Good riddance. Too bad so much damage has already been done. Thanks for dividing America, you SOB. - N
Oh frabjous day...actually, I never really "got" the animosity towards Rove. I take it he's suspected to have had a role in the Plame game, but not clear that anyone really knows that it was him (and not, say, Cheney). I got the sense he was a favorite target just because he was the point man on political operations for the President, and he was a bit too good at his job. Perhaps he was behind some campaign of "dirty tricks" or something, but it seems to me he's more of a symbol of things people do not like about the way the GOP conducts itself politically.
You have to admit the Republicans are the more corrupt. Lets see, Jack Abramoff Convicted, Scooter Libby convicted, Duke Cunningham convicted, Bush's Enron posse convicted,former Illinois Governor George Ryan convited,GOP fundraiser Tom Noe convicted, 2 Republican Board of election officials in Ohio were recently convicted for vote tampering.Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, George Allens fatal Macca moment. Man, I'll stop now because I'll be here all night. Democrats has it's bad apples too. But the Republicans have been getting convicted left and right over the last few years. We're definitely the lessor of the 2 evils.
The fatest of the Rats leave a sinking ship first. This fat f*cker is going to write a book to the conservative sheeple and get even richer.
Democrats are rarely even charged no matter how severe their crime, especially if their name is Kennedy. So a list of convictions doesn't mean crap.
Blame your inept party. They were in full control of the Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches for the last 6 years.
I hate to muddy the water with some facts, but here's an interview with Paul Gigot, who recently spoke with Mr. Rove about his departure. http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid452319854/bctid1140731004
Better question: Can he still be subpoened now that he resigned? By the way both String and MAW are pathetic apologists... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
No problem. There were no facts in that interview. Spend time with his family? His current wife seems to dislike and avoid him, his first wife has trashed him all over Dallas, his kid has gone off to college, c'mon. How about: he and W both want to put as much distance as possible between himself and about twenty investigations into federal corruption and crime, and between himself and the implosion of this presidency. He's widely and thoroughly despised by Republicans as well as others, his only virtue was that he won (which excused anything, in Republican eyes), and he's stopped winning. Turdblossom is getting ripe. Partial list of incoming subpeonas: emails, Abramoff (still), Plame (still), the AG business, Iglesias, voting and balloting irregularities, the Hatch Act business, maybe even the Gannon business, or something left over from Texas. And long rounds of compulsory testimony on related matters with other officials, or efforts to block it. He's not going to get anything done for a while anyway.
Harriet Miers hasn't had to; she's still claiming executive privilege. I've never heard or read anything about Rove that did anything other than make me feel contempt for him. Just because he is resigning this position doesn't mean we have seen the last of his underhanded "win at any cost" political strategies - he may go to work for one of the Republican candidates.
:cheers: Well, big surprise, in a new interview, GW Jr assures us American people he most certainly will know exactly what time it is and has appointed Rove to UAE where he will manage the ME arm of the GW Wucka institute there - they supply oil to needy 1st world nations.
Rove is now free to coordinate the Republican 2008 elections campaign. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Kennedy who?? :bugeye: Regardless, a Republican Congress impeaches a Democratic president because he had his fly open. Terrible crime of morality. But really, where's those WMD King George? Lead a country into war on a lie, and know that impeachment is not likely due to partisan politics. Yet another blasphemy to the U.S. Constitution and its checks and balances. Lack of partisan politics was actually a part of the constitutional intent of our republican democracy, and its presence has disasterously weakened the power and portence of impeachment.
Yes, that is what i heard. Rove is leaving to work on the 2008 Republican dirty tricks campaign program....getting the Robersons of the world to make their Clinton horor movies for their minions about how the Clintons got together in the Whitehouse and murdered some person or persons yet to be found.
Bingo! He can also work 'on the ground' to pitch the transnational superhighway to the Texans who seem to want nothing to do with it.
Funny to hear the Repubilcans start rallying their base again with cries of unfair Democrats. It also amuses me that their bases buys the fact that after seven years in the Whitehouse and control of congress for more than a decade they still find time to blame Clinton for current problems.

He always was - nothing has changed there. But no candidate will likely have him on staff, publically - he has to get paid somehow. He's going to have legal expenses. Think tank, maybe. His only likely role would be attacking national Dem figures, as an "independent" not formally affiliated with the Republican Party.
