Nuclear war over Rove´s
claims to work for Reagan;
Gipper biographer says no

Washington Examiner, by Paul Bedard

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 2/8/2013 3:24:18 PM

The war of words between conservatives and former Bush advisor Karl Rove has gone nuclear, this time over Rove´s claim that he worked for Ronald Reagan´s 1980 campaign and on a Reagan advisory board. The bottom line: While Rove told The O´Reilly Factor Thursday that he worked for the Gipper, Reagan´s acclaimed biographer Craig Shirley says there´s no evidence to back Rove up. Worse: In an email Shirley is sending to conservative leaders, he reveals that Rove backed former President Ford in 1976 and in 1980 worked for former Texas governor who didn´t back Reagan until after he was nominated.

Comments:
This is really starting to get ugly. I hate to see terrible fighting within the party. We have to unite to beat the Democrats.

Mark Levin was THERE. He never saw hide nor hair of what´s-his-name. Levin would at least have known somebody who would have known of Rove. Rove lies and this is hardly the first time. Rove looking more desperate every day, trying to rebuild some cred so he can attract some big $$$$ donors.

Rove does look desperate, and he deserves it.

Maybe Karl can get a photoshooped picture of President Reagan and himself made at the same lab that Obama uses.

Rove further exposed as the snake he has been...

God bless Shirley for this clarity... And confirming what Mark Levin said... [A true American hero who loves our Country and Constitution!]

Rove and ilk need to go... as does the inept RNC...

Bye-bye, Rove.

Good riddance.

Can´t happen soon enough.

It´s time for him and the Republican Party to get a divorce.

Unite behind what, indeed. It´s time to take off the gloves and if it has to start with our so-called ´ betters ´ then let´s get it over with asap. I guess there are those that have forgotten or completely missed the excitement from the early Tea Party days when we kicked liberal as well as RINO butt in 2010. Karl Rove is trying to erode that concept in the same way and for the same reason that the left does. Power.

I thought Levin´s claim to fame was that he worked for Nixon but quit in a huff.

Karl "Stupidhead" Rove

If they could just keep their stupidity inside the beltway I wouldn´t care. It would be like one of those reality shows I don´t watch - ridiculous, unreal, unentertaining, disconnected,etc.

Outside of Washington DC, there are books on the different forms of intelligence. I´ve read them. With Washingtonians constantly claiming to be smart, I´m at a loss as to what kind of smart that might be.

Perhaps there is a parallel reality out there that normal people can´t inhabit, much less understand. In the other reality reside politicians from the cities and counties, states and Feds.

Citizens aren´t allowed to witness, without a filter imposed by congress, the reality of politicians and their worker bees - they just wouldn´t understand.

Just how in, the case of the rovester, who is supposed to be so smart, could he believe he could lie about something available to his less than adoring public?

Some might say its arrogance. Maybe.

Some might say it doesn´t matter. Okay.

Whatever it is, I don´t find it wise.

Reince Priebus should NEVER have been reappointed.
Debbie washerwoman shultz was everywhere before the election, but WHO remembers Priebus?
He also lied to Mark Levin on National radio about giving money to Michele Bachmann´s re-election campaign. The RNC wanted to beat Bachmann..and would have been happy to have a democrat take her seat.
Snakes in the grass.

Rove was pretty young at the time, it´s entirely possible he worked to help get Reagan elected but not in an official capacity. Or a capacity that would go noticed.

This in-fighting is not helpful. But I will say this: Rove and his gang started it.

Then I would suggest to the OP that they and all the others who have wrinkled noses bent out of joint from all the "infighting" tell Rove and other moderate/RINO people within the RNC to shape up and learn how to play with others instead of trying to be the mean girls within the conservative movement. They started it, they had better learn to swallow the flack thats come back their way.

In politics, you can´t have power for long by winning primaries and losing general elections. People have forgotten that, in Georgia, hard right Republicans won primary after primary and lost General Election after General Election up and down the ticket. I´m a broken glass Republican but I´m honest enough to admit that it took a non-angry, moderate, former Democrat to win the Governor´s race and unleash Republican power in Georgia. The monopoly we now enjoy in both Houses and all Constitutional offices was initially delivered to us by the hated moderates, not my brothers and sisters of the rock-ribbed hard right.

The last two presidential elections the only people Republicans were willing to fight was other republicans, particularly those more conservative. Now, they howl for the conservatives to unite behind them. They are acting like democrats.

I stated earlier in another thread that this schism is unlikley to be bridged; now it looks like it is even wider. Rove has now been branded a liar by the royal court. It is a safe bet, however, he will never leave willingly; and he will continue to prevent the party having any chance to heal.

Psst, Costa Rica is looking better and better, along with a couple of other countries.

Rove worked on the GHW Bush 1980 campaign in a relatively high position. Don´t you think he would continue to work for the Reagan-Bush ticket in 1980 thus working for the head of the ticket?

Rove was on Hannity´s radio show this aftenoon repeating all that crap.

Why Hannity insists on having him on is beyond me.....

Karl Rove is a progressive cancer on the Republican Party and is not going away.

I´m hoping Sarah Palin, Col. West, Michelle Bachman Herman Cain, Rick Perry, Ted Cruz, Tim Scott, Rand Paul and other high profile conservatives ditch the Republican Party.

Actually, I believe I heard him say that when he worked in the Reagan administration it was as Chief of Staff to Bill Bennett at the DOE. So yeah, he would definitely know that Rove is lying.


Reply 25 - Posted by: bdog, 2/8/2013 9:05:22 PM     (No. 9166559)

I would think that anyone here who thinks Rove represents the conservative wing of the republican party, is in the wrong forum.

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa. "Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied. After Schock pressed him further, Miller explained that although

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

HHS:´Telework´ Gives Gov´t

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Bloodletting, in the form of firings, dismissals, resignation, and expulsions, is a tribal rite in political Washington. It is most often used by the powerful on anyone less powerful as a symbolic sacrifice. Steven Miller, the now former acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, is the latest victim of ritual sacrifice. This week the Obama White House demanded his resignation to demonstrate the president’s “anger” at news that the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for added review and slow approval. Next, we’ll watch as Congress takes up the bloodletting knife.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

On Thursday´s NBC Today, in a desperate attempt to deflect from the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, co-host Savannah Guthrie wondered: "I read a headline yesterday that said Republicans see blood in the water. That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever). When asked about the untrammeled snooping on Associated Press reporters and editors,

Appearing on Laura Ingraham‘s radio show this afternoon, Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume suggested some Republicans were “stupid” to consider impeachment of President Obama a viable response to the ongoing scandals regarding the Benghazi attacks, the IRS targeting of conservative groups, and the Justice Department secret seizure of AP phone records. Likely referring to some GOP lawmakers, including Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) who has put impeachment on the table as an option for handling the Benghazi fallout, Ingraham asked Hume to comment on how some Republican leaders have “ran to the microphone” to suggest removal
