Karl Rove Resigning Aug 31
tetrahedrassface writes "According to CNN current Bush Administration political advisor Karl Rove will be resigning his post as senior political advisor at the end of August to spend more time with his family. Few if any prior senior political advisors to presidents have been the lightning rods for controversy that Mr. Rove has. Accused of running smear campaigns and celebrated for pioneering district level up campaigns that rely heavily on databases and fake grassroots origins, Mr Rove is one of the chief architects of the Republican Revolution."
Tits or GTFO.
"Rove said the first thing he plans to do after leaving the White House is "go dove hunting in West Texas with family and friends..."
Oooh cool! If he brings along Cheney, they could shoot his friends AND family in the face!!!
Seriously though... Who the hell shoots doves??? Isn't that like drowning babies?
-ubuntu others as you would have others ubuntu you.
So an employee of the US Intelligence Service, and also the Dept. of Homeland Security was kind enough to post his thoughts on this matter. (really, check his homepage) Oh wait, you didnt post your thoughts at all, you just posted a few rambling paragraphs about nothing relevant at all within seconds of the article being posted.
And since you typed all that within 1 minute of the article posted, it is just dripping with authenticity.
This is the best part: instead recognizing that the internet can simply deluge us with an increasingly unprecedented level of information about any person or group which may pique our interest, allowing a wide range of ever more specific issues and minutia to be amplified to levels never witnessed in the past.
Is this 'unprecedented' level of information in contrast to being spoon-fed information by corporate news? Does is scare you when the unwashed masses have such unprecedented access to information?
Whoever modded parent a troll is wrong. It is very relevant to Rove's drives and motivations. Also, the question of Rove's preferences is indeed backed by observations by the Washington press corps, which dares not bring it up in print, but does talk about it as an open secret in private. The stories about Jeff Gannon spending many overnights in the White House as documented by Secret Service logs have never been correlated with the comings and goings of Rove and his office in the White House. Gannon's cover as a member of the press would have provided a perfect cover story for liasons with Rove, also. In these contexts, Rove 'leaving for his family' is yet another example of the constant lies coming out of this administration.
Hillary's a what? A Moderate? Her political philosophy and practice is a combination of Mussolini, Stalin, and Chavez. I suppose if there's anything that would get her called a moderate, it would be refusing to promise to remove all troops immediately from Iraq. No one is going to do that if elected. No one running is that insane. She's just smart enough to know better than to try to benefit now at the expense of her political power once in office, by promising to do something that's, a key issue to many in her base, that she knows she won't follow through on.
Yeah if you wanna see all your civil liberties and freedoms taken away as well as things like the Net Neutrality Act or Universal Health Care. We should start practicing our Seig Heils now if it becomes apparent anyone except Ron Paul is elected, cause if he isn't, that's exactly the direction this country is headed.
Slashdot is first an foremost a liberal site, which occasionally reviews things that are somewhat related to tech. But first and foremost, its a site for Bush haters and 9/11 conspiracy theorists.
But, it IS them versus us. It's not a trap, it's life. If you think this is not a zero-sum game, then quit crying when you lose elections.
I suggest that you take off your blinkers. On second thought, leave them on. Keep on believing that bipartisan politics is not actually date rape.
Republicans are under no such illusions, and we're not the ones letting ourselves get raped.
No weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men.-Ronald Reagan
Wow, did you read what you just wrote? Ask yourself why righties hated Clinton. The only thing they ever talked about was Monica. Now, ask about Bush and you'll hear specifics on POLICY decisions. Hatred for a president of the opposite party isn't an automatic. For some incomprehensible reason people on both sides liked Reagan.
All you know about Fred Thompson is that he tries to act like Reagan. Newt ran himself out of the race by being a hypocrite. All you know about Carter is that Republicans bash him so he must have been bad (it was the hostage crisis that killed his reelection hopes not his performance as President).
I swear to God...I swear to God! That is NOT how you treat your human!
I couldn't agree more. Where I come from gentlemen don't answer questions about the ladies they've had.
And what kind of constipated moron (CM) would hold an afternoon BJ against any hardworking president? Somehow that makes him unfit to lead the country? Bullshit. I want my president to be relaxed and clear headed and if he feels the need for a little head before dinner he should get it. Why do the people who hate Bubba's lying about sex have no problem with Bush lying about WMDs and his real reasons for invading Iraq? Maybe because they're CMs.
What are you talking about? Bush is one of the few men in Washington willing to stand up for the Constitution and defend it.
Bush risked many things for what he believed in. Some of those things he lost. He lost a great deal of political capital by insisting on reforming Social Security, because it was the right thing to do, despite the entire political establishment of both parties being against it. He lost a lot of credibility which greatly undermined his power, by taking a lone and unpopular position on Iraq, in front of the whole world, based on the intelligence available to him, because he believed it was the right thing to do for the country and for the world. Bush is the closest thing we've had to another Lincoln, and in time history will remember him that way. And so will Iraq.
Bush has done no such thing. Bush has insisted on maintaining our ability to spy on our military adversaries, to protect the country, as is his duty under the Constitution. I have a hard time believing you honestly can't tell the difference between insisting on the good of protecting the country, with intimidating people into submission. What person has been intimidated by him, or is afraid of him, other than Osama and his cohorts?
The thing is, standing with the man who cheated on her does look bad.
:)
Before you mod me done or shove a hundred cheating conservatives at me, there is a reason why. Hilary stands as a role model to all woman. She has set herself up in that position. I don't know if feminist is still a pc word, but it was a word that described her in the past.
Now she has shown that she needs a man to keep her career going.
Now you can mod me as a troll
Have you even read the articles on his executive orders here, the BBC anywhere?
How about the one where the government can now IN SECRET, presenting no evidence or holding no hearing or trial as GUARANTEED by the Constitution, seize your assets? How is that "protecting the constitution?"
Tell me how that sounds like this:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Comparing the man for whom it is well known historians are planning to mark as the worst President in US history to Lincoln is a pretty far stretch. Perhaps you should get more sources than Fox News.

Republican TrollMods want more MyLais, less truth. Who better than TrollMods to worship a yesman like Powell?
