		<description>&lt;p&gt;Rove’s position is never a &lt;em&gt;question&lt;/em&gt; in earnest.  He &lt;b&gt;determines&lt;/b&gt; what he wants the country to be/get and then proceeds through a succession of dirty tricks and underhanded maneuvers to apply it.  And David Frum goes along for the ride.  Oh my.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;“Or maybe Karl realized that conservatives can’t actually meet the nation’s needs, which is why he relied on dirty tricks and manipulation over actual governance,”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Conservatives don’t believe in meeting the nation’s actual needs.  That’s the whole point. Government action applied to any need is opposite the whole Conservative ideology.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s not a realization it’s an objective. In their worldview there is no need and even if a need is obvious, Conservatives would reject any action by government instead insisting that the market or the ‘hidden hand’ or some form of voodoo will satisfy the need.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;American Conservatism is based on fantasy and wishful thinking inherently dishonest and corrupt.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-895979&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mutant Poodle @ 26&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Only semi-OT - did anyone see that the WH went after a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3xepwid_sY&quot;&gt;Hillary ad&lt;/a&gt; - calling it, among other things, unconscionable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ad in question merely pointed out that to Bush, average folks were invisible - fair comment, I’d say.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seemed &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mutantpoodle.com/wordpress/?p=120#more-120&quot;&gt;dopey to me&lt;/a&gt; that they’d engage, and I wonder if that isn’t more of Karl’s &lt;strike&gt;brilliance&lt;/strike&gt; ego coming to the fore?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…and Hillary’s saying; ‘Bring it on!’  ;-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not a polite thing to do, asking a guy (Bush) to fight after he’s lost his brain. I mean really. C’mon Hillary there are plenty of Democratic presidential candidates. Why go picking on Bushie?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s easy to see Hillary would be a better president than Bush. But, then all the Democratic presidential candidates would. So, what’s she trying to prove?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hillary fights like a girl!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;What exactly has Laura Bush done in Austin that rates the “honor” of having a library named after her?  After all the Patriot Act wanted to force libraries to diclose what people checked out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ah, this was the concession when the city agreed to not name an elementary school after her when there were protesters a few years ago.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
