Progressive Republican Karl Rove clearly has a hard on (in more ways than one) on Rick Perry. He attacks him on a regular basis in interviews. His latest smear on Perry is claiming that his proposal to reform Social Security as toxic. Keep in mind, Rove back in 2005 had Bush half heatedly propose Social Security reform. Now he goes after Perry for the same idea.
On “GMA” this morning, Karl Rove noted that new GOP frontrunner has many strengths, but Rick Perry’s thoughts on Social Security are not among them.
Perry’s campaign has not backed away from what Perry wrote in his book “Fed Up” — that Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme,” a “failure,” “something we have been forced to accept for more than 70 years now,” and one of many New Deal programs that have “never died, and like a bad disease, they have spread.”
But Rove pulled no punches today, calling that stance “inadequate.”
“They are going to have to find a way to deal with these things,” Rove said.
Karl Rove’s manhood may be inadequate, but to describe Perry’s Social Security view in that manner is really juvenile. Clearly Karl Rove has PHD, Perry Hater Disease. He will do all he can to sabotage Perry. Rove wants Jeb Bush in 2016 and doesn’t care if the nation is in ruined status by then.
The Left is now embarrassing Karl Rove as a wise man. They can have him. He’s a Leftist anyway and should be purged from the GOP.
