The rumors that chief White House political architect Karl Rove will leave sometime next year are being bolstered with new insider reports that his partisan style is a hurdle to President Bush's new push for bipartisanship. A key Bush advisor tells the US News Political Bulletin, "Karl represents the old style and he's got to go if the Democrats are going to believe Bush's talk of getting along." The advisor said a departure might come in "weeks, not months." A Rove ally, however, noted that he has a record of out-witting his critics.
Maybe behind the scenes...but, I don't think they will say anything until after the primaries are over..
Don't like someone from Oct saying it? Ok, I'll say it: Rove has been a disaster.
I don't think you will ever be IATRYMB again.
"Always remember, the Demos are aborting themselves out of existence"
But the flood of illegal aliens into the US will more than assure that we will never again be the majority...whether the liberals are aborting themselves out of existence or not.

I voted for Bob Corker, Republican, TN., for US Senate. And we won, too.
AMEN!!!!
Drive By Media. The general public don't know it if the media won't tell it and tell it often. John Q. Public likes catchy slogans like "Its time for a change" or "throw the bums out!"
Sorry Howlin, but I don't know what you mean by Patsies and Stormtroopers...if that makes me ignorant, oh well!
I have always liked and respected President Bush, but I think he's too weak, too "go-along-to-get-along," and has never gone after the Left ruthlessly. I also don't think he is a conservative, but I campaigned heavily for him both terms, making hundreds of phone calls and walking many precincts, as well as for my local Senator and Congressman, and several Pro-Life measures on the ballot.
It just seems like President Bush, and the GOP as a whole, are content to be the minority party, like the bad ol' days of Bob Michel that I remember with such dread.

the one thing Rove supposedly taught everyone was that the secret to winning elections was to energize the base. Hannity, Limbaugh, etc. would have been glad to have helped energize that segment that would have voted on this theme that sat home instead because they weren't as energized by the war in Iraq as they are by the WOT.
We didn't elect Dubya six years ago to get along with Democrats.
We elected him to NOT get along with Ds.
I think what we're going to see out of the prez for the next couple of years is a rubber stamp for whatever the RATS want. He's already proved that he's a big spending liberal, and that's right up their alley.
The election is over and now Bush has the RATS all lined up to help him pass a broad amnesty with more benefits for illegals than Americans have.
Tell that to some of the whiners here in FR.
I see it already happening for 2008, too.
Don't some folks find the combination of your position and your screen-name confusing?
what Democrats have left to show that they want to be Bipartisan
Why doesnt Bush resign to show he is serious about being bipartisan? Hell if he feels so damn guilty ,just get the hell out of town....NOW
