Rove to GOP: Don't grow 'tired or timid'
By Deb Riechmann, Associated Press Writer | February 17, 2005

WASHINGTON -- Karl Rove, President Bush's top political strategist, on Thursday pronounced conservatism the "dominant political creed in America" and coached fellow conservatives on how to support his boss.

"The next time one of your smarty-pants liberal friends says to you, `Well, he didn't have a mandate,' you tell him of this delicious fact: This president got a higher percentage of the vote than any Democratic candidate for president since 1964," Rove said.

(snip)

Bush is the first president since Franklin Roosevelt to be re-elected while his party gained seats in the House and Senate, Rove continued. But he also cautioned his conservative supporters that they must not become complacent with the 2004 victory.

"Conservatism is the dominant political creed in America," Rove said, adding that more needed to be done.

1. "smarty-pants liberal"

:eyes:

[Vincardog]

2. The theft was greater than ever before in history.

[LinuxInsurgent]

3. Apathetic Idiocy

is the dominant creed of America...always has been...at the end of the day...most Americans either DON'T CARE, or DON'T KNOW.

That's America's DOMINANT creed: Apathetic Idiocy. There's other creeds...and DU represents another strain in American society...but the majority of the people practice Apathetic Idiocy, in one way or another.

[Anakin Skywalker]

13. I Agree.

A lot of voters are too lazy to do their own research on issues and candidates. They were largely led (or misled, depending on how one sees it) into voting for Shrub on Rovian propaganda. Many are close-minded and absolutely refuse to read anything that might contradict their rosy vision of their beloved preznit.

[yorkiemommie1]

27. well i know folks at my work....

go right past the front pages to the sports pages and only quote what they hear on hate radio. won't read the foreign press because it 'makes us look bad'.

[PST]

4. Saddam used to have big mandates as well n/t

[glitch]

5. for a nice antidote to this: listen to Thom Hartmann today

streaming mp3 at http://www.whiterosesociety.org/ He talks about the latest Freeman report which estimates 8 million votes switched in the election fraWd.
In other words, Kerry really won by 5 million votes. Which makes * the biggest loser ever? Don't know. Who else has lost the presidency by more than 5 million votes? And a "war time" president at that.
Brilliant boy rove was bailed out by the chrisitan reconstructionists, bigtime.
We'll see how they repay them that little favor over the next few years.
Apparently, without the benefit of evolution, once a loser always a loser.

[zann725]

17. Question IS...why does Rove remind us NOW of Shrub's Mandate/Victory?

This is REAL old news. Unless of course, Rove's "genius" feels an URGENT need to RE-spin Shrub's huge victory NOW. Why? Only if he fears that the blogosphere's recent victories at getting the Truth out...is also gaining ground at "illegitimizing" Shrub's victory, by the Facts of widespread EF.

Let him keep spinning his "delicious" lies. As any spinning top proves, eventually the spin wears down, and topples the top to its side.

[glitch]

18. So true - his spewage is a good sign. For US! nt

[Straight Shooter]

6. Don't grow tired or timid, but by all means remain ignorant and gullible.

:nuke:

[fasttense]

7. Yeah, Rove gets all these wonderful sound bites.

And we get attacks on Dean. Oh the different ways to lie and manipulate from the corporate media continually amaze me.

[David K.]

46. Aren't we getting fed up with all the diversionary rhetoric these days?

What's YOUR favorite Republican phrase?

[applegrove]

8. Rove makes up the whole dialogue - what does he need reality for?

[Edgewater_Joe]

9. " ... or I'll b**tf**k all of you with a BROOMSTICK!"

Oh, wait, they might ENJOY that ...

[Dover]

10. Also the first Republican to be caught STEALING votes.

First Coup
First overt breach of the Constitution
First to be uniformly hated by the world
First to change U.S. foreign policy doctrine to one of aggression/assassination
First to attempt to OWN all vital channels of communication
....ETC!

Definitely the first and hopefully the LAST.

11. Suckers driving pickup trucks and giving their money to the wealthy,

I think the dominant creed is Stupidity.

12. FUCK THAT FAT NAZI !

[Binka]

16. Rove Is Like Cabbage

He stinks and he repeats.

[susu369]

22. LOL - there may be a lot of delicious facts about a MANdate

in the near future, Mr. Gold CuffLinks Rove.

[Zerex71]

19. Then remind your dumb-ass conservative challenger

that number is higher only because they were forced to resort to vote fraud tactics such as lies, coercion, vote manipulation, and deliberantly errant software, so it's a non-starter for anyone with a logical brain.

These cretins are only acting this way because they are a sick, dying breed.

20. The Sociopathic leader speeks to his flock.

[truthisfreedom]

21. parse that comment:"this president got a higher percentage of the vote..."

[ausiedownunderground]

23. This is the Pilsbury Doughboy's code for "Bring it on" liberal Blogger Mac

[neuvocat]

24. That's one way of saying: "no rest for the wicked.

Otherwise you'll get whipped and whipped hard."

[Piperay]

25. "smarty-pants liberal"...

oh GROW UP and quit talking like a 10 year old (not to insult 10 olds)! :wtf:

[applegrove]

28. "smarty-pants" speaking directly to people over the age of 40

[solinvictus]

26. The only "man date" Rove has experience with..

is Jeff Gannon.

[jazzjunkysue]

29. Ya mean like Stalin and Hitler's mandates?

44, sucker. You're numbers are falling faster than Gannon's pants.

[yorkiemommie1]

30. WE shouldn't get tired or timid!

31. "Conservatism is the dominant political creed in America"

Nazi Rove said:

"Conservatism is the dominant political creed in America."

HAHAHAHA! You wish, turd-blossom!

---

"Prosperity is just around the corner." -- Herbert Hoover
"The economy has turned a corner." -- GW Bush

Herbert Hoover = GW Bush

Neither man cared about the Depression their economic policies created.

[SaveAmerica]

Didn't Kerry also get more votes than any other election winner?

I think he needs a different ruler when he stands up to measure stuff.

[kikiek]

44. Yes he did. High voter turnout. 3rd party didn't take many. Once again

Rove is trying to confuse the facts. Only works with the right wing dead heads. Outcome was almost 50/50, and that is with voter suppression. He can say it all he wants. Won't make it come true.

47. I like this one too

[flaminbats]

36. perhaps it would be less timid to stab these friends in the back..

wouldn't it be more classy welcoming liberal friends into the party? :hug:

[ArnoldLayne]

37. ArnoldLayne to Rove and Republicans they can suck on

my 7" Juicy Italian sausage that's hanging heavy for which ever one what's it.

[LostinRed]

38. He's wrong

The fact is, the more American's know about an issue, the majority support the liberal view. I remember reading and Newsweek article right before the election and it had more American's agreeing with John Kerry positions on things than Bush.(I'm too tired to Google it, but I'm sure with a little research someone can find the article). That point is Democrat's don't get their message across but when we do more American's agree with us than with them.

[callous taoboy]

42. I agree with Rove. They should dry up instead. n/t

[applegrove]

43. " tired or timid" is how he 'reframes' the utopian delusional neocons

What a total ***hole. Just when the gop was finally coming back down to earth and getting worried about the economy, peace, how to really stop terrorists, out come the Shepherd to 'reframe' things.

[SomewhereOutThere424]

45. Conservatism...

SO dominant it needs a pep talk!
