Karl Rove: Democratic Secret Weapon

Stephen Crockett:

Article explains how Karl Rove is the Democratic secret weapon. It shows how the "political genius" of Rove helped paint the Republicans as the Party of corruption, dirty tricks, endless war and the economic elitism.

The big problem for an evil "genius" is that they are evil and the American people really are not evil. Yes, Americans can be deceived and manipulated with scare tactics, lies, dirty tricks and simplistic slogans?. for awhile. In the long term, those efforts always backfire. When these "darkside" political tactics get transferred from election strategy to policy, they will inevitably blow-up in the face of their users. Karl Rove never learned this lesson from the era of Richard Nixon.
