Including draft dodging and history of dirty tricks...

Senator Max Cleland:
“Karl Rove was behind it all, it’s part of his smear campaign to tarnish to tarnish the records and service of Vietnam Veterans, and now he’s doing it again. I find it interesting that three different people have had to resign from basically the Bush Campaign and their official duties because of this ad, because they are all tied together.”

Senator Bob Kerrey:
“If the question is whether or not there is any independence left between the campaign and these swift boat ads, that question has now been answered. Karl Rove has been in enough political campaigns to understand how separate you need to be from these independent efforts and he just ended that separation. If Ginsberg resigned, so should he.”

WHERE WERE THEY?
KARL ROVE – TOO BUSY WORKING ON CAMPAIGNS
ROVE GOT STUDENT DEFERMENT, THEN DROPPED OUT OF COLLEGE. According to the Bush campaign, Rove drew the number 84 in the draft lottery when he graduated from high school in 1969 and received a student deferment upon enrolling at the University of Utah that fall. In the fall of 1971, after transferring to the University of Maryland, he was notified by his draft board in Salt Lake City that his student deferment had been revoked. Rove then was put into the extended priority status, which Schmidt said made him among the first eligible to be called in early 1972, but he was not called.

ROVE WORKED ON CAMPAIGNS, COLLEGE REPUBLICANS. “Rove acknowledges that, in 1970, he used a false identity to gain entry to the campaign offices of Illinois Democrat Alan Dixon, who was running for state treasurer. Once inside, Rove swiped some letterhead stationery and sent out 1,000 bogus invitations to the opening of the candidate’s headquarters promising ‘free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing.’” In 1971, Karl Rove quit college to become executive director of the College Republicans. From 1973-74, Rove worked as an assistant to Bush’s father at the RNC. Rove opposed compulsory service and avoided the draft, winning high school debates with his views. But Rove supported Nixon in Vietnam, saying, “I was living in a relatively conservative state , and it was hard to sympathize with all those Commies,” he says.

1. ROVE = LYING DRAFT DODGING PIECE OF SHIT

sorry for the profanity :-(

[Catfight]

2. Let's bring out ALL the truth...what a scumbag backstabbing cheating

person. Rove would profile as a serial killer, someone who is introverted and anti-social, who hates people and he has no boundaries to live by. He really is a social-path.

3. Ha! He's either read "Bush's Brain" or

has seen the DVD! That story about Alan Dixon's office is in the movie! WooHoo!

Also, will he be SAYING this on TV ....at rallies so people can hear it or is it just printed on his web site where only his supporters go? People who are undecided need to hear this stuff.

5. they cite "Bush's Brain"

:bounce:

7. Thank g-d!!!

4. vile putrid grotesque creature Rove wanted Kerry to die in Vietnam

6. Rove--who's Rove...huh?--never heard of the guy---who??

Above is the response of the average American. This is the stuff that Kerry is wasting time on. Use the names BUSH or CHENEY (even Cheney might evoke a huh-who? from a lot of people.) I mean it's like talking to me about the manger of some baseball team. I'm lucky I could name two active baseball players much less some team manager. You see, the Bush campaign doesn't go after the Kerry team, they go after KERRY!!! .....when will we ever learn, when will we ever learn....

8. Yes - the Bush team goes after Kerry. But BUSH DOESN'T

That what those of you who keep insisting that Kerry go into full attack mode don't seem to understand. It is NOT Kerry's job to attack his opponent. He needs to stay on message and stay above the fray and let his surrogates do the down and dirty work. That's what Bush does. He NEVER says anything bad about anyone, and thereby avoids the appearance of being petty and underhanded. He lets his surrogates go after Kerry in hopes that it will throw Kerry off his game and make him jump into the gutter with his accusers.

Kerry is too smart for that. Too bad some of his supporters keep falling into the trap.

10. everyone understands the concept of a goon

it's not too complicated for Kerry to shine a spotlight on the Bush gang's #1 goon.

11. KKKRove is a HUGE DANGER.

If you haven't seen the movie.."Bush's Brain" I suggest you get a copy. You will change your mind. KKKRove will DESTROY Kerry before this is over if they don't do something about him NOW. He will do whatever it takes to win...legal, or not. Ethical or not. He must be dealt with. However, I think he should have been dealt with YEARS ago, not 2 months before the most important election of our lifetime.

9. Has anyone held such a high WH position with only a High School degree?

I find it astonishing. This is the least-educated administration in history, IMO. Rove is a drop-out. Cheney flunked out of Yale. Bush Junior with his gentleman's C's. It must be so humiliating for them.
