Barack's Brilliant Ground Game by Karl Rove

No, no, no. With a spoon, you twit. It'll hurt more.

They all lie. I like Obama, but they all lie. The further from the general election the bigger the lies, thus the regression to the center from both sides. They lie to get the nomination, then they lie to get elected, then they tell themselves that it's OK that they lied, because they had to to get themselves into the position to do even almost or a rough approximation of what they said they'd do. If they hadn't lied, they say, then someone else would be doing even worse things than the things they lied about saying they were going to do, but didn't.

Politics 101

I'm sure there had to be one politician sometime in history who didn't lie but I honestly can't think of any examples. I have no doubt the vast, vast majority of them lie when ever it is convenient.

This just in: Washington flip-flops; denies chopping down cherry tree.

Washington never claimed to have chopped down a cherry tree. That little story was made up by one of my ancestors, Parson Weems, in his biography of Washington. Washington also made no claim of tossing a coin over the Potomac.

Great-great-great grandpa was an awful liar.

One is delusional if they don't think that Bush's ground game wasn't substantial in winning the election. Hell, it was substantial in the Florida mess (if one remembers the Republicans pounding on the doors of one of the recount centers).

There's still time!

That was my basic reaction too. Rove is trying to claim credit for something he was absolutely uninvolved in even tangentially.

It's more than that. Rove is deperate to avoid being remembered as the guy who foisted the worst post-WWII president on America AND turned the GOP into a minority party for at least a generation. So he's also essentially saying, "hey, I didn't do anything Obama hasn't done."

Nice try, Karl.

The Dems still have plenty of time to screw up the election.

They already had excellent try with primaries. I think they can be counted on it.

Barrack Obama is a politician, just like any other policitian he does what works. If he has to give a blow job to Rupaul to win a certain percentage of the votes, he'll do it!

They're all the same

That explains why he came out against the invasion of Iraq when it was still wildly poplular.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Because it was wildly popular in big Democrat enclaves like Obama was running in?
