Karl Rove Helps Steer Big Money To Conservative Groups Trying To Sway Midterm Races

Politics Daily:

Since leaving the George W. Bush White House, Karl Rove has transitioned from political strategist to analyst. But he's still active in elections behind the scenes, helping to steer millions of dollars to conservative groups trying to influence congressional contests, according to an investigation published Thursday by The Center for Public Integrity.

Karl Rove is a great American. Once known as the architect of the Bush campaign, he helped Bush win twice as president. If either Gore or Kerry had won the country would have been much worse off. Now he is helping ma

He was a Pimp for Nixon, a Pimp for Bush and now a Pimp for the entire GOP trying to win back seats and power. Once a Pimp always a Pimp.

Rove, already made a big mistake dissing O'Donnell, now he has flipped, (like a typical GOP), and the rest of the party will now kiss up to the EXTREME right just like McCan't did, and we saw how well that went ...Everyone knew that McCan't was holding his nose and kissing up. I resent the fact that the GOP thinks that everyone in our country is sooo stupid they will not see through this sham to get the Tp VOTES.

You know, I never wish anyone bad luck. But in Karl's case I'll make an exception.

Rove would have had a hard time running such a scheme from prison. You see - inaction has consequences too.l

It seems the "repub ladies" are telling Rove to shut up and sit down :). He can't tell them what to do even though he "owns" their husbands and other male political acquaintances. The men of the party are scared $hitless of Rove and do whatever he says. The women are saying "he// no, we won't go there" and pushing out on their own. They won't stop until they fall flat on their faces whimpering back to their male counterparts after their failures wondering what happened and how.

They don't understand yet that "men" run this country and are not trying to give up that power. But you go girls and forge ahead making room for the "good girls" to follow one day. We're right on your heels, learning what NOT to do to make our point more successful than yours in the future. Plus we're young, pliable, and willing to learn, which you tarts are not.

The future is going to be about "people" running, not parties like it is now. People will take the stage and make their play for positions and it's not going to matter what party they come from or belong to. Parties are becoming passe and will one day be a thing of the past.

We're evolving nice people, even though it might not seem like it right now. We're going through the labor pains of our new birth at this moment and will one day see how it all came about.

This evil and amoral man has brought shame to this country and our political process. It's unbelievable that he is again allowed to operate AGAINST the interest of the American Democracy. He should be in jail...I'm sure there are many of his actions that have crossed the line of legality if there were a proper investigation.

When the books are written on this chapter of American history - it's not going to be kind to Karl Rove.

The man has singlehandedly done everything he can to corrupt the system and to buy (steal) America for a few shadowy white men. I'd say he and Rupert will be the book's examples of treachery personified.

Agreed. I hope people will remember them for a long time.

I still shake my head over how Rove and his ilk have managed to stay in power, with none of the slime they generate sticking to them. Our country shocks me. Remember Kenneth Starr and the money he cost us along with all the damage to programs President Clinton was working on. What Clinton did in his private life, this bunch has done quite publicly to all of us over this time and they keep getting away with it. What if they had been on the loose when Kennedy or Eisenhower were President? They would have done the same damage then. Who are all these people that applaud this sham morality? It's like America got dropped on its head and this is the result.

Hannity lovingly calls Rove "The Architect" when he introduces him on his shows constantly. Hannity is a huge fan of lies and propaganda and therefore salivates all over the place in admiration of Rove, respecting the power this man who should be in PRISON yeilds!

Karl Rove is a great American. Once known as the architect of the Bush campaign, he helped Bush win twice as president. If either Gore or Kerry had won the country would have been much worse off. Now he is helping many republicans and if they are successful much of the devastation seen recently will ameliorate.

You have to be an IGNORANT FOOL to believe that corporations, CEOs and the wealthy elite are not behind the demise of this nation and the working class! Greed is what is mandated and what dominates capital hill! Their mantra is keep the masses confused and paranoid and continue with the grand theft of the nation because as you ponder anxiety they will cash in! Ask Beck, $arah and the other benefactors who have made millions talking about "Patriotism" "Conservatism" "Getting our Country back"! What a crock! Those Tea Bagger candidates are No better, their rhetoric is rather delusional and full of religious nonsense! We have a major problem here! We have become the laughing stock of the civilized world!
