Karl Rove: Obama Won 'By Suppressing The Vote'

[tyroneweaver]

Ole Turd Blossom really seems to have a math problem. He's like Jethro Bodine from The Beverly Hillbillies. He's got a ciphering problem...

ya but the difference between jethro bodine and obama is jethro has an original thought.

 

[blackhawk]

blackhawk, that is what he said.

I have watched that video from the OP link a half dozen times he does not say that now if you have a link with a video of him saying that please post it. It might say that in the headline above the video but in that clip with Rove and Kelly he does not say that. If he said that at earlier or later point in the interview let's see it but he does not say that in the clip provided

So you only believe people say things if you see them on video.

If you never saw this video below, you would have forever refused to believe what you didn't want to believe.

Ok he used the words suppressing the vote in that clip which is different from the one posted by the OP. Now looking at what he said after those words was anything untrue? Did Obama demonize and vilify Romney? Did he not pretty much tell people even though your not thrilled with me this guy will be so much worse? Is that stuff typical politics yes but again was anything he said after suppressing the vote in describing what Obama did untrue?

The term "suppressing the vote" means voter suppression through the actions of the state.

Not through a candidate's comments.

Karl Rove tried to rip off a term that got some traction from the Dems and Gretchen looked him as if he was fool.

rove is 'excusing' himself to obsolescence.

go hard !!

Does anyone really expect Karl Rove to stand up like a man and assume responsibility for his actions?

Who is Rove? Just some talking head. Lefties have theirs, righties have theirs. None make policy. Move on.

Mitt Romney lost the election because President Barack Obama engaged in voter suppression, according to Republican political strategist Karl Rove.

"He succeeded by suppressing the vote," Rove said in an interview on Fox News with anchor Megyn Kelly on Thursday afternoon, "by saying to people, 'You may not like who I am and I know you can't bring yourself to vote for me, but I'm going to paint this other guy as simply a rich guy who only cares about himself.'"

Rove didn't actually give any examples of ways in which Obama made it harder for people to exercise their constitutional right at the polls -- things like voter ID laws, which have been pushed by GOP legislatures around the country. In fact, Obama specifically said in his victory speech that it was unfair that people had to wait in line for hours to vote, which occurred in part because Republicans reduced the time period for early voting.

Karl Rove really is in need of a dictionary.

As are most conservatives.

Oh bullshit.

Rove was as involved in Policy as the PNAC, ALEC, the Chamber of Commerce and Norquist.

They practically write the legislation that goes to congress.

Go on.

I am sure you can find a "pledge" that Democratic Congressional members signed, like Norquist's pledge.

Should be easy.

Let's be clear. Are you removing all those other "influences" you listed as directly affecting policy with a known link and just offering up the Norquist one alone?

And on the Norquist pledge are you inferring that the members who signed it were under some spell by the non-policy maker Rove?

A FInal Letter To Mitt Romney | Liberals Unite

I didn’t vote against you for any of those reasons because, I didn’t vote against anybody.
I voted for someone.

See Mitt, Paul, it’s not you… It’s him.
I did not vote against you.
I voted for Barack Obama.
I voted for Joe Biden.
I voted for Michelle and Sasha and Malia.
I voted in favor of my self and my spouse and our sons and our future.
I voted in favor of the best tomorrow for America available.
You can blame polls, and weather events, and skewed electoral votes and biased media and urban minorities who supposedly want free stuff till you actually turn into the slow moving regressive elephants who represent you if you wish but no manipulating the facts.
You lost not because you are losers but because Barack is a winner.

The GOP followed Roves strategery for the last two elections and were both disasters, the worst one being the last one.

He has no ideas, only favors owed to him. He has no principles, only long mailing lists of people too daft to realize what a fucktard he is.

Karl Rove is irrelevant and slow poison for the GOP.

 

[skye]

Karl Rove is wrong.

Obama won because he gave 4 years of more entitlements... free phones, freebies , you know .... and such.

It isnt that simple.

The way each cast the other, the choice seemed to be between Fabian Socialism on one hand and 'vulture capitalism'n the other.

In such cases Fabian Socialism always wins.

Romney had no core, except to make money the Bain way and no one much liked that outside the GOP, and not even all of them.
