It was one helluva ride, that's for sure,, and it ain't over yet.

The thing about Rove is his crazy hair. People with crazy hair are usually brilliant.

Rove’s own word came into doubt when a White House spokesman, after checking with him, denied that the strategist was involved in the leak of a CIA agent’s identity. Turned out, Rove was one of the leakers.


For a second there I thought he was talking about that supersleuth Valerie...the news media is so predictable.

his driving ambition _ create a governing coalition that would outlast the Bush presidency
He's a good guy, but he has a problem with the letter 'C'.

He focused too much on making Coalition, and too little on being Conservative.

Bush, a disciplined candidate with a clear vision for his presidency, defeated Democrat John Kerry, a weak candidate with a fractious campaign.
In fact, under Rove's guidance, the Republicans pulled out a decent win from the jaws of a landslide. They should have trounced that mealy-mouthed medal-faker, but they didn't. They squeaked by in a single show-down state: Ohio. And they might have even lost to the flip-flopping traitor if it wasn't for the Swift Boat Vets. When I think of 2004, I don't think overly generous thoughts about Karl Rove.

Bush's biggest mistake _ using 9/11 to divide Democrats and Republicans rather than uniting the public behind a grand cause or shared sacrifice.

What a crock of Fournier! The division occurred when the Democrats focus-grouped their strategy to depict Bush as an evil, traitorous liar.

Oh, really? It turned out that way? Where did it turn out that way? On the planet Zanklon? Because here on earth, it turned out to be a State Department leak.

None of these inside-the-Beltway clowns get it yet. Rove’s, and Bush’s and the RINO’s downfall was the arrogant jihad for amnesty and open borders that was totally out of touch with the will of the vast majority of the American people.

This liberal clown, Ron Fournier of the AP, like the rest of the left wing MSM, are themselves so into amnesty and open borders to increase Dem voters and the welfare state that they also can’t see that their pet cause was Bush’s and Rove’s demise. So they look for Social Security or Iraq.

This is bi-partisan stupidity by these elites. Neither of them deserves to be in charge. We are governed by morons.

Yeah fournier, we should care what you think about the President and Rove, why? If a democrat was in office on 9/11 we’d probably be celebrating ramadan and payin’ jizya by now.

I’d like to know what his advice was to the President concerning the “comprehensive” immigration bill. Was he as out of step with the public as the President? Was he also “surprised” by the outrage of the American citizens? Or, did he tell the President the truth but he just didn’t believe him.

"Analysis:
Rove Helped Make, Break Bush (AP..)"

Rove may have "helped make" Bush,
but Bush broke himself!

When a guy wins the Presidency he and his advisors are geniuses,when their Party loses the majority in mid-term elections they’re idiots.Rove was an advisor to George Bush like Dick Morris once was to Bill Clinton,no more, no less.At the end of the day as a sign on Harry Truman’s desk in the Oval Office said, “The buck stops here”, and how the political landscape plays out is the President’s call,not his advisors !!!

Rove was the strategist behind the failure to prevent illegal aliens from entry, I was told by a local GOP pol. Arrogantly, the WH failed to address the matter because they hoped to get corporate donations based on cheap labor. Therefor I doubt that the promised reforms will be implemented.

If Rove appears in another candidate’s campaign, then you know the candidate will continue Bush’s loosing policies and is doomed to defeat (HOPEFULLY).
