That’s Ashley Judd, who is thinking about running against Turtle-boy McConnell here in Kentucky! And, that’s about the most accurate depiction of Karl Rove I have seen in years! Can you say “Swift-Boat”??
Oh, the evil Republicans are falsely shown to be running a sexist war. The dems have started race wars, class wars, immigration wars and now wars against women and blamed Republicans. Democrats fight with everyone except our enemies.
And the funny part is that the Rethuglicans will scream “But she’s just an actor! She can’t be Qualified to be a Senator”, while conveniently forgetting exactly what St. Ronnie did for YEARS in Hollywood!!
Nothing about the Republicans starting a REALWAR against an entire Religion?? Forgot about that, did you?? And HOWMANY Americans and others have DIED as a result of that war??
I’m not suggesting that we “Roll Over” to them any more then we need to “Roll Over” to the Whacko Southern Baptists and other hyper-conservative “Christian” Fundamentalists who want to drag the entire country back to the 18th century! And yes, I just compared the Baptists and other Conservative “Christian” Fundies to the Taliban! Which I will admit is a bit harsh, so I guess I better Apologize…to the Taliban!
Sorry, Howie, It was a Republican war. Bush and Cheney pushed for it, Murdock plastered support for it everywhere he could and drowned out the opposition with as much rhetoric as possible. The Democrats who voted for it were cowards, afraid that because of the climate created by the right wing media machine they would lose their seats in the next election and give way to a Republican super-majority. It was a political gamble that made them look even weaker with their “I was for it before I was against it” routine and allowed a Bush victory in 2004. Had they voted their conscience, the war may have still been fought, but the debacle would have clearly been at the feet of Bush and Cheney, and you probably would have had a Democratic President with a majority in both houses by 2005. To be honest, it is the reason that, with the exception of Obama, I have not voted for a Democrat in any election since 2004. I actually vote Independent or Republican for Senate and House races, and strictly Independent for state races.
Perhaps it’s time to ask the question about whether we are fanning the anti-US flames by staying involved. Anything we do can be used to blame us for something, and torturing prisoners, urinating on the Quran, and other behaviors will make even moderates turn against us.
And how do we handle Syria. The head of the Syrian rebels (the one group which will talk to us) essentially said, “Screw you guys. We don’t need food and humanitarian aid. We need guns and ammo.” bin Ladin redux?
With a miscreant socialist occupying our White House, now is not the time for moderation. We need to elect more freedom loving/God fearing American conservatives and put a stop to this decadent socialist spiral Obama and his stooges are desperately trying to draw us into. Judd is a fairly good entertainer, let her keep doing what she’s fairly good at and leave the country to more qualified folks.

Carl Rove left DC in disgrace and yet he made a comeback. I guess his brand of political nastiness is back too!

Karl can combine his war on the left and war on women tactics.

Chris Matthews and Rev. Al both spent a lot of time talking about her last night. She will be the most beautiful Senator.
