The super-rich can be very, very easy to scam. Karl Rove proved that once again. It serves those guys right. Go to some other banana republic to buy an election guys, or at least invest in a party that won't alienate more than half of the electorate. Let's see, city folks, blacks, Hispanics, women, young people, the non-religious, the 47% of Americans who don't pay federal income taxes....how many other groups can Republicans piss off? None if they ever want to win a Presidential election again.Via Atrios, this is pretty funny:
"The billionaire donors I hear are livid," one Republican operative told The Huffington Post. "There is some holy hell to pay. Karl Rove has a lot of explaining to do ... I don't know how you tell your donors that we spent $390 million and got nothing."....Rove was forced to defend his group's expenditures live on Fox News on Tuesday night, and will hold a briefing with top donors on Thursday, according to Politico.If conservative billionaires are looking for something else to be mad about, I'd recommend the Romney campaign's apparent habit of paying about 50 percent more for TV spots than the Obama campaign. That helped line the pockets of the consultants who both recommended the buys and got the commissions for placing the spots, but it didn't do much to win the election.
In the end, it turned out that one side ran its campaign like a business, while the other side ran its like a local PTA. Ironically, it was the ex-community organizer who did the former and the ex-CEO of Bain Capital who did the latter.

The democrats have it right. Just lie to all those groups and tell them whatever they want to hear to get their vote. It's much cheaper! Stupid Republicans and their honesty. Shame on them.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans and their honesty? Seriously? You must be the biggest clown in the world. Let those Republican pundits lie to you about Mitt's momentum. Be really disappointed when you find out the real world doesn't match up with the Fox News bullshit. Whatever gets you off.
