If we evict the shrub, Rove will:

[cheshire]

1. And become road kill.

2. i think rove is overrated

as most people rated that highly often seem to be, in hindsight. his most salient quality appears to be that he's completely unethical. while that's sure to be a great tactical asset in a political campaign, it doesn't come without its own risks. i'd say "ask nixon" but he died in disgrace a while back.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

3. I'd wonder if one term rejections of the shrub family would cause any

soul searching in the party, and any consideration of rejecting the Atwater and Rove style of smear politics, or is it just too much part and parcel of what the soul of the Republican Party IS these days. I'm suspecting the latter is true and it will require some great cataclysm, or a rupture between "Rockefeller" repubs and the Bible thumpers, to finally cause a reevaluation of how they do business...

9. I know a Goldwater Republican

He's a Democrat now.

I wonder if some of these guys will just become Democrats, and leave their party to the crazies.

I'd like to think they will try and take their party back. I'd rather an honest to God Conservative than what we have now.

14. Goldwater voted for Clinton

8. It's not so much that Rove is overated..

it's just that he's a one trick pony and most important of all he picked an incompetent fuck up to hitch his wagon to. Thinking shrub was "presidential" was the biggest mistake of Rove's life. :dunce:

[0rganism]

4. These guys NEVER give up and go away

Gotta give them credit, it's always "try, try, try again" until the nation is hopelessly corrupted.

Look at the freaks on the powermonger speed dial right now: Poindexter, Negroponte, Bosch, fuckin' Kissinger, Gingrich, I could go on all day. Hell, I bet Ollie North would join in the clusterfuck if he wasn't already netting six figures for badmouthing Democrats daily on his syndicated radio show.

[Lexingtonian]

5. I'm all for a new Republican tradition

You know, they being the party of tradition (treason-sedition) and all.

Harakiri would be such an excellent tradition to embrace. Fully and to the hilt, so to speak.

[RummyTheDummy]

6. I wouldn't mind having bizzaro Rove as a Dem strategist

For those that don't get the reference, I mean I would like to have a Karl Rove that is on our side working for good instead of evil but just as devious.

[PerfectSage]

7. If shrub loses, Rove Will...?

Paranoidly, I wonder if shrub/Rove will pull a coup. I don't think they've got the guts to pull it off. But, what if shrub's gut says to have Kerry assasinated? They must be desperate because of the Plame investigation and the tons of shit they've got to hide. What if lawyers were the proper weapon for the Dems to fight the 2000 election and not in 2004? ie guns not lawyers.

At the start of WW1 the French were trying to refight the Franco/Prussian war of 1870 and in WW2 the French were trying to refight WW1. I wonder if the same analogy holds in the 2004 election.

Maybe I'm just being :crazy:

[Robert Oak]

10. become CEO of Halliburton

[Dem2theMax]

11. Jump off the top of the Washington Monument?

well, it was a thought. :evilgrin:

Hmmm, maybe that lying in front of the wheels of Air Force Dumb was for practice?

[ogradda]

12. he'll find a job working for another sleaze

maybe one with a little more potential to work with. can you imagine his reaction to the debates:evilgrin:

[NDFan]

13. Rove is very overrated.

Just think about it.

If he's such a great political strategist, why did Bush lose the popular vote in 2000 (and, arguably, the election)?

Why is Bush in so much political trouble?

If he's such a great political adviser, why is Bush on the verge of becoming a one-term president?:nopity:

Trust me, he's all hype and no substance. He's just a fat, bloated, pasty pig. :nopity:

[Guaranteed]

15. Be known as a total loser and shunned by Republicans and Democrats

alike.
