They Don't Apologize and Will Never Apologize

There are at least two reasons why no one should expect any apologies from Karl Rove or the White House for Rove's controversial comments Tuesday night, in which he described the liberal approach to national security as being weak and possibly even treasonous.

1) This White House doesn't apologize.


2) Why apologize when you said exactly what you meant to say?

Karl Rove didn't get George W. Bush this far just by luck. Rove has a brilliant and so far unbeatable strategy when it comes to political warfare: He doesn't defend his candidate's weaknesses, he attacks his opponent's strengths. Unapologetically.

Consider the 2004 campaign, when Rove was faced with a Vietnam problem. A war hero was running against his boss, who had opted to stay well out of harm's way. Rather than defend, Rove attacked -- and put John Kerry on the defensive.

2. Did Cheney apologize for saying
"Go Fuck Yourself" to Leahy on the floor of the Senate? Can you imagine the pressure a Dem would have been under to publically grovel after being caught making such a remark?

Being a repuke means never apologizing for the most egregious behavior while demanding that Dems apologize for getting up in the morning. And the spineless Dems cave every time...

3. Can we still say ...
"Bring it on!"? Come on, Karl, tell us how you really feel!

We've been waiting very patiently to do the same! We've been treating these arrogant misfits, rejects, and criminals with kid gloves for way too long.

All they do is attack and insult. Then they whine and cry about "bashing Bu$h" when someone makes a legitimate criticism. Well, they ain't seen nothing yet!

Anyone remember "angry white men"? They'll look like crybabies once they see the wrath of angry moderates, independents, liberals and Democrats.

Most Americans do not like being lied to! It's not nice to fool fellow Americans and try to turn us against each other. Why do THEY hate America so much?

United WE stand — Divided THEY fall!
