Morning, all – it looks like the Freeperati are still in serious denial re: believing the messaging is faulty, rather then the product.
Allow me to demonstrate – we’ll reach way back for this first one –Rove, Rove, Rove, you’re toast!

New York’sGabriel Sherman reports thatFox News is scaling back airtime for Republican pundit Karl Rove, in what appears to be a reprimand forRove’s meltdown during the network’s live election broadcast.
Sources
told Sherman that Fox News chief Roger Ailes has ordered his staff to
bench Rove and his fellow GOP pundit Dick Morris, two of the network’s
most vocal partisan voices whose predictions turned out to be
spectacularly wrong. According to Sherman, producers must now get
permission before booking Rove or Morris on Fox shows.
The move comes as Fox takes steps to rehab its image in the wake of Republican defeats this November.Rove, in particular, has been widely mocked by members of both parties, both for hisonscreen tantrum and for theabysmal performance of his American Crossroads super PAC.

How was Rove supposed to know that the commie ‘RATS would take their voter fraud to such a massive level? It’s not Rove’s fault.

They didn’t.
Sure there was -some- fraud, but not massive fraud as you suggest.
The stupid party just got its ass aboslutely kicked.

They should have pulled him after what he did to Christine
O’Donnell on the night that she won her primary, and how he did
everything he could to throw ice water on her momentum during that week.
He really went after the tea party that year and hurt us bad.

You’re still blaming a SIXTEEN POINT LOSS on Rove?
He only dreams he was that powerful.
MAYBE a bad candidate like O’Donnell’s bad loss is the fault of the
candidate. I realize that’s a completely insane, out there, crazy
theory.

No, we didn’t.
We lost because our politcal party ****ING SUCKS.
If it didn’t ****ING SUCK, then it would not stand for voter fraud occurring at all.
Whatever happened in 2012 happened as a direct result of the GOP ****ING SUCKING.
I’m not sure if I said that the GOP ****ING SUCKS enough, so let me just summarize by saying that the GOP ****ING SUCKS!
Pardon my French, I’m tired of being back stabbed by a party that ****ING SUCKS.

Republicans prepare for a comeback: ‘We can’t come off as a bunch of angry white men’
By Chris Moody, Yahoo! News
Political Reporter
CHARLOTTE,
N.C. — Republican National Committee members gathered here to re-elect
Chairman Reince Priebus for a second term. But by week’s end, that vote
seemed secondary to the question of the party’s long term survival.
After
three months of denial, anger, despair and depression over the results
of a bruising national election that gave Democrats an edge in Congress
and kept President Barack Obama in the White House, Republicans know
they must adapt if they are to move forward.
They acknowledge that it’s time for a serious gut check. (Or as Haley Barbour put it in November, a “proctology exam.”)
Whatever
bodily metaphor you choose, the fact remains that the election so
jolted and shocked the party that it is taking real steps to change.
And change they will! As soon as they figure out how.
While
Republicans in Virginia and other battleground states launched an
effort this week to alter electoral college rules so that votes are
doled out proportionately–which would likely give the GOP at least a
short term edge–GOP leaders here discussed their party’s own
shortcomings and sought areas of internal improvement.
Almost
every conversation in the bar of the Charlotte Westin Hotel this week
involved a discussion about what the party must do to win the next
elections. Floating through the air is a desire to re-capture glorious
days of the past, a challenge made difficult by a country that refuses
to stand still. Demographics are changing, minorities are growing in
political influence and views on social issues like gay marriage are
drifting rapidly leftward. Something’s got to give.

Oy.
To: Sub-Driver
Having a black RNC Chairman didn’t make a damn bit of difference.
The blah people saw through our clever ruse! Curse them!
The only answer is to effectively answer them and start throwing it
right back at them. This is war, but the Republicans don’t seem to
realize that they are in one.

Guys – this isn’t helping address the problem.
It is, however, hilarious.
I love them all. They’re absolutely convinced that playing with a toaster in the bathtub is the key to Ultimate Electoral Victory.
I looked up Newington, CT and the town is 92% white and has a median family income over $67,000. Not exactly a ghetto. And how is what she did different than these jackasses bringing AR’s to Obama rallies? I don’t support the legality of either, but given the Freeperati’s penchant for self-reliance, non-government intervention, what makes this scenario different? Let’s see… Type of handgun? Well, a .380 is a shitty choice but I don’t think that is it. Chuck E. Cheese? Can’t be it, they love fictional characters too much. Just can’t put my finger on it. Blacking out on a reason. Wy would they have a problem? Mind is drawing a black. Hmmm. What is the reason? I guess we don’t have enough color of the situation to understand.
Shorter Colin Powell: “Thanks, folks! I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.”
He seems mystified about why Republican leaders aren’t denouncing the stupidity of the birthers or the other conspiracy theorists in their party. I’ll try to explain it all for Mr. Powell (and type slowly, because he may not read very fast): It’s because (1) nobody in the popular media will ask Republican leaders about whether or not they should sign on to the birther nonsense; and (b) the leaders of the GOP don’t dare cross their base. Losing election after election by getting 47% of the vote may be bad, but it’s worse (in what passes for the Republican mind) to lose those elections while garnering less than 40% of the vote.
Does that make it clearer?
Do they actually use “ghetto rats” and similar while still saying their dream of the RNC isn’t racist? I’m really confused as to why they can’t make the minorities feel the love…
As for Rove rant, listen to the video in the link and try to tell me that redistricting isn’t just an exercise in gerrymandering. (Yes, the prez election is state wide, but the way they have each county finely divided is exactly what they need to plan gerrymandered districts – and by extension the attempt to split the electoral vote by district to gerrymander the prez election.)!
And for a fun time, I went back and did a web search and pulled up all sorts of news articles from the months before the election to read all the pundits talk of dem oversampling, etc. Their belief in their own sophistication is so cute
MapleStreet–
Yes, but the more genteel Freeperati refer to “Holder’s people”.
I believe the technical term is “turd blossom”.
Yes, the Democrats committed massive fraud by: a) turning out to vote; and b) letting the entire GOP convince themselves that the Democrats were to discouraged to turn out. But it is Rove’s fault that he did not foresee such vile tactics.
