Rove's entire life has literally been politics.

I dont get it. If someone's entire life has been sports, is that better? Is there something dishonorable about being a successful political consultant?

Rove's consulting work has given him more private sector experience than the O has or ever will have. Running a political consulting firm is not a government job, it IS a private business.

If you write off every person whenever you have a political disagreement with him, you will find yourself with a very small circle of friends. This is why I believe the demonization of Karl is a mistake.

Karl Rove helped to destroy the conservative brand. We are now thought of us nagging busybody hypocrites that can't wait to get our snouts at the trough.

He is a big government "conservative" who helped GWB win, and America lose.

And the demonization of O'Donnell is more to your liking?
