Rove May Leave Within Weeks
U.S. News & World Report ^ | November 17, 2006

Posted on 11/17/2006 12:00:02 PM PST by West Coast Conservative

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.

My guess is that Rove is leaving and had planned on leaving at this point all along.

After all this time? With just two years to go in W's term?

Wouldn't it be funny if Stevens leaves, Bush sends Miers back up because its "all he can get", and she ends up overturning Roe V Wade and being exactly the type of judge we want but were afraid she wouldn't be?

No, it wouldn't be funny, it would just be good.

Even if it LOOKS like Karl is gone...will he really be gone?

I know. I am just kind of getting frustrated with the Administration.

The 6th year ich I guess. I am glad we have Bush instead of Kerry, but the last year has drawn a big question mark about what they what to do in the middle east.

perhaps Rove wants to align with a presidential contender for 2008.

That's what my guess is!

He's not needed by George any more.

He'll probably team up with Carvile on a new Fox Show called, "The BaldBrow Boys."

On which show they will sell their Books and their BaldBrow Gear.

I agree with Diddle. But for macaca, Ney/Cunningham and Foley giving the presstitutes cr*p to run with 24/7 the last weeks, the Gang of 14 with McVain at the helm and the months of slamming the GOP by Great American Sean Hannity, L. Ingraham and the like until just weeks before the election-- more GOPers would have voted and the indies would not have broken so seriously to the 'rats. As it was, the House and Senate fell by less than 70,000 total votes out tens of millions cast, indeed the Senate was a mere 8,000 votes. Oh yeah, Ohio GOP turnout was down a million from '04. Rove and Mehlman did all they could do...

So what's a feller to do when whut he think's is best for Americans happens to be whut the democrats think is best for Americans. And Americans isn't limited to those in the United States.

We're all a little crazy right now.

But at least we have the satisfaction of knowing we tried.

Imagine how much it must suck to be the Freepers around here who have done nothing except trash Bush and the GOP for the last seven years.

I suppose that's why they're so FRANTIC now; staring down the barrel of irrelevancy must really SUCK.

Hell, W seems to get along so good with the dems that he may not need any of us before long!

You know, it may be that the man is just beaten down with the hate that is directed at him.

I'm sure that when he thinks about his life, and the kind of person he is, he can't understand why so many people hate him.

Part of me wants him to fight, and another part of me says why should he fight when so many citizens are so detached and apathetic?

At the end of the day, it is our responsibility, and a bunch of us voted to tune out last week.

Amen!

And plenty of people around here hate him, too.

They've done their share to demoralize everybody.

Hang tough my friend. The donks and the MSM have been an anchor for GW on the middle east. Word is that he is going to tell the donks to screw off about the Iraq withdrwal and cut and run, and he will send more troops. Iraq will be stablilized and the GOP will come back stronger than ever. Voters that we lost this election will now have a chance to watch the donks try and lead and it is going to be a major disaster. GW will veto them and the repubs will finally start acting like a team unlike the Pelosi, Murtha, Hoyer debacle.
