Rove: "We're the people that believe the small guy gets screwed"

http://www.mercurynews.com/centralcoast/ci_12295853

<snip>

Speaking to reporters at the Panetta Institute, Rove pressed what's becoming his increasingly routine critique of the new Democratic administration, saying Obama has already abandoned his campaign pledges and insisting voters would soon fall back upon the promise of the Republican flag.

"We're the people that believe the small guy gets screwed," Rove said.

2. If you're Rove you can afford to throw shit against the wall.
If it doesn't stick, just go onto the next one.

9. Must be nice to have a job like that. No accountability, no rationality,
no one to call you on your BS.

Not that I would like to actually do that.

5. Bullshit! Bullshit!
Edited on Tue May-05-09 10:36 AM by Initech
Under the Bush administration, the small guy got screwed no matter what. The image of the robber baron CEO became the new norm and we all continued to get screwed.

Democrats = party of the people
Republicans = party of go fuck yourself, dumbass

7. No, WE are not the people who believe that.
Reeps, conservatives, banks, and corporations do.

Liberals believe that they are born to serve others
and rule themselves. They believe that all humans
are created equal and deserve the unalienable right
to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

17. "...and we're the ones doing the screwing!"
"Fuck the little guy, those ignorant in-bred snake-handlers! If they're too stupid to realize that all we do is use them and then kick them to the curb, well, they deserve the fleecing we give them!"

19. Of course they believe that. They are the ones who are making sure it happens.
It's one of their self-fulfilling prophesies.

35. You thought that in 2008, Karl--it didn't happen then either.
Your denial of stark reality is really quite amusing.
