Gold's Gym Gave 2 Million Bucks to Karl Rove?


What in the power of Grayskull is this? I just read that Robert Rowling, the CEO of Gold's Gym, is supporting Karl Rove? Seriously? Karl Rove?

Does he even works out?
Here's the scoop:

Rowling, head of TRT Holdings, which is the owner of Gold's Gym, is spending quite a bit of money this election cycle. Upwards of $2 million to be exact, through both his corporate and personal bank accounts. Where is he sending that money, which he no doubt earns on the backs of many an LGBT customer?

Karl Rove. That's right, the former Bush strategist, who co-founded a new political organization, American Crossroads, which is working to elect some of the most virulently anti-gay politicians in the country. Turns out that Rowling is one of a handful of big money men working to get Rove's organization off the ground, helping to turn it into a power player among the political elite.
Who would have thought that giving money to Gold's Gym could have such ugly consequences for the LGBT community?
Among the candidates that the owner of Gold's Gym is working to elect include Nevada GOP senate candidate Sharron Angle, who is challenging Sen. Harry Reid. 
I'm very shocked about this. I'm glad I don't have a membership there (Bally's, baby!). But I wonder what they hope to get out of it? I mean, Karl Rove? He's one of the reasons why we went to war, the whole gay marriage attack during the 2004 election and every major move of the Bush administration.

Shame on you, Robert Rowling.

Interesting Quote: Christine O'Donnell


"How many of you didn't hang out with questionable folks in high school? There's been no witchcraft since. If there was, Karl Rove would be a supporter now."

That's what she told her coven at a GOP picnic.

Karl Rove said Christine O'Donnell needs explain her Witch Dabblings

Karl Rove said today that Trojan Vibrating Touch spokeswoman, Christine O' Donnell needs to talk about her invoking the Guardians of the Watchtower days.
"In southern Delaware, where there are a lot of church-going people, they're probably going to want to know what was that all about," Rove said on Fox News Sunday. "And again, she said it on television when she went on the ... the Bill Maher show."

Rove was referring to an October 1999 appearance O'Donnell made on Maher's "Politically Incorrect" show where she said," I dabbled into witchcraft -- I never joined a coven... One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn't know it." O'Donnell had been on Maher's show frequently in the 1990s, and Maher has said he is going to show an O'Donnell clip each week until she agrees to appear again.

Rove said that in whatever way O'Donnell deals with the quote from her past, she can't say, "These are unfactual and not true and ... go to my Web site and ignore them."

"I don't think the people of Delaware have or are accepting that as a reasonable explanation," Rove said. "And until they do, they're going to be resistant to hearing the bigger, broader, more important message."

As you can tell, Karl is not a fan
