Why we can't out-Rove Rove:

[smartvoter]

Because our side isn't that f***ing stupid!!!

[Psephos]

1. If we're so smart, why aren't we prevailing in elections?

Maybe we should out-Rove Rove. Just a thought.

Peace.

[walldude]

2. Because we are also honest..... n/t

[Psephos]

3. I'm with you there. n/t

[blm]

10. Because if any Dem pulled 10% of what Rove does, they'd be in jail.

When you control most of the broadcast media, you get to control what the public THINKS you're doing and what the public THINKS your opponent is doing.

11. What I mean by this is no one could say "God" and get us to roll over.nt

4. Our "dirty tricks " dept went out of business years ago..........

what we need are some old school Democrats to reactivate it. It would be a counter-counter dirty tricks dept.

5. We play fair

We expect too much from people and try to appeal to thier better nature. We are on the lightside of the force it stronger but its slower. Rove uses the anger fear and violence the darkside of force. It's not stronger its quicker and more seductive. In other words the Repugs cant win a fair fight that's why they dont fight fair.

6. EXACTLY what I was thinking while waiting for the thread.

I'm so sick & tired of the "rove is brilliant" myth.

The entire bush Cabal are THE most incompetent stupid blithering morans EVER. We have all the evidence of that we need (or want!).

Question is; how can so many AMERICANS be so damned stupid, immoral, ignorant???

7. The culture of Fear

They're afraid of clonning, they're afraid of terrorism, they're afraid of gblt people. Fear factor is a top rated show. Fear drives people to do stupid things. Fortunately fear and the responsers cant last forever. Case in point do you know why we haven't had a terror alert because the conditioning was wearring off.

That is why the repubs want the news to focus on murdered kids to keep the prolifers going. And that is why they want to ram the runaway bride down are throats. They wont to scare women to stay with thier husbands.

Karl Rove is not an genius. He's an idiot savant that knows how to exploit fear. And that is why they'll never capture osama or bring our sons and daughters in uniform.

8. Rove is nothing but a two bit snake-oil salesman who's fooling America

...and laughing all the way to the bank, along with his fellow Rethugs. And that's how history will remember them all: as common criminals, and the masses they duped.

[no_hypocrisy]

9. I decided a while ago that we should be going after Rove, not *.

You know the strategy: cut off the head.
