The Big Con

Karl Rove seems pretty defensive:




Of course, I would be too if I'd just ripped off a bunch of billionaires and given them jack squat for their "investment."  People say rich folks are rich because they are smart.  Anybody who forked over a bunch of money to this crook is either dumb or naive.  Either way, he pulled the perfect con, and as a charitable organization, too. 

On another note, it amazed me how the conservatives went from predicting a Romney landslide to claiming that there wasn't a mandate in this election.  Does anyone out there believe that if Romney won by the margin Obama did that they wouldn't be calling it a massive landslide?  What a bunch of propagandist bullshit artists.  A little history: In the past 6 presidential elections, Rpublicans have won a plurality of the vote just once, and they maxed out at 286 electoral votes.  Obama has topped those numbers twice.  And yet the pundits were stressing that this is a center-right country because all the empty spaces between cities votes Republican.  Unfortunately, they've only managed to be in the majority once in 20 years.  Times change.  Deal with it.
