How Rove Neutralizes Political Liabilities |
|
In 2000, Rove had an ex-Coke snorting candidate that went AWOL from the National Guard, the later being the rich man’s way of dodging Vietnam.
Now, you'd think that that would be an impossible obstacle. Well, Rove secretly leaked all the details to an author with attempted murder in his background. When "Fortunate Son" was released and started to make news, James Hatfield's background was exposed and that news made the book (and Bush's background) tainted data. For those interested, the whole story is detailed in the movie "Horns and Halos".
Move to 2004. Bush is up for reelection, but there's that pesky Nation Guard Story. So… genuine documents were “forged” and passed on to Dan Rather. Minutes after the 60 minutes story finished, an “alert Freeper” detected the forgeries on his TV screen and soon the whole story was shot down as an example of sloppy journalism. Bush’s Nation Guard record was not a factor in his reelection bid.
So, here we are in 2008 and the Republican’s have a man who divorces his wife for a mistress 17 years his junior. Not only that, but he STILL can’t seem to keep his marriage vows. So, what to do…what to do…

4. McCains whole campaign staff is made up of high power lobbyist |
|
So put a story out about an affair with a lobbyist and have it proved inaccurate and it takes the heat off his other lobbyist concerns. Having been such an adamant anti-lobbying advocate with his entire staff made up of lobbyist it makes his "straight shooter" routine a bit humorous
