Pop Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) Source Rove became one of Washington's most influential figures during Bush's presidency. He is known as a ruthless political warrior who has an encyclopedic command of political minutiae and a wonkish love of policy. Rove met Bush in the early 1970s, when both men were in their 20s. Once inside the White House, Rove grew into a right-hand man. Rove is expected to write a book after he leaves. He disclosed his departure in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. He said he decided to leave after White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten told senior aides that if they stayed past Labor Day they would be obliged to remain through the end of the president's term in January 2009. Tentative prediction - he's leaving to begin engineering the Repug campaign. Edited August 13, 2007 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Guard Dog Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Sounds about right. He will be hidden deep behind whatever candidate he is working for though. His name is a real negative.

Pop Posted August 13, 2007 Author Posted August 13, 2007 Not negative enough that they won't embrace him. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Guard Dog Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 They might, but I would be surprised. I think there will be a real effort by the Repubs to be Not Bush. I'd expect we will be seeing all new faces this time. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Kaftan Barlast Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I think Cheney should run for President, that would be so awesome, like when the Penguin ran for mayor in Batman.

Sand Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 You are thinking of Libby, who had his sentence commuted. Hell, Paris Hilton saw more jail time than that bugger. I for one don't care what republican decides to hire Rove. I am voting Democrat down the line this next election. NO MORE REPUBS AS PRESIDENT! EVAR!

Meshugger Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I bet it is just another calculated risk done by the mighty Rove.

theslug Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Voting down the line is irresponsible. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
Sand Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Voting down the line is irresponsible. Well, its either Democrat or Republican for the most part and I don't want to see a single Republican holding a public office.. If there is an Independent that looks like he or she have the possibility of winning then I may vote that way, but I will vote against Republican down the line.

Sand Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) I rather have progress made than nothing getting done at all. Since the majority of my views coincide with the Democrats then that is the way I will go.

taks Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 If history has taught us anything it's that bad things happen when one party or the other holds all the cards. Better to have congress split whoever is in the White House. that's why nothing is getting done now, which is a good thing (nobody can make the situation worse), and very little got done during clinton's presidency (republican house). win-win when there's a split. one of the biggest reasons bush looks so bad compared to many others is that the house, senate and presidency were all republican. not a veto in sight and they all spent like they were democrats (there's never a difference between parties when they have control). taks comrade taks... just because.
Walsingham Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 It seems extraordinary to me - and on this occasion I am not suggesting I am right - that anyone could view a government that does nothing at such a crucial moment in the nation's history as a good thing! I was raised on statesmen like William Pitt, Benjamin Disraeli, Nye Bevan, Winston Churchill. Statesmen who used their authority to steer the ship of state, not sit drinking mai tais on the sundeck.
