Karl Rove Beats the Democrats Again...
'As with the prototype of Thanksgiving 2003, there was a breathless blow-by-blow of how President Bush faked out his own cabinet, donned a baseball cap and slipped into his waiting plane. In cautious remembrance of "Top Gun," White House photos were disseminated of the fearless leader hovering in the cockpit. Once on the ground, Mr. Bush made much of looking into the eyes of Nuri al-Maliki, our third post-Saddam Iraqi leader, and finding him as worthy as he did Vladimir Putin after a similarly theatrical ocular X-ray.

This bit of presidential shtick is now as polished as Johnny Carson's old burlesque psychic, Carnac the Magnificent.'

why are rove & bush being allowed to repeat these performances of conceit & cynicism over & again without so much as a single pointed question being raised regarding their abuse of power, sovereign nations at each end, and the citizenry within there american & iraqi alike...riddle me that

2. when you see someone with all the cards you call 'Mullens!', it stops...
the play of cards until everyone understands why someone at the table HAS all the cards...but someone needs the balls to call it for what it is

3. Well, even if he does...
pull one over on us... he's still stuck with the fact he's a rusted bucked of ripe, runny pig stool.

6. It works on fewer and fewer people each time
The more times folks see this crap, the more of them call "BullS**t". It's up to about 60% now, hopefully we can get up above 70% before november. KKKarl is helping us, in this regard.

9. Re:
(Sigh) Try to be patient, optimistic, positive, and proactive. Just because he won the indictment victory doesn't mean that he's untouchable for the rest of *'s time in office.

Truth prevails eventually, just as good eventually prevails against evil. Just keep fighting the good fight - do everything you can to work against him.

Even if justice isn't served here on earth, it comforts me to think that someday, he will have to answer for his dirty tricks and lies. Call me crazy, but it helps to keep me optimistic most of the time.

12. Then why doesn't the Dem party find someone as diabolical
and scheming to compete with Rovian tactics...

If you are playing a game of world class chess you have the best players playing each other....so far the Dems have put in third string players...how hard is this concept...they should be looking for someone that can counter and take the offensive against Rove....

13. yup, you'll never win a baseball game just standing there watching...
the balls whiz past your ears, or dribble between your legs into the outfield. some people with a sense of creative play & counter play are called for with this gang of liars & thugs imo
