1. Bush won't pardon him
He'll let him hang.

3. I think your wrong
I think not only will Rove be pardoned, I expect they'll rub our faces in it just to make clear that they can do any damn thing they want.

The coup has been complete for some time now. All that is left is cluing in the American public to the fact.

5. I think you're right-- these rats take care of their own...
...and don't care what anyone thinks. Bush is done anyway-- what does he have to lose?

7. It depends on whether
Bush thinks he can go on without him, IMO.

But I see your point. Who knows? Makes me feel kinda dirty to think about it too hard, you know?

29. Why not? Tom Delay has been indicted and is still running things
on the House floor. Why wouldn't the idiot have KKKRove running the midterm elections? Laws, indictments, scandal, misdeeds, and criminal activities mean NOTHING to repukes. KKKRove will still be doing his thing behind closed doors.

14. Sometime after the indictments are handed down (and remember,
the indicted ones will NOT step down) there will be a BIG "terrorist" attack on some blue city and Bush will claim he has to declare martial law "for the good of the country", and he will pardon all the indicted ones also "for the good of the country" because they will be needed so badly by their country in time of crisis.

2006 elections will not happen because it "won't be safe".

Just my little prediction.

26. "rub our faces in it" - exactly
Just like the already-indicted Tom Delay willfully breaking House rules today to strong-arm Republican votes for the smelly oil refining bill. Once again the minority wins. "Any damn thing they want" indeed.

8. I disagree.
If Bush were going to throw Rove overboard, he would have done so as soon as Rove's involvement in the Plame case had been revealed.

I suspect that Rove is part of an inner circle of Bush loyalists who are considered untouchable. All these guys in the inner circle are roped together. One guy goes overboard and they all go.

Trust me... If Rove is convicted, he will get a pardon. Hell, Rove might even get pardoned before he is convicted.

17. Fair chance Bush may pardon him, but it would be the end of Bush.
Corrupt Cronyism is the epitome of the Bush regime and is at the root of the venality and all the evil that has flowed. Pardoning Rove would be like Nixon firing the prosecutor, the beginning of the end, the point of no return.

30. Bush doesn't care if he's finished in politics. He won't be running again.
Now, the repukes in Congress may care, but the idiot won't.

2. I Love The Smell Of Indictments In The Morning.
Edited on Fri Oct-07-05 08:33 PM by ocelot
If KKKarl or any of those other turkeyfuckers is indicted for anything -- revealing the identity of a covert agent, revealing classified information, perjury, obstruction of justice, any damn thing at all -- it doesn't really matter whether they are actually tried or convicted or imprisoned (though that would be really sweet); the result is essentially the same. How does an adminsitration maintain any credibility except among the few unreconstructed Kool-Aid-swilling true believers -- when its high-ranking officials are charged with serious felonies involving national security?

9. Yeah but don't forget Bush is paling with just a few card left
not even close to a half a deck---Iraq War - Katrina-Rita I belive 68% of the country thinks he's a flook --- even his "evangelical base" is not going for the war.

And this this whack-job is telling him god is telling him what to do do???

this is a sick MF....!

Fitz will undoubtedly name Cheney as a unindicteed co-conspirator if he doesn't name Bush-shit himself...the higher senior administrator official...I doubt if it's Perle or Wolfawitz...!

16. Where did Rove come from, anyway?
I don't remember his name in politics in the 80's or 90's--was I just not paying attention? What was he doing, where'd he come from?

19. Hear Here (and welcome to DU!) :hellosmily: ;-)
http://www.karlrove.com/

From the commentary page:

"It's safe to say that outrage over Rove's behavior will depend on party affiliation, but even the most partisan should find extreme behaviors sickening."

-- Duane Dudek
MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL


"This no-frills documentary has a very specific theme: Karl Rove drives Bush. And He's willing to break rules and people in order to keep Bush in power."

27. Thank you. You're welcomed. :-)
I just wish I had welcomed you with a better "subject" than that coward profiteer (did they put some "pinky" lipstick on his pig face or is it just my monitor here?? LOL), but anyhow, DU is a very good source of information that is (almost) never "broadcasted" on any major network in the US because the criminal radicals (the rw extremists of the PNAC or their "associates," for example) managed to acquire and take over the ownership of these (so-called) "news" corporations (the ones their freeptard supporters falsely call "Librul-Media").

Do you know about the PNAC's plans to dominate the world (but in reality, they're super-rich idiot lunatics who have no idea how to govern for the people who pay their salaries, only ideas how to defraud them and are pretty successful--for some time--at doing so?)

21. and here, an atlantic monthly "Karl Rove in a Corner" has a lot of history
of his noxious deeds:

http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200411/green

<snip>

Karl Rove is at his most formidable when running close races, and his skills would be notable even if he used no extreme methods. But he does use them. His campaign history shows his willingness, when challenged, to employ savage tactics

23. Thank you!
Rove's always made me nervous as hell. It always seems like there's somebody else inside his body--like what we see on the outside isn't him at all! I mean, he makes me SO nervous, I'm not sure I could even stand to be in the same room with him, ya know?

18. I keep wondering if Rove will sell out Bush
After all, Rove seems to hold the upper hand. He's the one who picked Bush, and "made" him. If he thinks he's gonna go down, might he not take Bush with him? I think it is Bush who owes the loyalty to Rove, not the other way around.

But that's just me.

28. If Bush pardons him....
Can pardons be overthrown by the senate? This gives the president too much power.
