Dear Karl Rove:




You know perfectly well Karl that 'voter suppression' is not portraying an unpleasant view of the other candidate.

In the case of Mitt Romney, President Obama was pretty accurate, far more accurate than anything about the President that either you personally or all of Fox Not-really-the News has ever presented to your viewers.  The rival REPUBLICAN candidates to Mitt and Lyin' Ryan were far more voter suppressive, in other more correct words far more negative, than anything from your candidate.

Voter suppression Karl, is when you and your partisans purged eligible voters off the voter rolls, and when you found other ways, like limiting voting time and days so that fewer people were physically able to vote.  That is an exclusively right wing tactic Karl.

Voter suppression is rescinding the return of voting rights to former felons. Voter suppression is requiring voter ID when it would affect disproportionately Democratic voters, like minorities, the elderly, and students. That is an exclusively right wing tactic Karl.

Election tampering is when you and your party misinform voters about when and where and how they may legally vote.  That too Karl is pretty much something in which your party engages in, not your opposition.

But your party likes to project onto others the vile things you do and that you believe.

Your party are the voter suppressors Karl; don't try to push that off on us.  Your party was far harsher to Mitt Romney than anything Obama's campaign or supporting PACs were and you were far worse to Obama than he was towards Romney.

Your party despite its claims of patriotism routinely undermine the principles of voting in this country, your party disdains not only the members of the opposition, but if they were honest with themselves, many of your own red state supporters. Your party Karl is responsible for your own losses, not anyone else.

So quit whining, and - I know this part will be hard for you Karl - quit lying, and quit projecting your own faults onto others.

You lost Karl, because you are a bad person doing bad things, and you got caught at it.  Next time Karl, drink less of your own toxic Kool Aid.  You didn't lose because Democrats are bad or competed unfairly for the votes; you lost because you were bad Karl, and your party platform was bad, and your candidates were bad.
