Karl Rove
The definition of relationships ought to be left up to the states and that proper protections can be put in place for the right to visit in the hospital or the right to inherit or other legal contractual questions like that.
Karl Rove
I've been booed on stages. I'm a little bit tougher than to walk off a stage because someone says something ugly.
Karl Rove
Negative politics have always been around.
Karl Rove
If you look underneath the surface of the Tea Party movement, on the other hand, you will find that it is not sophisticated. It's not like these people have read the economist Friedrich August von Hayek.
Karl Rove
