WASHINGTON - White House political chief Karl Rove said Wednesday that President Bush (news - web sites) had just begun to demonstrate the kind of targeted, multi-front campaign he plans against Democratic rival John Kerry (news - web sites).

Addressing a small group of conservative activists, Rove assured them that Bush planned a nimble campaign able to counterpunch even before Kerry opens his mouth. The White House adviser pointed with pride to the Bush camp's response Tuesday, when it got word that Kerry planned a national security speech to veterans in West Virginia.

Rove complained that Democrats were criticizing Bush for failing to stem joblessness, when the unemployment rate is roughly the same as it was during President Clinton (news - web sites)'s 1996 run. Unemployment in February of this year was 5.6 percent; in February 1996, it was 5.5 percent.

He also said the gay marriage issue is beginning to help Bush, because polls are starting to shift in Bush's direction, with more people opposed to same-sex unions. But Rove implored the activists to add their voices to Bush's call for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage to ensure that Bush is not perceived as standing alone on the issue.

And he expressed irritation that some disgruntled Republicans in Congress and elsewhere have increasingly chosen to go to the news media to air their complaints, rather than bringing them directly to the White House.

1. Poor KKKarl...........

a few Republicans are starting to think for themselves and not hitching their wagons to whistleass. KKKarl can "strategerize" all he wants. In the end he's STILL going to have to sell an unelected moron to the American public who are a little more knowledgeable about the little jackass from Texas than they were in 2000.
Kerry was not my first choice for the nominee, but I hope he takes the fight to these fascist assholes like nobody has ever done before. Whistleass will get so confused he's bound to screw the entire thing up somehow if the pressure is kept on him. I revel in thought that these assholes will be sent packing and our country will once again be run by the WILL OF THE PEOPLE, not the will of these PNAC pea brains.

5. Done!

There's a fundraising effort, especially through e-mail, going on right now (as though it ever ended!). I donated yesterday after hearing Dr. Evil (AKA Dick Cheney) speak. :puke:

3. Lying with statistics . . . unemployment is no higher now than under

Clinton. When you go from computer engineer to busboy, you ARE technically employed.

Since jobs must not be a problem, then voters won't be concerned about it, right Karl (what a dumbass).

Of course, KKKarl will find out about job loss personally when the Bush cartel is crushed like a bug in November.

And he with no college degree, hmmm--no, Karl, I don't want fries with that, but congratulations on your manufacturing job.

4. PUFF PIECE ALERT!!!

If things were going so well, the last thing Rove would have done is give an interview the same day he turned Cheney loose on Kerry. Somebody in the Kerry camp is doing something right!
