Sarah Palin took a shot at Karl Rove yesterday about him continually getting hired despite his losses, saying that if he feels so strongly about ‘who gets to run in this party’, that he should either go home or run for office. Karl Rove responded by saying that if he did run for office and won, he wouldn’t quit halfway through his term:

Nice unfair attack on Sarah Palin, Karl. Everyone who gives Sarah Palin an objective look knows that she was inundated with lawsuits after the 2008 campaign by her enemies and it just kept costing the state of Alaska more and more money. Soon, she felt she had become more of a liability to the state and resigned her post, doing once again what was best for Alaska.

And for cretins like Karl Rove to continually attack her for that is despicable in my book. What Sarah Palin said yesterday was true, that the losers in the party should just go home instead of using their influence to now try and attack people in GOP primaries just to make their donors happy. How many of these donors are like Matthew Dowd, Karl?

Go home, Karl Rove. Please, go home.

Karl Rove was never more accurately portrayed then when he was shown on American Dad as Stan Smiths campaign manager for Church Deacon. He was made out to be Satan. Come to think of it maybe the Bible Series currently on History Channel last Sunday did display BOTH American Satans....obama and rove.

The only thing Rove has is cheap shots because he has been heralded for far too long and without good reason as being some political "God" for giving us 8 yeas of the disaster called GW Jr.

Tell Coach "BellyAche" Rove that the 2nd American Revolution has ended!!! the American Patriots (48) the Washington Stealers( 52). ...Game over. We lost! the only one I know that can revive the brain dead  is  OUR FATHER!  We'll be ashes by 2016. Talk is cheap. Its hard to navigate a sea of B.S with nothing but experts running into each other. No ground troops!                                                                                Laus Deo,

Rove didn't last all of Bush's term in office, last time I looked.  

Also, he loves to sit there and gather a ton of money and piss it all away without being accountable for it.  That's not showing leadership, that's the Democrat party itself!

Is this the best "dough boy" could do??   Rove continues to prove over and over again what a POS he is.  The heat needs to stay on this joker because he is starting to get sloppy and defensive with his crap comments.  Palin did the same thing Gingrich did to save themselves from bankruptcy and from tax payer money.

Rove is just like Obama...spending other peoples' money while accomplishing nothing.  Loser!

And I'll bet if Sarah Palin were running the republican party, she wouldn't keep putting up moderate mushes like Dole, McCain and Romney.

I have respect for Rove, but there is absolutely no way he can say unequivocally that he would not finish his term of dogcatcher. I'm certain that if a higher duty called (in his mind) he would abandon that position as fast as those pet owners abandoned their occupying pets (I won't respect them by calling them pets). Any occupier can feel free to leave anytime, even those holed up in OUR White House.

 Didn't Karl Rove get President Bush to capitulate on just about everything to the Democrats after the Democrats won the House and the Senate in 2006?

It would have been better had Karl Rove resigned in 2006 and moved to the Arctic Circle instead of him making himself "Queen for a Day" as Mark Levin calls him and attacking the only fighting chance John McLame had to win in 2008, Sarah Palin.

Didn't he give us Charlie Crist in Florida and now he's shoving Jeb Bush down our throats?

Quitting the GOP and the Big Whigs like Rove and becoming an independent is feeling better and better everytime I listen to this "low-information" strategist speak.

Pat Caddell pegged his sorry butt to the wall on what's happened to the GOP at the top of the party.

Aha... Karl Rove proves her point by being an ass.

Only a punk would take a cheap shot at someone who is more or less on the same side. Karl needs to go away. He's the cancer that is killing Republicans - and America... because as long as he remains behind the green curtain, pulling strings and attacking conservatives... liberals, liars and thieves keep getting elected.

Karl Rove is really bad for this country. Seal yourself up with your millions in a hole somewhere and just shut up.
