Rove to local GOP: 'You have a pretty easy message'

Karl Rove, the political brain trust of former President George W. Bush, told Northwest suburban Republicans they can win back the state if they don't rip the party apart in the primaries early next year.

"The people are looking closely at the quality of candidates you put forward," Rove said. "You better not claw yourselves up and bloody yourselves up and cut yourselves up in a primary."

That is crucial, Rove mentored at a Schaumburg fundraiser, because the time is ripe for a GOP comeback in the statewide 2010 elections, or a potential special Senate election, given the arrest of Democratic former Gov. Rod Blagojevich and scandal surrounding Democratic Sen. Roland Burris.

"It strikes me that you have a pretty easy message," Rove told the several hundred attendees at the Schaumburg Marriott. "If you want change from the way things are then you ought to elect yourself a Republican governor."

1. Pat Quinn is an idiot for calling for an open election.

Let Burris stay put for the balance of his term.

The rethugs are dying for an opening so they can get a toehold in Illinois politics and they are playing this one for all its worth.

Every time I turn on WLS or WGN radio one of them is on jawboning about how filthy the Dems are in Illinois.

Call me cynical but I say politics is a a dirty game and none of them have clean hands and its naive to think they do.

2. What they have is short memories.

They've forgotten about George Ryan already?

3. City Lights to KKKarl: If I want your opinion, I'll ask for it.

Surely Klueless KKKarl knows where our last RepubliCON governor currently resides. :eyes: You're losing it, Karl.

Oh, and btw...why the fuck aren't you in jail yet you porcine prick?
