Rove Continues To Tout "The Math" To Rationalize GOP Losses

[JABBS]

"You are entitled to your math, and I'm entitled to the math," Karl Rove told a National Public Radio interviewer last month.

And he's sticking to that spin.

1. Yes it's the math

it's called subtraction

2. That's just a math, that's not "The Math"

"The Math" is Quantum Electorial Division or QED. Once you run the number through that you find out that the Republicans really won this last election, and also Democracy has broken out all over Iraq. QED is a little like being high, actually.

Time to fall on your sword.

6. It's Time The FEC Investigated "The Math"...

Wasn't this math predicated on Rovo-calls? Voter intimidation and suppression? Hiring the homeless to pass out purposely misleading "sample balots" in Baltimore? Urging a radio station in California to include a GOOP candidate's commercial over their Emergency Broadcast system feed that went to (and probably over) dozens of stations in a 17 county area? Or was this math just the same "math" that led to resounding defeats across the country last week. Curious minds would like to know.

BTW...is there still a Federal Elections Commission or was that outsourced to Halliburton, too?

10. not exactly

that's the offsetting math.

Rove's math was predicated on no Mark Foley scandal, and the GOP being able to continue to focus our attention on being scared of Osama Bin Laden.

Didn't work out so well ...

8. Items he failed to include in his equations:

# of days Congress actually in session

$ actually spent on pointless, straw-men issues and bills allowing government intrusion on private lives of adult Americans

# of lives ruined and $ poured into corporate coffers by way of the sham 'war on terra' and the invasion, occupation of Iraq

# of times Congress voted in the middle of the night, literally using darkness to hide what they were doing

# of times Congress rubber stamped the destruction of the Constitution for the benefit of an imperial executive branch who constantly mistakes America for their little group

$ taken from corporate lobbyists to do their bidding and fuck the American citizens

# of emotionally charged but really pointless issues focused on for months/years with REAL problem ignored and American infrastructure rotted

Yeah, the math had a few problems Karl. And more Americans can count than you gave us credit for.
