He's absolutely caused the Left to turn 40 shades of blue. Well, worth the money he's paid.
His job was to win elections. And, with the exception of last November (which can largely be blamed on a chicken Republican caucus), he's done pretty good.
He's only making 165K a year as an advisor. Rove will triple his income when he goes to run someone else's campaign. He may be a shady two-faced asshole of a political consultant, but he's the best shady two-faced asshole of a political consultant in the damned country.
I wonder if Fred Thompson likes to dove hunt?
So he won a couple of elections by abandoning party principles and leaving the party in a sorry state. Great.
As for the Congress, he was part of a strategy to cajole conservative Republican congressmen to abandon their beliefs and support a president who is currently in the Hoover-Carter range when it comes to presidential approval ratings.
Yippee.
There is already speculation he is stepping down to run a 2008 campaign.... With all the negativity he has with the press, I hope that isn't so. Fred Thompson is who they speculated for.
Are you a Republican?
Seriously, nobody regards the GOP as a viable choice when it comes to personal freedom. He's made a ing joke of the party all for an unsustainable electoral strategy. Great, he got people in trailer parks to vote GOP. Awesome.
I was a Republican.
Rove will lose to HRC. The Clintons know how to be compe ive in Southern border states. With the Demo candidate already having California, New York, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania in the bag, along with the rest of the West Coast, New England, and the Mid-Atlantic next year's election is over after the primaries. The GOP candidate will be fighting in Southern states throughout the election.
Ah, until Rove ruined the party?
Yep. The GOP is dead. The Demos are regarded as the party of greater personal freedom, the party of the upwardly mobile. This is what happens when you turn the party into some kind of hyper-patriotic theocratic movement. The legacy of Goldwater and Reagan has been and pissed on, and then set ablaze.
Well, I'm sure your Democratic Party will bring back the Reagan and Goldwater Conservativism you so miss...
The Republican made their own beds by straying too far from the ideological philosophies that got them in power in the first place, less federal government, less spending, stronger security, and more transparency........but there has also been a less M$M-covered Progressive revival....
10 years from now, it will be Republicans who will spit on the ground at every mention of Rove's name, as he will be the villain who ended up sabotaging the GOP's future for years just to get Bush elected.
He did the same thing to Texas....all the major office-holders, Cornyn, Hutch, Perry....are Rove shills...
However, loyal Rovians want to put his resignation, the fact remains the noose was tightening around KKKarl...
CNNWASHINGTON (CNN) -- Susan Ralston, a former top assistant to President Bush's political adviser, Karl Rove, is willing to tell Congress what she knows about contacts between White House officials and disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff -- but only if she's granted immunity from prosecution, her lawyer has told congressional investigators.
During a May 10 deposition with Ralston, her attorney, Bradford Berenson, told investigators for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that she "has material, useful information" about contacts between Abramoff and his associates and White House officials, according to a memo sent to committee members Tuesday by the committee's chairman, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-California.
Berenson also said Ralston has useful information about the use of outside Republican National Committee e-mail accounts by White House staffers, which is also the subject of a congressional probe, according to the memo. However, Ralston will only be "comfortable going forward" if she is given a grant of immunity, Berenson told investigators, according to the memo.
In his memo, Waxman told his colleagues that before considering Ralston's immunity request, "the committee should seek to obtain information about the relationship between Mr. Abramoff and the White House from other sources."
Ralston was Abramoff's executive assistant before coming to work for Rove in 2001. She resigned last October, after revelations that more than half of Abramoff's 66 contacts at the White House during the Bush administration were made through her.
In January 2006, Abramoff pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy, mail fraud and tax evasion, the result of a wide-ranging Capitol Hill influence-peddling probe that has led to charges against several former congressional staffers and former Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio.
LinkJack Abramhoff has been telling friends and family in the last few months that Karl Rove was going down because he is implicated in the bribery investigations. This much I know–Abramhoff has been talking freely and fully to the FBI about Rove and what he knew and when he knew it. Whether that translates into an indictment remains to be seen.
Dan...let's assume Rove is a dirty player.. Chickenhawk in command will just pardon him...face it he is above the law..
As Karl Rove embraced President Bush today following an emotional farewell announcement on the South Lawn, the solemnity of the moment was shattered by Bill Plante of CBS, who bellowed to Bush: "If he's so smart, how come you lost Congress?"

Now this I agree with you on. Republicans are unstoppable in the majority of places when that keep their conservative roots. The republican run congress and president Bush have been too liberal for the republican base.
Not true, but history will at some point reveal the lies and deceptions of the democrats and the media.
Tell me one illegal thing that Rove is accused of that has any solid evidence.
I wasn't referring to illegal activities, I was referring to his electoral strategy.
Please....
Do you really believe a BLOG that references another BLOG without that information being contained in it?
These Bloggers are just making it up!
Damage done.
Time to get started on that "tell-all" book.
The democrats just did better at covering the states, big liberal activist help, and better at cheating the voting system.
you just can't stop blaming democrats for everything.. maybe you need a break from politics?
I just call it like I see it. Have you ever seen how many democrat operatives have been prosecuted for vote tampering in the 2004 elections? Several have, but it's not widely reported by the democrat favoring press. Ever research the truth and see how many counties with vote fraud allegations were controlled by democrat election officials? In the Florida 2000 election, the contested counties were all controlled by democrats except one, which was controlled by an independent. I believe the cry because they are in the position to effectively cheat, and do. Then when they still lose, they don't believe it and cry foul.
Now consider this. How many times vs. other people do I supply accurate information? Please don't ask me to look this up. I have linked some of it in other threads before. I'll stand by my history of accuracy.
