the democrats have nothing except abortion and gay marriage.

the only thing left to them is ad hominem attacks and obstructionism.

they use the cliche "where there's smoke there's fire", knowing full well that some tv moron will believe that something's wrong.

there is no fire.

The Dems live in a world where "there is no spoon."

Is there really any doubt about his survival? Is there any conservative candidate running for office who wouldn't want Karl Rove on his side?

I don't even see him resigning - there is simply nothing that has been made public that would suggest a need for that but even if that were to happen, Rove has been highly successful as a private citizen.

This may not be a popular thing to say here, but if I think the real downside is for Scot McClellan who has not handled this well.

I think this article is great. I think most people would agree there was probably no violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act. So the primary remaining issue is if Rove committed perjury. But I agree with the author..."If Rove lied to the grand jury investigating this case, I expect Rove himself would have already resigned".

And they're stuck in the time of Vietnam and Nixon. Everything has to have a correlation to those 2 events in American history. I believe that's also true of the liberal media.

WOW---that article was packed with information and opinion!

Rush said that Karl Rove is scheduled to host a fundraiser in Maryland for Michael Steele in a month or so....and from what Rush says , the dems are already screaming that he should not be allowed to go!

All I know is, if I were a candidate, even if Bush had to "fire" him, I would hire him in a New York minute!

Questions of how Rove got the information initially probably do need to be asked

I'll bet that question was asked

And I'll bet Rove truthfully answered it

I will say it again: Karl never gets caught with his pants down.



Well so far anyway.... However he has done some things over his career and had to fess up.... Stole some letter head paper from an opponent and used it to fake a free beer thing among college students and drifters... He faked his own phone being bugged and blamed it on the democrats during the 1986 Texas governors race and was dismissed by GWH Bush for leaking to Novak in 1992....

The media seems overtly eager, perhaps politically motivated, to go after Rove on this issue

a media generated uproar

Does anyone doubt any longer that the OLD MEDIA is part of the Democrat party?!

I suppose to them Karl Rove telling a dumb*ss reporter they were about to write a bogus story is more important than the dumb*ss media asking Bill Clinton if he raped Juanita Brodderick which they NEVER did. And you can bet they will NEVER ask Hillary Clinton any serious questions about ANYTHING if/when she runs for president.

I can't stand OLD MEDIA and couldn't care less if they fell off a cliff. They don't even pretend to be fair about their so-called reporting. Just trying to listen to a White house news briefing is almost impossible. They try to out do one another in being obnoxious.

The Old Media consists almost entirely of Democrats. So they beat up on Republicans, not Democrats. I'd like to see them all take a big, Dan Rather-type fall.

Never. Bush respects loyalty and steadfastness, somewhat lacking in the Senate...

I can't see Frist as the front runner. More like George Allen to me.
