Within our party, we’ve got to be very careful about allowing these people who are the birthers and the 9/11-deniers to get too high a profile and say too much without setting the record straight.
—Karl Rove, telling Fox News that Republicans have to stop the birthers in their party. When asked what percentage of Republican voters were birthers — a recent poll found 51 percent — Rove added: “I don’t know, but whatever it is, it ought to be less, because we need the leaders of our party to say ‘Look, stop falling into the trap of the White House and focus on the real issues.’ “
