This seems to me like a positive indicator.

Rove cannot slam Perry like he did Christine O’Donnel or Sharron Angle.

Rove will be walking a tightrope between his support for Romney and his non-support for Perry.

I think we are looking at an early retirement for Rove.

.

There is no place for Machiavellian establishment dinosaurs like him in modern conservative politics. He feels threatened by the grassroots, and says inflammatory things just to keep the limelight on him. The sooner we start ignoring his opinion the better.

I don’t know if any of you read my blogs…but I said a long, long time ago that Rove would come out against Perry. In fact…my words were…”Karl Rove…shut your mouth”. So…here’s my take. I believe that Romney is an inside the beltway boy that believes in big government, big spending…as did Bush. I liked GWB until he started on his spending spree. Bigger programs…remember..he started Homeland Security and look where that is now…ugh.

Then another interesting thing happened on Fox. Huckabee came out in defense to Romney and also dissed Perry as not knowing when to get into the race. So…the Huck is running blocker for the GOP quarterback Romney. WE CAN’T AFFORD ROMNEY AND WE CAN’T AFFORD ANY REPUBLICAN THAT WANTS TO SPEND MORE THAN WE TAKE IN.

The Bushies backed Kay Baily Hutchinson in her bid for governor of Texas. As the time goes by…you will see the same old GOP stalwarts come out against Perry…Why…they want the Power. So…watch as Huckabee, Romney, Rove…and yes…possibly Krauthammer try to ruin the success of Perry’s run. WE DON’T NEED THEM TO THINK FOR US…That was our problem.

Folks…the veil is coming off…not just for the Marxists…but also the power hungry old guard Republicans that like you money to maintain their status.

Karl! After making it plain that you were more comfortable with Democrats being elected than Tea Party Republicans you showed your own stripes and you were ALREADY marginalized!

Romney is the man that the MSM says has the best chance against Obama. The SAME MSM that said the SAME thing about McCain. The SAME MSM that told us in 2008 that Romney was ‘unelectable’ because he was a Mormon.

When oh WHEN will we stop allowing the Alinskyite neocons and the MSM DNC mouthpieces to pick OUR candidates?

As an analyst, he was right about O’Donnell and Angle. He was not paid to be a cheerleader or partisan.

He is right about Paul Ryan too. Weekly Standard has the scoop:

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/ryan-president_590273.html

He is strongly considering a run.

His pompous, bloviating articles in the WSJ are his only means of staying in view of the chattering class.

Bring it! It will be well worth the effort expended in the engagment to personify him and Romney as the parasitic RINOs that they are.

How can he be an impartial commentator now? If he wants to back another RINO…great. Just don’t hide behind the pundit facade.

at least to anti-Perry articles on the site right now, check it out.

Bushies slam Rick Perry’s Ben Bernanke comment

Whores are like that.

and I did not speak out, because I had no care for Christine O’Donnell…

I know the behind-the-scene power brokers (from the Nixon administration) have selected every GOP presidential candidate for years (including grooming them for years in advance).
It is tough to defeat their ‘connected’ candidate. This will be a very ‘interesting’ primary.
Romney has been groomed by these guys for at least 15 years (and I suspect it has been much longer than that.
Yep – the NY/San Fran mafia is still in control. We’ll see if Perry can beat the odds.
I think these power-brokers may recruit other candidate(s) just to diffuse the Perry path to the nomination.

The more I like him. It seems they fear him because they cannot control him.

Interesting.

When O’Donnell won the primary in Delaware Rove said on Bill O’reily she only made $6,000 while he raised $30 mil. and nobody in Washington would even talk to her even if she did win. Remember that?
Maybe Mit is the only one with enough money to be part of Rove’s clan.
If Rove is for it I’m against it, because I don’t make $30 mil. a year either, which also makes me a dirtbag.

And so it seems that every pundit and talking head, talking about the Republican primary contest, being only between Romney v Perry. Just like they talked about the possible results of the 2010 mid term elections, it’s not that they could not foresee what was about to happen. No, they meant to dampen the results. They reported in poll after poll that said the movement to the right would not be that great. It did not work! Americans voted and the Washington class and all their information sector heard. What now?, what can we do?, they ask. We must make sure we get the “right” candidate to run against Obama? Their right is not our right. A limited federal government diminishes them, and the money they get as a “national” reporter/annalist. So it is in their interest to sway public opinion, “This is whom the freedom movement will be able to elect, at this time“. Sure the conservative talking heads gave us support before the midterms, but they had no idea what it really meant. Now they do.
This movement is not over, it has just begun. We are not looking for people that will only stop the growth of the federal government, but begin to dismantle it‘s scope and power. This puts us at odds with the Washington class and talking heads, no matter what their political stripe. It’s why they fear Bachmann, Cain and Gingrich. The longer they last and are heard, the less the Washington class can control the agenda. I think Rick Perry gets it. So the attacks begin. They want Romney as the nominee.

Did I hear right on Fox News? Bill Kristol is moving to persuade Paul Ryan to run? Paul Ryan, whose resume is weinermobile driver (not kidding check Wikipedia), consultant, congressman, who has zero experience running anything except a committee and and who shares a 13 percent approval rating with other members of Congress? Paul Ryan who starred, unfairly maybe but still starred, in push granny off the cliff ads. These guys like Kristol, Rove and Morris just want an inside the beltway guy for president because it makes their job easier to have someone they’ve seen at their DC parties, have dealt with regularly and will appoint other people they know and deal with regularly giving them a whiff of power and more access than they’d have with some governor, especially a southern one. I like Paul Ryan, really I do, but his experience for an executive job is non-existant just like some other candidates. When are we going to stop treating the Presidency like a first line managerial job?

Without regard to my personal feelings for Mr. Rove, I am hopeful for the demise of the political consultants. As a group, they are lobbyists for the status quo. And nobody represents the status quo wing of the Republican Party more than Mitt Romney.

I would also hope that if Mr. Rove wants to remain loyal to the Republican Party, that he would not enter the race until after the Party chooses its nominee, as he indicated he would do in the same interview.

one seeing the 2010 McCain rerun? Its on now. I swear I will never vote for Mitt/Rove or any other RINO.
I swear I will turn in my “R” card if they do it to us again.

Know Liberals/RINO’S, Know Despair.
No Liberals/RINO’S, No Despair.

I noticed that Rove was a little less critical of Perry on that show…like he walked it back a little. Once we knew that his former Manager of Crossroads was working for Mitt….the gig was up. He’s for Romney and that is it.

He went on to criticize Perry on the Fed. Excuse me…but I will say it…the Fed’s action are treasonous …not “almost” treasonous. While we thought we we bailing out the banks to the tune of $800 billion…in the back rooms of the FED offices they bailed out to the tune of $16 trillion….WITH A ‘T’ FOLKS. So…here it is..links and all:

Audit of the Federal Reserve Reveals $16 Trillion in Secret Bail Outs
July 21st, 2011

The first ever GAO(Government Accountability Office) audit of the Federal Reserve was carried out in the past few months due to the Ron Paul, Alan Grayson Amendment to the Dodd-Frank bill, which passed last year. Jim DeMint, a Republican Senator, and Bernie Sanders, an independent Senator, led the charge for a Federal Reserve audit in the Senate, but watered down the original language of the house bill (HR1207), so that a complete audit would not be carried out. Ben Bernanke (pictured to the left), Alan Greenspan, and various other bankers vehemently opposed the audit and lied to Congress about the effects an audit would have on markets. Nevertheless, the results of the first audit in the Federal Reserve’s nearly 100 year history was posted on Senator Sanders webpage earlier this morning.

What was revealed in the audit was startling: $16,000,000,000,000.00 had been secretly given out to US banks and corporations and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland. From the period between December 2007 and June 2010, the Federal Reserve had secretly bailed out many of the world’s banks, corporations, and governments. The Federal Reserve likes to refer to these secret bailouts as an all-inclusive loan program, but virtually none of the money has been returned and it was loaned out at 0% interest. Why the Federal Reserve had never been public about this or even informed the United States Congress about the $16 trillion dollar bailout is obvious” the American public would have been outraged to find out that the Federal Reserve bailed out foreign banks while Americans were struggling to find jobs.

To place $16 trillion into perspective, remember that GDP of the United States is only $14.12 trillion. The entire national debt of the United States government spanning its 200+ year history is $14.5 trillion. The budget that is being debated so heavily in Congress and the Senate is only $3.5 trillion. Take all of the outrage and debate over the $1.5 trillion deficit into consideration, and swallow this Red pill: There was no debate about whether $16,000,000,000,000 would be given to failing banks and failing corporations around the world.

In late 2008, the TARP Bailout bill was passed and loans of $800 billion were given to failing banks and companies. That was a blatant lie considering the fact that Goldman Sachs alone received 814 billion dollars. As is turns out, the Federal Reserve donated $2.5 trillion to Citigroup, while Morgan Stanley received $2.04 trillion. The Royal Bank of Scotland and Deutsche Bank, a German bank, split about a trillion and numerous other banks received hefty chunks of the $16 trillion.

This is a clear case of socialism for the rich and rugged, you’re-on-your-own individualism for everyone else.“ Bernie Sanders(I-VT)

When you have conservative Republican stalwarts like Jim DeMint(R-SC) and Ron Paul(R-TX) as well as self-identified Democratic socialists like Bernie Sanders all fighting against the Federal Reserve, you know that it is no longer an issue of Right versus Left. When you have every single member of the Republican Party in Congress and progressive Congressmen like Dennis Kucinich sponsoring a bill to audit the Federal Reserve, you realize that the Federal Reserve is an entity onto itself, which has no oversight and no accountability.

Americans should be swelled with anger and outrage at the abysmal state of affairs when an unelected group of bankers can create money out of thin air and give it out to megabanks and super-corporations like Halloween candy. If the Federal Reserve and the bankers who control it believe that they can continue to devalue the savings of Americans and continue to destroy the US economy, they will have to face the realization that their trillion dollar printing presses can be stopped with five dollars-worth of bullets.

The list of institutions that received the most money from the Federal Reserve can be found on page 131 of the GAO Audit and are as follows..

Citigroup: $2.5 trillion ($2,500,000,000,000)
Morgan Stanley: $2.04 trillion ($2,040,000,000,000)
Merrill Lynch: $1.949 trillion ($1,949,000,000,000)
Bank of America: $1.344 trillion ($1,344,000,000,000)
Barclays PLC (United Kingdom): $868 billion ($868,000,000,000)
Bear Sterns: $853 billion ($853,000,000,000)
Goldman Sachs: $814 billion ($814,000,000,000)
Royal Bank of Scotland (UK): $541 billion ($541,000,000,000)
JP Morgan Chase: $391 billion ($391,000,000,000)
Deutsche Bank (Germany): $354 billion ($354,000,000,000)
UBS (Switzerland): $287 billion ($287,000,000,000)
Credit Suisse (Switzerland): $262 billion ($262,000,000,000)
Lehman Brothers: $183 billion ($183,000,000,000)
Bank of Scotland (United Kingdom): $181 billion ($181,000,000,000)
BNP Paribas (France): $175 billion ($175,000,000,000)
and many more including banks in Belgium of all places

after divorcing his wife before the start of the coming election, Karl Rove has nothing left to lose, in my opinion.

Everything’s about a paying job, especially in this economy. Especially when he’s gotta compete with citizen journalists and bloggy commentators.

Then again, maybe he’s just jealous because Perry has better hair.

In my view, Rove “marginalized” himslf by not backing O’Donnell and Angle. He has taken the position that only HE knows who is electable. I think the only reason he called them unelectable was because they had the backbone to not allow him to call the shots and hew to his way. He stood by Bush, or maybe advised Bush, when Bush was making all the mistakes on fiscal matters and national security. The things Obama has done is take the Bush mistakes and multiply by 10, while adding his own mistakes.

Give me a break. This talking head assured GW he did not need to respond to the most vicious attacks on any President since Lincoln as I understand it [Rove on Hannity].

Note to Conservative Republicans from a life long Adam Smith [invisible hand] Conservative: RINOs have always eaten their children.

karl can take direct and absolute credit for Harry Reid being back in the Senate and also for Delaware losing the seat to a Democrat. He also can take credit for John McCain being back in the senate as well. When you consider that both of the Bushes and now Jeb Bush has been rumored they are all RINO’s. George H W Bush is the Biggest mistake that Ronald Reagan ever made. I can see how he needed him in the first election but he could have won the second election with me as his VP choice. At this point in History I can’t imagine that anyone would vote for another Bush within 100 years. Karl is viscous and vile when it comes to conservatives. No one in the GOP should give him any credence at all. If the GOP fails next fall to elect a Republican to the White House you can be sure it will be because of Karl Rove and his internal attacks on the Party. I shook his hand once and wanted to count my fingers when i got my hand back. I just can’t say enough about how big a J e r k he is.
