Rove: ‘No one that I know of is talking about tax cuts only.’
Rove: ‘No one that I know of is talking about tax cuts only.’
On Fox News today, former Bush adviser Karl Rove responded to President Obama’s criticism last night of Republicans who offer “more tax cuts as the only answer to every problem we face,” by claiming, “no one that I know of is talking about tax cuts only.” Watch it:
Apparently, Rove doesn’t know any Senate Republicans. Yesterday, 36 out of 41 Senate Republicans voted for an amendment offered by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) that was an alternative “stimulus” plan consisting of nothing but permanent tax cuts. An analysis by the Center for American Progress Action Fund found that DeMint’s plan would “cost over $3.1 trillion over ten years — more than three times the amount of President Barack Obama’s plan — and be largely ineffective at creating jobs.”

February 6th, 2009 at 8:35 pmRemember, whenever Karl Rove releases a video, you have to check it to see if there are any coded messages to his operatives. In this case, the message is clearly “RETREAT!”
He’s signaling Republicans to back off on being anti-spending now that it’s clear they can’t stop the bill. The message now is “we’re for modest spending, combined with tax cuts and (fill in the blank)…” Make it look like the Dems are being “spending-ONLY” and you’re being all comprehensive or something.
But it’s still a “RETREAT!” call.

.
February 6th, 2009 at 8:45 pmIf perception is reality, Karl Rove lives in Candyland.
February 6th, 2009 at 8:47 pmAt the risk of being redundant, notice how Rove turns a response into an outrageously flimsy lie. A claim which puts people correcting him on the defensive. Making them react
This is what they do, deploy the noise machine to proactively disseminate wildly inaccurate, self-serving claims. They create the dialogue. The declarations get aired, the corrections less so.
Repeat the inaccurate claims, and the corrections cannot keep pace. In fact, many times the corrections, however accurate, are not uniform either, causing the defenses and corrections to appear suspect, disorganized and not consistently true, whereas the republican talking points get repeated almost verbatim. These appear accurate as they appear ’solid’ by employing the same verbiage.
It’s a game, much like what the trolls do: ignore the truth, make false claims and make people waste time correcting them before they ignore the answers and tangentially make more idiotic claims.
Reacting. Takes more energy than being a proactive, evasive liar.

February 6th, 2009 at 8:54 pmWell KKKarl, Some say that the bill that the rethugs put forward yesterday, the one that was voted down, was tax cuts only. Take notes, moron.
February 6th, 2009 at 8:56 pmYa know, if someone repeatedly tells me that they’re not doing something, while in fact they are – I might forgive them a couple of times. But there is a word for them after repeatedly doing it.

He’s got to be playing the numbers on this stuff – “70% of the viewers of this show won’t check any claim I make, no matter how outrageous. So I can say whatever, and there’s one chunk of the electorate convinced… Of the remaining 30%, a majority won’t be able to decide who’s more credible, me or the source they’re checking me against…” He isn’t speaking, like what humans do where they say things that are consistent with what they believe to be true. It doesn’t even capture it to say he’s lying, which is when somebody intentionally says the opposite of what they believe to be true. The truth just doesn’t even factor in to what he says. He’s just purely “messaging.”

February 6th, 2009 at 10:49 pmThe less powerful but still rear heavy, rear engined Beetle had no such bad press.
My first car was an utterly conventional ‘65 Fairlane ( I bought it in 85 with 44K on the clock). I learned to drive in a VW Vanagon and was used to driving Minis and other small cars.
My Fairlane was definitely my idea of dangerous (front-end lift, wet-noodle steering, understeer, axle-tramp etc), until I got used to it, after which it was only horrible.
Karl, I know of no one who is going to get to you while your are in prison and make you squeal like the pig you are.
February 6th, 2009 at 10:53 pmZero… but on your economic analysis, it sounds like my Fairlane–rubbish. No wonder I couldn’t sell it to save my life. (I swapped it for a VW Rabbit with twice the miles on it–much better!).

“The Sporty Corvair”
The subject for which the book is probably most widely known is covered in the first chapter, General Motors’ Chevrolet Corvair. The chapter is subtitled “The One-Car Accident”.
The 1960–1963 Corvairs had a rear engine and a suspension design which was prone to “tuck under” in certain circumstances and which required drivers to maintain proper tire pressures which were outside of the tire manufacturer’s recommended tolerances for the tire. The tires had an unusually high front:rear differential (15psi front, 26psi rear, when cold; 18 psi and 30psi hot). The tire pressures were more critical than for most contemporaneous designs, but this was not made explicitly clear to salespeople or owners.
According to the standards laid down by the Tire and Rim Association, the relevant industry body, the pressures also rendered the tires overloaded when there were two or more passengers on board. An unadvertised at-cost option (#696) included upgraded springs and dampers, front anti-roll bars and rear axle rebound straps to prevent tuck-under. Aftermarket kits were also available, such as the EMPI Camber Compensator, for the knowledgeable owner.
The suspension design was modified for the 1964 model year, just far enough ahead of publication to allow its inclusion in the book; most significantly a second, outboard constant velocity joint was added to maintain a constant camber angle at the wheels. Corvairs from 1965 on were of this type and did not suffer the characteristic tuck-under crashes.
_____________
Huh… so the ‘64 model was modified to correct this problem…
February 6th, 2009 at 11:28 pmZero Says:
BTW, the 64 Corvair Monza Spyder is turbocharged, produces 150 hp and 210 lbs of torque while weighing less than 2400 lbs. If I couldn’t get that care to spin out or roll over I really don’t know what Nader’s gripe was.
It’s always so cute when a troll learns how to use The Google. Like he’s ever even seen a “64 Corvair Monza Spyder”, and the simple fool doesn’t even realize it had a completely different rear suspension than the Corvairs that Nader studied.

All of these terms came from the Republicans and the right wing—and all are synonymous with dirty politics. Clearly, the Republican Party is a criminal organization thinly disguised as a political party.

Kill revenue so that govt. shrinks (to the size that it can be drowned in a bathtub, as Grover Norquist said), there is more unrest and they make a resurgence as the law and order party.
Deficits, debt? That doesn’t matter…heck, George nearly doubled the nations debt in just 6 years. Why it took all the other Presidents way more years to get the first half tallied up.
Repubs create higher deficits and debt…yet say that what they are doing is different, as they hand out tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations.
Interest on the nations debt? Now it’s over $480 BILLION/year…such a waste. But then it’s not going for those nasty govt. programs. Yet the GOP wants huge permanent tax cuts? It’s like Naomi Klein wrote..disaster capitalism. Create a disaster and then get momentum to change critical items of benefit to those getting maximum benefits.

February 7th, 2009 at 9:20 amDavid Broder…hardly a flaming radical…has zeroed in on the Problem Facing The Republican Party:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/06/AR2009020602741.html
“It was not all that long ago that political reporters were writing about “the Republican lock” on the White House. From 1972 to 1988, from Richard Nixon’s reelection through George H.W. Bush’s victory over Michael Dukakis, 24 states supported the GOP nominee each time.”
But that was Then, and Change Happened:
“18 states and the District of Columbia have voted Democratic at least five times in a row, supporting Democrats from Bill Clinton through Barack Obama. Those states — concentrated in the Northeast and the upper Midwest and on the Pacific Coast — provide 248 electoral votes, 29 more than the old Republican lock and more than 90 percent of the electoral college majority. ”
“The election losses of 2006 and 2008 left the House and Senate Republicans even more dependent on those elected from Southern states. The attrition in the Northeast, Midwest and West has been heavy, and ever since Trent Lott and Newt Gingrich started the trend in 1994, the national party has spoken more and more with a Southern drawl.”
Thes Blue States … “combine large numbers of well-educated, affluent and less religious whites with substantial numbers of racial and ethnic minorities, including sizable immigrant populations.”
“They rank high in the proportion of college graduates and residents who are foreign-born, and their median income tops the national average. They lag in church attendance. Every one of those traits makes them less receptive to the message being offered by most Republicans.”
“When (Michael) Steele defeated the former Republican chairman of Lee Atwater’s and Strom Thurmond’s South Carolina, the ancestral home of the Southern strategy, in the final round of voting for the RNC chairmanship, it sent a dramatic signal of change from the old ways and the old alignments.”
So the Republican Party’s Survival Depends on the Failure of Obama’s Presidency. That’s their End Game.

February 7th, 2009 at 4:58 pmCan’t you say anything without calling people names. You liberals belive that if you can’t beat the facts, you start calling people names.
What is wrong with letting the people decide how to spend their money? The federal government is going to screw it up just like everything they get involved with.
Give me some facts and don’t call people names
I do not wont to hear from this criminal jerk, until he is in an orange jumpsuit in a federal prison.

Oh please. YOUR side is the side of Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Micheal Savage dont even THINK about claiming the LEFT is the one that calls names YOUR side OWNS ad hominem. We have been doing tax cuts since 1980 about every cycle and we have a TEN TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT AND A MELTDOWN OF THE ECONOMY. You would end the entire income tax system? It is plain stupid. Really its that simple it is a bone ignorant suggestion. We need public spending to put money into the hands of those who will spend it. Societies cost money. If YOU dont want to pay your fair share then go dig a hole and eat bugs and berries but get off the wagon we are trying to have a civilization here and I am tired of dragging dead weight like you along with your constant snivelling about how you have to chip in for the society you benifit from.
