According to Dick Polman in the Philadelphia Inquirer last Sunday (here)…Karl Rove is right.Wow, I guess the fact that Rove recognizes the obvious is what makes him a political genius (but being the scheming rat that he will always be, I know that you can never count him out).
That's not a misprint.
President Bush's career guru has long insisted that Republicans will never achieve permanent majority status unless they can connect with Hispanic voters. Since his White House departure, he has warned Republicans that their persistent immigrant-bashing is hazardous to their long-term political health. In Rove's words, "You cannot ignore the aspirations of the fastest-growing minority in America."
I wonder, though, if he was “trying to connect with Hispanic voters” when he spoke the following (as noted here - there are many, many ways the Repugs have alienated this constituency, but I'll just focus on this for the moment)…
"I don't want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas."God forbid the son of “Bush’s Brain” should actually have to perform manual labor, right (Smerky should send Rove a copy of his latest column in the Sunday Inky, where he told us all about his job history – trying to measure up to Philadelphia’s pre-eminent radio talk show host should snap Rove, Jr. into line right quick).
I mean, getting one's hands dirty doing honest work is something that's too good for most Repugs, isn't it?
