Does anyone else get the feeling that Rove has played us perfectly?
As was posted this morning in response to a misleading OP:



How is it that the Republican party is almost universally reviled and yet Bush is still in office, McCain is surging in popularity(despite being the person who caved on torture), and all of our top-tier candidates are offering more of the same, just in lower dosage?

:wtf:

And all I see in the primaries on our side is cult of personality and "electability."

Would you elect a rabid wolverine in a suit because a polling company told you they had a higher score than the others?

Instead of asking what the hell is going on, we're playing right into it by electing the people we're told to, so that we are led to believe that said candidate has some sort of support in America.

Notice that GWB was never elected, yet they often refer to votes that were rigged, and pointing to the idea that we are some sort of RW "Christian" nation, and that "libruls" are weak, traitorous and almost non-existent?

Keep playing the games, as certainly Rove is laughing at all of us.

1. Fuck Rove.
I don't think he's smart enough to pull this off.

He got Shrub into office, but I don't give him much more credit than that.

2. Wouldn't it be nice...
if people talked about reality...rather than repeating or initiating shit-flinging-sessions that have zero input towards finding any solution about any thing? I think there's a whole generation that have been played..and it wasn't by Mr. Rove.

3. and if it is posted on the Internets, it HAS to be accurate
I've seen that graphic before and I think it is bullshit.

First, who says that how the candidates would score on the test? Second, it's a silly test anyway. Some of the questions are important, but what do I care about a candidate's opinion on abstract art?
