Normally I modify the thread title a bit, but for this one, I think I'll let it stand on it's own merits.

Fat-assed corrupt traitor Rove disses a VP choice OBAMA HASN'T EVEN MADE on "Face The Nation"
Advertisements [?]Rove: Obama Will Make Political Veep Pick
Suggests Choice Of Virginian Tim Kaine Would Be An "Intensely Political Choice" That Ignores Responsibilities Of Presidency

(CBS) Republican strategist Karl Rove said on Face The Nation Sunday that he expects presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama to choose a running mate based on political calculations, not the person's readiness for the job.
"I think he's going to make an intensely political choice, not a governing choice," Rove said. "He's going to view this through the prism of a candidate, not through the prism of president; that is to say, he's going to pick somebody that he thinks will on the margin help him in a state like Indiana or Missouri or Virginia. He's not going to be thinking big and broad about the responsibilities of president."
Rove singled out Virginia governor Tim Kaine, also a Face The Nation guest, as an example of such a pick.
"With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he's been a governor for three years, he's been able but undistinguished," Rove said. "I don't think people could really name a big, important thing that he's done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America."
Rove continued: "So if he were to pick Governor Kaine, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I'm really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States? What I'm concerned about is, can he bring me the electoral votes of the state of Virginia, the 13 electoral votes in Virginia?'"

18. Why is that criminal bastard allowed to continue to pollute our airwaves?
That fat ****er belongs in jail.
There is a contempt charge hanging over his head yet the media swarms to him like flies on honey. If any of us had the criminal record he has the media would only want to see us jailed.
Because if the leftist have their way, any who oppose them would be silenced, 'for the good of us all'.
