Rove

[elepet]

Who pays his salary? Is he a public employee? A civil servent? He wasn't elected to anything. How come he's running the country?

[liberal N proud]

1. He is the dictator who tells the fool bush what to say and do

4. Rove is by far the most evilest of them all

[helnwhls]

2. Don't give him too much credit

He has elevated thuggery to a political style before unheard. He is the dirty trick man, the fixer. He is one of satan's little lap dogs along with Bush. Dick Cheney = Satan.

But you bring up a good point. He was not elected but appointed. Would that we could fire him!

3. here is the man that the London paper should have made the comment

about "where is john wilkes booth, lee harvey oswald or john hinkley jr when you need them" about....it should have been Rove not bush

but it should have been done 10/15 years ago...too late now his work is done

[No Mandate Here.]

5. If he is NOT paid by the government,

He should NOT have an office in the White House.

It wouldn't surprise me if ALL policy went through him first.

he is the real president, and I have been calling him that for four years. It is amazing how many CNN and RW people don't even know his name or what he does.

6. my question remains

I know what he does...but what is his official "job description"? "advisor?" does Bush pay his salary or do we? He is not a member of the cabinet. He runs bush's political campaigns (24/7)
How do I find that out?

7. let's bring him down

Swift Boat style

to the best of my knowledge, he is special advisor to the pres and as such, I am sure we pay his salary. not sure though.

9. thanks

I followed the link to "management team" . not clear whether he was approved by the senate, or how he is paid.
relevence in my mind, is that if he is on taxpayers payroll, is giving direction for political campaigns part of his job description? everyone else on the "presidents team" is in charge of something or other. he's just senior advisor.
I realize that they are all operating "above the law" but i am curious about what the law is?
