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."
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.
