"Republicans have a post-9/11 view of the world. And Democrats have a pre-9/11 view of the world,"..........That doesn't make them unpatriotic, not at all. But it does make them wrong -- deeply and profoundly and consistently wrong."
"The GOP's progress during the last four decades is a stunning political achievement. But it is also a cautionary tale of what happens to a dominant party -- in this case, the Democrat Party -- when its thinking becomes ossified; when its energy begins to drain; when an entitlement mentality takes over; and when political power becomes an end in itself rather than a mean to achieve the common goal."
"We need to learn from our successes.......and from the failures of others."
What the F----? Why don't you try learning from your own failures. There's a lot of material there Mr. Rove.
Update
Howard Dean responded to Rove's statements today. The Washington post story about Rove's speech included a response from the Democratic Party Chairman.
Democrats were quick to respond, with Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean challenging Rove's fitness to serve. "Karl Rove only has a White House job and a security clearance because President Bush has refused to keep his promise to fire anyone involved in revealing the identity of an undercover CIA operative," Dean said in a statement. Dean added: "The truth is, Karl Rove breached our national security for partisan gain and that is both unpatriotic and wrong."
Rove's unusual ability to really believe his own lies is a quality that I think develops in people who live well into adulthood as deeply closeted homosexuals!
ReplyDeleteI think the same thing happens to pedophile priests.
It's overcompensation and the need to always be right!
And Rove's not the only one in this group currently running the Republican Party!
