Karl Rove, on why Bush won: "The president is in touch"
Rove is being questioned by guest host Jim Angle on "Special Report With Brit Hume," Nov. 5, 2004:



http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,137785,00.html

ANGLE: Now, the president won overwhelmingly with those who regularly attend religious services, and see moral values as an important part of their lives. Are Democrats out of touch on the issues that are of concern to those kinds of voters?

ROVE: Well, I think more importantly, the president is in touch. People of faith who are concerned about the coarseness of our society, about a culture that seems unfriendly to the vulnerable, the weak, and the young, who are concerned about there being a place in the public arena for people of faith, saw in the president somebody who shared their values. And so they responded to him accordingly.

- snip -

ANGLE: Will the president press the issue now and push for a constitutional amendment defining marriage?

ROVE: Well, look, the president has this old fashioned notion that when you run on something in a campaign, you attempt to do it in office. He ran in 1999 and 2000 on a certain series of issues, and once in office, pursued each and every one of those issues. I think the American people can have confidence that he treats the things that he said in the campaign as significant promises and pledges, which he will now attempt to fulfill.

ANGLE: So the answer is yes?

ROVE: Absolutely.

2. There he goes again!
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 04:48 AM by LynnTheDem
That's about the BIGGEST WHOPPER he's told yet!

The "COARSENESS of our society"???

As in Dick "GO FUCK YOURSELF" Cheney?

As in bush flipping the bird?

As in "BRING EM ON"?

As in "DEAD OR ALIVE"?

As in Commander Codpiece? Or George W. Cruise in TOP GUN at football stadiums?

As in FALAFAL and LOOFAHS?

ROTFLMAO!!!

4. I see the vulnerable and the weak everyday...
They hold up their cardboard signs at intersections, sometimes i give them money, sometimes I give them food and clothes, sometimes I ignore them. I've never had one tell me yet what they needed from me was my support for a constitutional ban on gay marriage.

This man and the people in charge of our government are truly demented, like there is something seriously wrong with their brains!

6. Pure spin.
Bush doesn't know any of the real people who populate the United States, just the upper crust.

8. The unelected prez is just plain touched...
The goals of this administration are unconstitutional.
That is twice now this nut case has gotten in without being lawfully elected. This country will be at least 8 years without a president.

That means:
More killing.
More thefts from those least likely to afford it to those most likely not to need it.
More spin, lies, fraud, greed. More murder of Innocent people in other lands to give them the same government as we used to have here.

What part of criminal activity is so hard for so many to understand?

When Ascroft quits, any bets on if the Blue Curtain comes down?
The only good I can see here is that we have 4 more years to investigate and indite and convict before the blanket pardons are issued.

The longer we let this go, the harder it will be to stop jeb bu$h in '08

14. you got to say one thing. the nazis had style at least
they would never be caught fat and ugly and sloppy like karl rove. they would have had to kill him as a child.


somewhere in brazil 1950.....

(nazi doctor) ahh, this baby. the brain is evil, true but the body is deformed.
(nazi scientist) can we save this exquisite evil brain and tranplant it into a superior body with a useless pacifist brain
(nazi doctor) we will try

operating room with saws and bloody doctors and 2 babies on a table.....

(nazi doctor on phone) im sorry herr fuhrer. we lost it. i know you had a lot of future hopes for that fantastically evil brain but it attacked and killed the new body.
(hitler) damninschnitzle.

10. The President is in touch with his penis
and Rove is in touch with Satan himself. THAT's why Bush* won.

MAY THE SCREAMS OF 100,000 Dead Iraqis HAUNT YOUR EVERY WAKING MOMENT, Rove.

MAY THE SCREAMS OF EVERY SOLDIER HAUNT YOUR EVERY SLeEPING MOMENT. THERE IS A BIG THRONE IN HELL WAITING FOR YOU, YOU BIG FAT WHITE GREEDY BLOODTHIRSTY LYING CONNIVING PIG.

11. It's about sexual inhibitions, he's saying
and I think he's probably right. When the media blasts sex on the news everyday because of Bush/Cheney, the other half of the country will want them out.

In fact, didn't it affect the polls when the media was showing those sickening prison photos?

22. Rove must be laughing his pasty
ass off at the stupidity of the masses -- the millions of morons he managed to convince that the chimp and cheney are decent human beings who think like they do, and millions of others - some even here on DU - who think this was a fair election.

When karma catches up with the little shithead, I want a front row seat.

17. Faith is the capacity to believe in what cannot possibly be true.
Now look at what * says. We know what HE says cannot possibly be true, but his followers believe him because they have faith in him. And I've been told that I should have faith in him.

Sorry, I prefer reality - where we've been and where we're going.

21. It's code for "touchscreen".. that fucker is gloating over the vote theft!
You really have to dig DEEP into Rove's fucked up, depraved, mentality to understand that line about Bush being "in touch". See.. Rove knows very well that Kerry and others realize the election was stolen thru the TOUCHscreen machines. Using that term is just a sublte "fuck you", "we got away with it", to those in the know. The presidential contest was not an election, it was a pissing contest between two Skull and Bonesers.. and a challenge to Rove, to see if they could steal it again. You have to think like a depraved, chinless, fuckhead, to get it. I seem to be channeling that morally depraved asshole this morning...

Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 11:35 AM by Straight Shooter
Doesn't that just absolutely crack you up?!!!

Rove, you idiot, I know you watch television just so you can see what appeals to the lowest common denominator.

Bwahahahahaha, he thinks we're stupid, he really does. He has us confused with bush supporters, a/k/a schlock straps.
