.
He is fundamentally anti-Christian.

6. Let's just crumble the foundation beneath him
Take back our towns, counties, and states. Look how many folks were willing to stand up and say no to the Patriot Act.

We can keep chipping away like that until all the cracks meet somewhere, sometime, and WOOSH down goes ROVE and co.

10. I'm not sure we have time...
places that aren't yet infected with BBV all have it on the agenda. We HAVE to monitor any new machine purchases and make a HUGE stink when we see "the usual suspects" on our home turfs.

7. This is an excellent article . . . about a very devious, deceptive
man -- Karl Rove. Rove has orchestrated the rise of Barry Goldwater's dream, a rightwing federal government. However, Senator Goldwater never dreamed that his vision would be so corrupted w/ such negative people including the corruption of religion for power.

Barry Goldwater is rolling over in his grave.

9. Thanks for the link to the article.

I don't think there is a magic bullet--a single individual--who can stop Rove. But if we all pull together, we can at least slow him down.

From the article you linked:

"Rove knows that, too. He knows that we are all too busy worrying about our jobs and retirement and health care or paying for our children’s college education that we don’t have time to pay attention to the details of issues. Few of us read the three thousand word stories in the newspaper. We read the headlines. We watch the news with the sound turned down. We’re too busy. But citizenship is a job, too. And while we’re worrying about the mortgage, Karl Rove is busy stealing our democracy."

We must start distracting Rove, using every legal means at our disposal--no matter how juvenile it may seem. We need a Karl Rove sting operation in place. And we need a lot of decoys.
