I may have never agreed with Karl Rove before but it was WONDERFUL to see the look on Hannity's face when he accurately skewered the new candidate from Delaware, and then listen to Rush Limbaugh wail on his radio show.

Rove REALLY made it personal though, and raised some great questions that the media would have overlooked and you'd of needed to search a progressive blog to find out about.

Good goin' Turd Blossom.

lol... Rove will now probably be called a RINO and accused of being part of the "liberal media".

Rove was unapologetic concerning TARP. That alone makes him a RINO. The rest is just RINO gravy.

Oh lord. So Rove was already considered a RINO more than a year ago? When will Palin be labeled a RINO? At this rate, I'm guessing it'll happen within the next few months. Certainly, if she runs for President, she's going to come out with some views that are moderate, which will inevitably lead to her being called a RINO.

lol... Oh man. So, his criticism of O'Donnell earns him the label of RINO for what reason? Because he's daring to say that she's not a good candidate?

Um no, just only the DEFINITION of R, trying to drag the GOP out of the ICU. WTG T-Bloss!

But you scorn this?

"It does conservatives little good to support candidates who at the end of the day, while they may be conservative in their public statements, do not evince the characteristics of rectitude and truthfulness and sincerity and character that the voters are looking for."

In specific no, but it continues his pattern on FoxNews of opposing the conservative base of the Republican Party. Plus he's not just saying she's a bad candidate he's knocking people who voted for her because now he doesn't think the Republicans can win the seat. People with principles would hold with them even if they knew they'd lose, but Rove isn't like that.

Rove is the worst kind of politician because he only cares if he wins. He has no principles. If Obama would have run as a Republican in 2008 Rove would have backed him. Of course Obama can call himself a Republican, but that wouldn't make it so. However, it would not matter to Rove, and thus he's RINO.

What do you think of Christine O'Donnell's "rectitude and truthfulness and sincerity and character"?

Got no problem with it, since she's not a RINO?
