Rove's own tendency to be sick-minded originates with his
mentor Segretti. The 2000 GOP primary was a chance for Rove to hone his skills
in dirty tricks. His target then was Senator John McCain who appeared to be
within striking distance of Dubya in South Carolina after the then-GOP
maverick's surprise upset victory in New Hampshire. Rove's operation proceeded
to target McCain with false stories: McCain was a stoolie for his captors in
the Hanoi Hilton (this from a lunatic self-promoting Vietnam "veteran");
McCain fathered a black daughter out of wedlock (a despicable reference to
McCain's adopted Bangladeshi daughter); Cindy McCain's drug "abuse";
and even McCain's "homosexuality." In the spirit of Segretti, Rove
engineered a victory for Dubya but at the cost of trashing an honorable man and
his family. Muskie, McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, Hart, Tsongas,
Clinton, Biden, Dole, Perot, and others had all seen the Segretti/Rove slash
and burn tactics before.
Now Rove is going to start working for the Romney campaign
and that just means more dirty tricks and lies against Obama. Can’t we ,as voters. Just listen to the
issues and decide on our own without any made up stories and half-truths? I would like to see both sides just run on
issues instead of attack adds.
