I WISH I COULD SHOVE THIS IN ROVES FACE ON NATIONAL TV!!
Rove is saying Democrats help terrorists by being against the War

By being against the war R's will say we help terrorists. We HAVE to show how Iraqi's are suffering and show how it is because of Bush's POOR war planning!

Republican party leaders are finally against the war now that public opinion is threatening their re-election.

The Republicans don't care about the war itself, just their reelection.

For example Republicans look at this photo of an Iraqi boy with his leg blown off
and blame everyone but Bush:

they blame liberals
they blame saddam
they blame insurgents

Who lied to start this war?
Who failed to plan for sufficient troops for keeping the peace?

But now Republicans are against it because of getting releected. Republicans couldn't care less about this Iraqi boy with his leg blown off

1. I put together this helpful quiz...
1) "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war" said Karl. What was the most important part of that preparation?
a) Sitting motionlessly to listen to schoolchildren read "My Pet Goat"before sprinting for a bunker in Nebraska to hide for the rest of the day.
b) Preventing Dixie Chicks records from being played on the radio.
c) Re-naming fried potatoes and fried, egg-dipped bread so that France doesn't get credit for them.
d) Making officers who point out what was actually needed for war resign from the Pentagon.
e) All of the above.

2) "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war" said Karl. What was the SECOND most important part of that preparation?
a) Trying to get the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge opened for drilling because otherwise the terrorists would win.
b) Trying to get a massive tax break for the richest 1% of Americans.
c) Letting the guy who masterminded that 9/11 savagery stroll unimpeded into Pakistan.
d) Destroying evidence in the anthrax attack case.
e) All of the above.

3) "I don't know about you, but moderation and restraint is not what I felt when I watched the twin towers crumble to the ground, a side of the Pentagon destroyed, and almost 3,000 of our fellow citizens perish in flames and rubble." Karl told his conservative audience. Which of these noted young conservatives felt just like Karl, threw moderation and restraint aside, and joined the military immediately?
a) George P. Bush, nephew of the current White House occupant.
b) Jeb Bush Junior, nephew of the current White House occupant.
c) Billy Bush, cousin of the current White House occupant.
d) Andrew M. Rove, son of Karl Rove.
e) None of the above.

4) "I don't know about you, but moderation and restraint is not what I felt when I watched the twin towers crumble to the ground, a side of the Pentagon destroyed, and almost 3,000 of our fellow citizens perish in flames and rubble." Karl told his conservative audience. Which of these was the most valuable result of conservatives not being moderate or restrained?
a) We invaded a country that had nothing at all to do with the 9/11 attacks, and now 135,000 American troops are bogged down in a futile occupation.
b) Osama Bin Laden, the architect of the 9/11 savagery, remains at large, with his criminal organization much larger and more powerful than before the attacks.
c) Virtually every ally we had in the world is estranged, and this country, which was a beacon of human rights, is now synonymous with torture.
d) Our troops are fighting alone while the White House pretends that countries like Eritrea and the Solomon Islands are helping the war effort.
e) All of the above.

5) Rove fretted aloud to his audience about the danger to our troops. Which of these actions is least likely to increase this danger?
a) Claiming that war is a cakewalk and refusing to adequately prepare for the effort needed.
b) Failing to secure weapons depots and ammuntions dumps after the invasion.
c) Equipping the troops with inadequate and antiquated gear and publicly sneering at their concerns.
d) Keeping battle-weary troops on the front lines indefinitely.
e) Pointing out that the torture currently being inflicted in the GOP’s concentration camp at Guantanimo was pretty much like the torture dished out in totalitarian regimes.

6) Rove also said "liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers," What would have been the drawbacks of that approach?
a) Osama Bin Laden and his gang might have been indicted, captured, tried and punished due to the cooperation of nearly every law enforcement organization on the planet.
b) Al Qaeda might have been disgraced and destroyed.
c) Americans might have understood who had attacked us and why they had done so.
d) Mental illness of the sort publicly exhibited by Karl Rove and his audience might get treated through therapy.
e) All of the above.

It is disgraceful that a flabby chickenhawk and an incompetent drunk have the nerve to criticize anyone for their own fuck-ups....

22. This is almost perfect. I might suggest you take out the name of Rove's
son. He is under 15 years of age and has some kind of mental health issues, perhaps autism, can't remember exactly. Otherwise, spot on.

26. I might if I had some compassion
but as you know, Rove's monkey says conservatives have that...

Besides, weren't recruiters targeting kids that young and lowering standards ?

24. You Know They're "ARROGANT," & "UN COMPASSIONATE" when
they "use" (to the hilt) their own supporters; hideously ignorant republican voters. Not all of them these days, but the ones filled with prejudice, hatred for the greatness we had become prior to 2000, etc.

I literally cringe whenever I hear another "lame-minded" Bush & Co. supporter call-in to C-SPAN w/their "far from reality" viewpoints.

But you know, think about this: That oval office has got to be under some sort of pressure, or they'd not have sent out the mysterious KKKRove for damage control.

I like those bumper stickers that state "Wake-Up, American!" But, they won't. Idiots, filled w/ dim-witted ignorance those ultra-neocon think groups had to have studied for eons in order to grasp their devotion.

Most "know" it's not Democrats. And if they don't know their not paying attention, thanks to the Lame-Stream Media.

Where has the compassion gone?

If it is only liberals who realize what is wrong with this picture, we are in serious trouble.

America has lost its humanity.:(
