Screw that Racist bas !!!
LONDON (Marke ch) -- Karl Rove, President Bush's longtime political adviser, told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published on Monday that he's going to resign on Aug. 31 and return to Texas.
"I just think it's time," Rove said in the interview with the newspaper. "There's always something that can keep you here, and as much as I'd like to be here, I've got to do this for the sake of my family." Read interview at WSJ.com
Rove said he expects Democrats to give the 2008 presidential nomination to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom he described as "a tough, tenacious, fatally flawed candidate."
He also said Republicans have "a very good chance" to hold onto the White House in next year's elections.

If it was really for the sake of 'his family' then should stay in Washington indefinitely. Why is it that when a Republican quits in disgrace it's always for the 'sake of his family'?
Screw that Racist bas !!!
Do you have a decent shred of evidence it's in disgrace?
NO! You don't.
You are a Kool-Aid drinking Lemming. You believe what the left pundits say without independent verification.
I pity how your life is if you live it that way.
My God. If you continually had liars at your feet on a daily basis, wouldn't you consider quitting?
Consider this. Innocent or guilty of what he is said to have done, it doesn’t matter. He is a drain of other republicans because of the main scream media's influence and the ignoramuses that believe them. For that reason, his actions can be considered noble.
Rove and his "Southern Strategy Reloaded" can go straight to !!!
Why, because you believe the liars in the media?
Well he did have an idea to create a long term GOP majority..too bad it alienated the rest of the country. His political strategy single handidly divided this country by governing for the 51% majority. Mathew Dowd said that remember him? So if you think his justification for dividing this country is good thing then I pity you. None of this is media driven...Rove got off pissing off the democrats, but in the end he did get his majority after all.
By the way he's a drain on this country..good riddance karl I hope you burn in ..
Mr. Dowd, a crucial part of a team that cast Senator John Kerry as a flip-flopper who could not be trusted with national security during wartime, said he had even written but never submitted an op-ed article led “Kerry Was Right,” arguing that Mr. Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat and 2004 presidential candidate, was correct in calling last year for a withdrawal from Iraq.
“I think we should design campaigns that appeal not to 51 percent of the people,” he said, “but bring the country together as a whole.”
Mr. Dowd established himself as an expert at interpreting polls, giving Karl Rove, the president’s closest political adviser, and the rest of the Bush team guidance as they set out to woo voters, slash opponents and exploit divisions between Democratic-leaning states and Republican-leaning ones.
In television interviews in 2004, Mr. Dowd said that Mr. Kerry’s campaign was proposing “a weak defense,” and that the voters “trust this president more than they trust Senator Kerry on Iraq.”
But he was starting to have his own doubts by then, he said.

BS. he will still control that muppet Bush from his farm
Who says he's quitting "in disgrace?" What disgrace?
The way I see it. What's left to do?
Bush isn't running for re-election. All of the Rove-inspired policies are in place and will either be played out or changed to meet emerging conditions -- something that can be done in his absence.
, if I were him, I'd resign too. He can make a killing as a consultant, outside government service. And, I suspect President Bush can always pick up the phone and call him should the need arise. Just look at Karen Hughes.
I think he's just sick and tired of Washington.
Most of the country is sick and tired of him as well. Good riddance Mr 'Govern for the 51%'. Thanks for unting the country karl you did a fine job..
I'm sure the feeling is mutual.Most of the country is sick and tired of him as well. Good riddance Mr 'Govern for the 51%'. Thanks for unting the country karl you did a fine job..
I'm sure this business of asking questions about every policy choice that Rove seeks to implement is a major bother. And who has the timerity to think that those who haven't been elected but seek to make and implement national policy should be subject to such scrutiny?!?!? Will this meddlesome national media ever learn?
One recalls the outcry when HRC was involved in policy early in WJC's 1st term.
Props to Rove for making the GOP an unacceptable electoral option for those who want the government out of their pocketbooks, off their backs, and out of their bedrooms, as the patron saint of Republican conservatism once observed.
Barry G must be spinning in his grave.
So, the president's not allowed advisors now? That should be interesting...
Outside the President and Vice-President, no one in the administrative branch is elected. And, all of them seek to implement policies that advance a president's agenda.
What's your point?
His agenda divided this country..
That's a fairly weak criticism of a president and his advisers.
how about finishing the job? doesn't matter if he is quitting at beginning, middle or end of the term. He is "quitting". damn quitter
Regardless of the reasoning, this calls for a happy dance.
Few of those bureaucrats are actually making policy as Rove was. If by "tired of Washington" you meant "sick of being scrutinized," then I'd argue that Rove got precisely what he bargained for. I'd also argue that one chooses to put himself to substantially greater scrutiny by advocating for diminished transparency in the wielding of executive power -- something, IMO, that Rove has yearned to accomplish during his time in DC.
How can you say that. It's the democrats that continue to drive wedges, dividing this nation.
I suspect you're going to lose more sleep and devote more time thinking about his departure than is he.
He was successful at what he did while he did it. You obviously didn't like the results but, oh well.
What job would you have him finish?
I honestly couldn't care less.
What exactly did Rove accomplish? All I've seen is an expansion of federal government power and expenditure at an unconscionable rate for an allegedly "conservative Republican" administration. The GOP will be lucky to win one presidential election again in the next decade thanks in no small part to his electoral strategies and their impact on policy.
The GOP had the presidency and both Congressional houses. Now the Demos control the house and I would be surprised if a GOP candidate manages to pull 45% of the popular vote in the next presidential election. Some great legacy.
Given the way Congress is looking, I think it's about a 50/50 chance either side could take it all in November '08.
Hey, maybe he's resigning so he can hatch his Rovian plot to be President!!!
