Rove on Mayoral Experience

When did the truth ever get between the Republican party and voters? Like weapons of mass destruction, the outing of Valerie Plume, and the pillage of the Justice Department under Alberto Gonzales, the truth never really seems to matter. It's all about spin and winning the next election. Leadership? Well, they always point to Ronald Reagan for that, a man who raised taxes 6 times as President and signed a very liberal abortion rights bill as Governor of California.

Bob, the point of Palin's line on the bridge is not did she support it or not, but that she somehow stood up to congress. The press keeps asking 'did she support it?' instead of 'did she stand up to congress?'. She's trying to build her cred as gutsy, and the press is acting like they dont understand the whole point. The fact is she never said anything to congress, the entire story is an out-and-out fabrication, and they let her get away with it by pretending they dont get the real point of the whole thing.

"...he's never run a city, never run a state, never run a business. He's never had to lead people in crisis."
--Rudy Guiliani, about Obama

"...has never run a city, never run a state, never run a government. He has never been responsible as a mayor for the safety and security of millions of people... "
--Rudy Guiliani, about McCain

Stewart is not making fun of Rove here, he's making fun of the press that lets him get away with stuff like this.

spock,

Don't be afraid of people that you wheel out to prove your humanity.

spock,

Yeah the same way that Gulliani dismissed McCains 95% Bush voting record as mostly on irrelevant procedural issues.

Which way do you want to have it?

So Karl Rove is touting the experience of big old Wasilla and running down little ole Richmond? Sounds like a fool that would lose his own e-mails to me.

megan - you asked that of someone that has been on a ticket for 1 day shouldn't you be asking

Barack Hussein Obama stop avoiding the questions you are not above anyone. The American people have a right to known your positions.

jhw539 - sorry to burst you bubble but he was only present 186 times, and out of that he voted present 130 times
and one of the votes he did was against saving babies lives because it would be an inconvenience!

I think we all know Karl said prior to the November, 2006 that he, and he alone, had access to the "real" math and Republicans would win.

Wasilla is the "second largest city in Alaska." Richmond "is not that big a town." So I guess you could say of Fox and Newsweek, their decision to choose Karl Rove means they were not that concerned about accurately informing their viewers and readers.

"I expect to see lots of Old and Tired Elephants in drag with lipstick and high heels."

You live in San Francisco?

Sarah Palin stop avoiding the questions you are not above anyone. The American people have a right to known your positions.

SOWHAT: Actually, Troopergate is a credible ethics investigation into whether she used her position to have her ex-brother-in-law fired.

Rumors about her daughter, I agree, should be off limits but if she is going to parade her daughter and the hockey papa in the media, which they have done, then it's safe to say that it should be fair game.

As for her ability to be VP when she has a special needs infant, I think that's a very viable concern. It was enough of a concern for Republicans when John Edwards put his campaign ahead of his wife's cancer in 2004.

In the end, we're not going to change each others minds but you do have to stop blaming the media. The media is not the problem. It's the 8 years of the Bush administration as well as the 6 years of Republican rule that are the problem.

Did everybody notice that the RNC used a fake funeral with actors this week in one of their videos?

Republicans can't deal with realities.

Does McCain really think they only have to put some lipstick on their failed policies?

And that's change?

Cartoonists will have a field day with that. I expect to see lots of Old and Tired Elephants in drag with lipstick and high heels.

People will soon realize that underneath that drag, there's still that elephant

Be back..off to email Oprah..

Oprah receives more than 1 million emails each and every day. I am sure yours will stand out, though LOL!

Be back..off to email Oprah..

John McCain and Sarah Palin don't want to address issues for any of us. Not once was the economy discussed at Republican Convention!! Do they think about average workers??? Today News releases Friday - reach worst levels -worst foreclosures increase, increase in unemployment to 6.1% and is now at highest has been for five years, gasoline rising, electricity cost heating cost up, largest national debt in history of US

QUESTION - Do Republicans care??
John McCain and President Bush recent statments - feel economy stable or shows some improvement
ANSWER: No!!! Never even addressed economy at National Convention!! Whole convention more geared towards no mention of issue - more attention to John McCain's war record and his experience. AND MEDIA ATTENTION ON SARAH PALIN, KARL ROVE DID THIS FOUR YEARS AGO TO TAKE NEWS OFF BUSH.

COMMUNITY FUNDRAISERS
John McCain and Sarah Palin have made statement at convention and again today.
They feel and state common prople are nothing and do nothing. Sarah shame on you!!!!! YOU ARE NOW "THE ELITE" since you are Vice Presidential Candidate!!

BIG PITCH - REGULAR COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS WHO HELP PEOPLE OR ASSIST THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES DON'T DO ANYTHING!! COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY NOR DO THEY SHOW LEADERSHIP SKILLS.

I know exactly what these two think!!! Sarah is new - all has gone to her head - "TOO GOOD NOW FOR REGULAR PEOPLE" And she slams us!! Sarah Palin is now the new "ELITIST" who joined John McCain the old "ELITIST" who can't even remember how many houses he owns.

From a 63 yo white college educated medical professional woman who is registered Republican!! Widowed with two adult married children. I am so disappointed. How dare these two and Republican Party say this about us at the grassroots level!! And your lack of interest in/for the average person. Neither of you mentioned anything about economy at convention!! You don't care!! Both I have found care about more about oil and corporations interests!!

EVERYONE - YES I HAVE A RIGHT TO CRITICIZE SARAH PALIN WITHOUT CLAIMS OF BEING "SEXIST." THESE ARE ISSUES, NOT GENDER RELATED! AND I AM A WOMAN! NATION HAS MAJPOR PROBLEMS! THESE TWO INSULTED/ARE NOT OUT TO HELP AVERAGE AMERICANS!!

RE: Spoken like someone who has never helped out another human being one day in her life.

I certainly think staying after church and seeking some guidance on being tolerate is a good thing.

ABC News has exclusively learned that Alaska Senator Hollis French will announce today that he is moving up the release date of his investigation into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her office to get the Alaska public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, fired. The results of the investigation were originally scheduled for release Oct. 31 but will now come almost three weeks earlier, according to sources.

2. Did not Bush attend two Ivy Leagues colleges, including Harvard?
