Karl Rove - creepy s***bag

[wendybeth]

I thought liberal baiting was a favorite conservative pasttime. "What do you mean, the war is going badly? Hey, look!!! That liberal red diaper doper baby is lighting his crack-pipe with the American flag!!!!!"

Nothing like tearing into the opposition to distract people from the real issues, Jeff- it's something that ALL politicos do. Tell me, is what Durbin said really that much more important than the war? The immigration issue? Social Security? Inflation? If you follow the news, it must be. Meanwhile, the very people with the power to protect us from the bad guys have done very little in that area. They talk a lot about how we should be afraid, and why, but they have done virtually nothing to alleviate that threat. Time has an interesting article on how easily terrorists could take over a nuclear reactor, and the people guarding them are screaming for help. The government is NOT listening. Meanwhile, big business just got the go ahead to use 'eminent domain' to take anyones property away from them, if a city or township deems it economically advantageous. The right to Free Speech is being chipped away at.

Ben Franklin said it best: "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."

both sides may not suck in this decision, but both sides still suck in general.

I think that one can be a liberal or a conservative and not side with their respective parties on occasion. For instance, my Republican family (and my Alex P. Keaton brother) all voted for Kerry, having been disenchanted with W's decisions.

And I can be angry at Ginsberg et al because I think they're missing the boat.

Divert from your party line when you think they're the ones diverting from it.

Well said, LS. I am not blindly Democrat- I take things issue by issue, and vote accordingly. Which is another reason I read FoxNews and sources other than CNN and MSNBC. It's interesting to see the spin that gets put on a story, depending on the site. (I don't like the liberal spin any more than the conservative- it would be nice to just get the damn story straight up).

Which brings us back on topic to Mr. Rove. I think he's growing more arrogant with each passing day, and very soon he will cross a line that will make even the White House uncomfortable.

Fair enough and very respectable. I too "stray" away from my party from time to time(more often lately since they seem to be leaning away from the wisdom of Newt and Reagan)

I wish I shared your optimism. I agree that he is becoming more arrogant but I think it is with the full blessing of the White House. I would like to believe that there is an ethical line that they would rather not cross, but I doubt it. I think they all share in said arrogance.

Oh, yee of little faith.

Looks like maybe Rove could wind up in a very hot seat: Rove and the CIA leak


(Fingers crossed and muttering "Oh, please, oh please...." )
This may be nothing, but if he is implicated, he's toast.

I've often wondered what happened to Ralphie, the bratty kid who wanted a bb gun in A Christmas Story. Now I know.

We now bring you, BullCrap Theater



Dick Cheney: Yeehaw, we is kickin' some Arab butt. Those crazy towel heads are gonna give up any day now.

General in Iraq: The insurgency is getting stronger and smarter. More foreign fighters are entering the country than ever.

Our esteemed Commander in Chief: Look, shiny!!




Thank you, this has been another edition of BullCrap Theater. We'd like to thank our sponsor, Haliburton, to whom we somehow ended up owing money. BullCrap Theater is a wholy owned subsidiary of the China National Offshore Oil Co.

Well, say what you want about Rove, but don't blame my thread on Dick Durbin for it....there has been name calling of Rove, Bush, Cheney, etc, LONG before Dick Durbin ever got mentioned.

However, I doubt you'll find Al Jazeera playing the Rove quote over and over again to give encouragement and fuel to the terrorists.
