Corner every GOP candidate in a BLUE DEM state - Do you agree with Rove?

[blm]

Santorum is already saying Rove doesn't speak for him.

Get every blue state Republican to repudiate Rove.

It's a start.

1. What I sent to Peter "we'll take care of the counting" King

Dear Rep. King,

As one of your constituents I would like to know if you intend to call
for Karl Rove's to apologize for his sweeping characterization of
democrats as terrorist sympathizers.

Many of your constituents were killed during the attacks of 9/11, and
yet still a majority of Long Islanders voted to oust George Bush and
Karl Rove from the White House. It seems to me that Mr. Rove has
disparaged the majority of your constituents simply based on how they
voted in the 2004 presidential election.

I would also be willing to bet that an overwhelming number of Long
Islanders who voted for Bush in '04 would find Rove's comments to be
despicable -- at best, inappropriate.

Mr. King please stand up for New York and Long Island and Rove and let the
White House know that their rhetoric is abhorrent. Call for a
retraction.

Sincerely,
tk2kewl :)

2. This is a non-starter.

Nobody gives a shit what Karl Rove says.

3. After all the credit he's been getting from the media the last 5 years?

Oh yes they do care. It's the GOP politicians who care because the WORD of Karl Rove does carry.

4. The GOP is going to stand behind Rove.

The Dems are going to attack him. The voters don't give a shit.

5. Santorum is already running away from Rove. It will play in Pa.

And it will play in NJ. And it will play in any blue state where some GOPer is facing re-election.

6. Santorum's office said that Rove doesn't speak for him.

That's hardly a strong condemnation.

7. I've called the offices of Pataki and Bloomberg

Spoke to people in their offices who seemed sympathetic. City Democrats know this is an issue. Many 9/11 victims or their families were slurred by Rove. And that's the point. People are personally offended by Rove here.

Santorum owes a great deal to Rove. The fact that he even offered his milquetoast refutation shows that this issue has resonance. Will the GOP back down? No. But they will know that "Blame the Democrats/liberals" is going to be a tough sell and may not play very well for the 2006 elections
