Serious question about Rove: Is he on the federal payroll or the RNC's?

[BurtWorm]

Has there ever been another member of an administration who is in charge of electing the prez's party members to Congress/

When the Dems acquire subpoena power, do they have a case to charge the administration for misusing US government dollars for the partisan purposes?

Wouldn't the Republicans do that to a Dem if they were running a Congressional campaign from the WH?

:wtf:

1. He's on the Fed payroll as an ass't to asshole.

3. But everyone knows he's been working on Republican political campaigns.

Is that legal? Under the Repubs, who was going to complain, but under the Dems, shouldn't they investigate?

10. I seem to recall Repugs trying to charge Al Gore

with a violation of Federal Election rules for making a few phone calls from his office....

So how is Karl Rove able to orchastrate three campaigns from the White House?

Oh, I forget. Another Republican tactic: Don't like the rules? Re-write them.

11. We also pay for press secretaries

to just about every politician in the country from mayors on up.

I would rather keep my money and make the fuckers speak for themselves.

2. There's a difference? n/t

4. The President runs the party and the executive branch

To a great extent. While Roves is unusually visible (and a vile vampiric monster), I don't know that it's that unusual to have people on staff to work the politics. At least not in modern presidencies.

5. Who did that in the Clinton administration?

7. Stephanopolus - Morris for a bit. Blumanthal to a certain extent

Those are who I would think. Probably others i'm not thinking of.

6. He is probably paid by both the RNC and government.

That's a standard practice - they parse out his time and pay him separately.

8. I bet he is paid by both. Presidents and RNC

I think this running stuff is to much on our taxes my self. Must cost us Millions for air force one. This President seem to run all the time. Next two years I am willing to bet he will travel the world. He has to be tops in this.

9. Today all I care about is

if he is visibly demolishing democracy AGAIN. And I am wondering if anyone is trying desperately to distract him from his orchestration of theft-perhaps his phone might get jammed-smashed or otherwise deemed unusable. Maybe someone would serve him dinner that would make him sick and therefore he would be indisposed during the end of the important races....

12. No doubt that he is on the federal payroll. However, I wouldn't

be surprised if he's getting kick backs and bribes from the RNC. That whole party has been comandeered by criminals and crooks.
