I’m so tired of hearing Rove being described as “Bush’s brain” or “political genius”. It suggestss he has some valuable wisdom. If you are willing to lie, cheat and steal without remorse who needs a brain. Rove’s success has always been due to his willingness to ignor the rules of law and decency. His tactics are his only contribution. This is being revealed by his powerlessness to fight a truly moral opponent like Fitzgerald.

I hope in the end, when we come to Rove’s conviction, we will all see what a truly ordinary man he is (if not extrodinary in his immorality).

Karl Rove is a emotionally stunted garden variety schoolyard bully with a brain. How he got to be in our White House working for our President has to be the most absurd set of circumstances yet imaginable. I mean its like nobody wanting to be the person who tells the boss he/she has toilet paper trailing behind him/her ... and it is out there in plain view for everyone to see.

Couple him with a rich kid with delusions of grandeur because he had a religious experience that got him off booze, and now thinks he has been chosen by Almighty God to lead us in a fight against evil ...

They aren’t just characters out of a high school Psych 101 textbook, Karl and G.W. are the prized pets of the Cheney-Rumsfeld led Neocon cabal.

I mean, we are all holding our breath wondering what kind of an October surprise they will come up with to keep from losing either the House or the Senate or both on November 7 ... and stay out of prison.

Are we really such a bunch of cowards? Isn’t time we took our nation back from these bozos?

It’s simple. We demand the truth. We call and write our elected officials at all levels and tell them, “WE WANT THE TRUTH! AND IF YOU WON’T GIVE IT TO US, WE’LL ELECT SOMEONE WHO WILL!”

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (King James Version of the New Testament, http://www.blueletterbible.org)

“All the World’s a stage and the men and women merely players.”  Both sides are reluctant to remove our even censure this president.  They both are too dependent and beholding too the Corporate money that this president represents.  They may critisise one aspect or another but it is never enough to receive anything but loose talk, no action.

I say throw them all out and start fresh.  “We the People” want to be noticed.  It would be nice if they would actually represent us.

Rove is still in charge.
