(AP) White House adviser Karl Rove speaks at the Republican Party's annual fundraising dinner in...

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - White House adviser Karl Rove said Monday that Republicans facing midterm elections should campaign on the economy's strength and discuss the war in Iraq with no qualms.

"We have no excuses to make for it," Rove said during a fundraising dinner for New Hampshire Republicans. War supporters need not apologize for removing the threat of Saddam Hussein, and with so much work left to do, now is not the time to talk about leaving Iraq, he said.

Rove said Democrats pushing for the withdrawal of American troops should be the ones facing tough questions for wanting to "cut and run." He targeted Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha, both Democrats and vocal supporters of getting out of Iraq.

"They are profoundly wrong," he said.

5. Some people will say anything to make a dime.
Guess he didn't know the stockmarket is taking a dive. Probably hadn't found out that the UAW is preparing the brethren and sisters for a sh*tload of givebacks. And he doesn't know about the housing market. Great economy to run on, Rethugs. Have at it.
