Karl Rove, President and King Maker

You know how you hate dirty political politics such as George Bush campaign declaring that John McCain had a black child in the South Carolina primary contest a few years ago that derailed the McCain campaign. It was nasty, it was a vicious lie and it worked for Bush. It’s back! Even though Karl Rove is a political commentator for Fox News, he is contributing strategy to the McCain campaign and it shows in the misdirection that the McCain campaign is selling. Don’t talk about the issues, attack the person, attack the speeches and by all means, never discuss the issues. What does it say about McCain when he follows the steps of George Bush and Karl Rove?

Over at MSNBC Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow have this to say on it…

I’ll be the first one to say that Karl Rove is a man that can win elections and is a President maker. He fights campaigns as dirty and nasty as he has to and he gets people like George Bush elected not once but twice. McCain would be a fool not to take his advice but there is one flaw with that thought. Bush pretty much screwed up everything he touched the last eight years. Do you as an American want more of the same or change?

While the right side of the aisle is quick to attack Obama for guilt by association with Reverend Wright, and Ayers, they have no problem with the association of Karl Rove, the master of deception that played a large role in the corruption riddled White House of George W. Bush. From outing a CIA agent to making up the plans for invading Iraq based on WMD’s or as I call them Weapons of Mass Distraction. Not to mention the Jack Abramoff scandal with high powered lobbyist entrenched even today in the McCain campaign.

If John McCain wants to lie down with the likes of Karl Rove then that is a bed that he better be comfortable with. John McCain, the Maverick, sleeping with the wolves that are synonymous with deception. Not a far reach these days.

Senator McCain was once a Maverick, something to be proud of that actually had many Democrats enthused about his fight for what was right in the Senate. He has lost the Maverick title and is now just a sheep in the flock of George Bush. Karl Rove politics and the McCain camp accepting his advice proves that out. It doesn’t matter if you lie as long as you repeat it often enough. Ergo, Americans are just stupid!
