CORPUS CHRISTI — Veteran political mastermind Karl Rove, President Bush’s close friend and former deputy chief of staff will headline a Wednesday, Nov. 28 fund raiser for Bay Area Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse at the Solomon P. Ortiz Center, executive director Connie Scott said Monday.
Rove was at ground zero when Bush first ran for governor against Ann Richards in 1993 and ascended with Bush to the White House, where he reigned as a top advisor until the end of August, when he stepped down.
Scott and her businessman husband Mike, have known Rove since the 1980s, said Mike Scott, who sits on the BACALA board of directors.

Piss on all the other countries. I don't care what they think. I am not interested in being popular. I am interested in defending this country and our way of life. I'll sacrifice my popularity as an American for that principal.
Besides, I do not accept the premise that the U.S. is the most hated country in the world. The media would like for you to believe that. I travel extensively and interact with foriegn visitors to this country frequently and do not experience that sentiment.

Hate breeds hate. It is truly sad that anyone ever coined the description, 'architect', for Karl Rove. Famous and respected architects design and create original structures of beauty, strength and sustainability. The only thing Karl Rove achieved was how to win an election at all costs. Due to the dumbing-down methodology used on their base and the moral superiority complex exerted over their opponents, their campaign divided our nation and altered, if not ended, many personal friendships. Rove helped to create a verbal civil-war of sorts. History will leave him and people like Tom DeLay, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and the like as footnotes to the legacy of hate-fest in the Bush administration. Above comments such as Post 13 & 14 are nothing more than simple, ignorant, and lame personal attacks, obviously written by uninformed people who have been caught up in the propaganda vacuum of Fox, aka Faux, News and Rush "Credential-LESS" Limbaugh. True skeptical thinkers get their facts from a variety of credible news sources and independent journalists. As Emerson wrote in 1842, "The two parties which divide the State, the party of Conservatism and that of Innovation are very old, and have disputed the possession of the world ever since it was made ... Now one, then the other gets the day, and still the fight renews itself as if for the first time, under new names and hot personalities ... Innovation is the salient energy; Conservatism the pause on the last movement. ...There is always a certain meanness in the argument of conservatism, joined with a certain superiority in its fact." from: The Conservative (1842) Ralph Waldo Emerson

Perhaps he will take responsibility for being the mastermind that has destroyed the all volunteer military?
Perhaps he will take responsibility for running up the largest deficit in the history of the United States?
Perhaps he will take responsibility for having the most scandal plagued executive branch ever?
Perhaps he will take responsibility for driving up oil prices, and making the Arabs the richest bunch of wackos since WWII.
Perhaps he will take responsibility for making economic policy that has made the richest folks even richer while working folks get screwed.
Perhaps pigs will fly.

"Scott and her businessman husband Mike, have known Rove since the 1980s, said Mike Scott, who sits on the BACALA board of directors."
All this means is that everyone is connected. If you are rich and someone involved you are in, if not they have a nice life. Everyone is corrupted it seems these days, Bush with oil friends, Kerry with Ketchup, Clinton with donations, Bush Sr. with the Saudi's, all the contracts for Iraq to friends companies. Oh and don't forget the gay sex stories from several states.
Also why would you want to hear someone who stepped down from a job? Doesn't that admit failure of some sort? If is was so good why is he still not there?
Also for all the Bush supporters, what has he done durning his administration that helped our country? What did Rove do in office that helped our country?
This is not an attack on them just a real question from someone who is loosing faith is all leaders democrat and republican...

President Bush has his faults no doubt. He didn't secure our borders like he should have. For that I am truely dissapointed. But he did promise America that he would take this fight over to the terrorists and keep another profound attack off our soil. He said this would take a very long time. He said that right from the start.
Osama Bin Laden has been attacking us way back since the Clintons were in office, and nothing was ever done about it. Bush showed up and had to endure the worst Terrorist Attack on US soil in the history of our Country. He vowed that he would take the fight to them. Thats exactly what he has done. He has not APPEASED THEM AS Clinton, Al Gore, or John Kerry would've done. Anything is better than the do nothing, (diplomacy only) APPEASERS!!
That is what Bush has done for our Country. History will only tell the whole story. KUMBAYA MY LORD does not work with these haters in the middle east. They hate everything about the West. Ackmadbudimwithajad said there is no such thing as a homosexual in his land of Iran. The Democraps wouldn't stand a chance in Iran. Democraps love homosexuals!

I personally do not support everything the Republicans do but on the other hand I certainly do NOT support what the Democrats stand for. Hillary Clinton is just as bad in my opinion as Bush ever was. She lies, cheats, and steals and tells you what she thinks you want to hear because of her strong desire to be in power. God willing that will never happen.

The Destroyer of Democracy, The Architect of Disaster, the biggest slimeball this side of Cheney.
He has turned our political system into one of filth and dirt, and illegally forced non-partisan government agencies and positions to commit themselves to working for the Republican Party, in clear violation of federal law.
He is widely regarded as one of the masterminds behind the Valerie Plame scandal, the illegal outing a working CIA agent and the compromization and/or deaths of American agents overseas, all to punish Plame's husband for informing the nation that Bush had lied about Iraq seeking yellowcake uranium in his case for war.
He illegally used Republican Party emails for government business instead of White House emails, and had those emails deleted to cover his tracks, in clear violation of federal law requiring all official white house business communications to be saved.
He falsely attacked Ann Richards, saying that she was a lesbian.
He falsely attacked John McCain in South Carolina, saying that he had fathered a black baby.
He falsely attacked John Kerry, a great war hero, saying that he had lied about his record (a claim later confirmed to be completely false) while at the same time, Daddy's little baby Bush was snorting coke, getting drunk, and going AWOL from his safe little National Guard hidey-hole with all of the other cowardly rich kids.
He attacked Max Cleland, a man wheel-chair bound after horrible injuries in Vietnam, calling him a traitor, weak on national security. The Republicans even stooped to running an add merging Cleland's face with Bin Laden's.
He had good, competent, hard-working United States attorneys fired because either they wouldn't prosecute innocent Democrats, or they were prosecuting guilty Republicans, or he wanted to give one of his buddies their job.
He even wouldn't let the Surgeon General attend the special olympics because the Kennedy family supported the event, and he didn't want them to have any publicity. THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS, POLITICIZED!
I could go on; there are dozens of instances of Rove's perversions of all that America stands for out there for true-blooded Americans (those who vote Democratic) to read.
Karl Rove is scum, and anyone who supports him is an anti-American TRAITOR and needs to GET OUT of this country. I cannot wait to see the day when he is brought to justice for his crimes and sent to prison for the rest of his miserable life.

Karl Rove isn't worth talking about. We just need someone to get into the White House and clean up the mess. Republicans need to stop marching blindly down a path of corruption. The Country should always come first. We should have sent soldiers to kill Osama Bin Laden and we didn't. Gasoline prices shouldn't be as high as they are, but because of Republican scare tactics, the price stays high. I don't know if I can name a benefit of having a Republican in office. They all say the same things and what they accomplish is not in the best interest of the Country. We need someone to rise up and steer our ship down a sensible path. Not one based on some weird ideology, which just so happens to benefit only the rich.
