Can we agree that Bush shouldn't fire Rove?

[CatWoman]

I think it makes him look even more petty, vindictive, sneaky, incompetent, noncaring, criminal by hanging onto him.

[Fenris]

1. What difference would it make if he did fire him.

As long as Rove isn't in jail, he'll still be running the show.

[CatWoman]

3. good point!!

[movonne]

9. And maybe even from jail....with this administration anything is possible.

[Fenris]

12. Exactly.

They'd figure out something.

[eallen]

2. If he hired Poindexter, why should he fire Rove?

I've never understood why there wasn't more uproar when he hired Poindexter.

:hippie:

[marbuc]

7. because theaverage person does not know who he is

or what he did.

[cosmik debris]

4. Rove should fire Bush

and Cheney too.

[CatWoman]

5. ROFL

:rofl:

[goodboy]

6. He'll never fire him anyway. That's not how the bushies operate.

[Independent_Liberal]

8. He shouldn't fire him right now...

He should wait til things get more interesting.

[Imagevision]

10. Only if Rove is to be prosecuted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cha]

11. I agree and I don't

think he will.

ben stein doesn't think so, either..

But, for vastly different reasons.

nixon actually had more grace in his pinky than you could ever find in the rovecheney regime.

[noamnety]

13. No, I can't agree

Keeping somebody who's sabotaging our intelligence operations in a position where they still have access to classified information does long term permanent damage to the country.

[johnaries]

14. Bush SHOULD fire Rove, which is why he won't!

And also why this will work to our advantage. Plamegate, the DSM's, and much, much more are all tied together. The more the people learn about them, the easier we'll be able to win big in '06. If we can win big in '06, then we can take BushCo down or at least make them powerless. Then, we can win big in '08!

So, Bush should fire Rove, but like you I'm glad he won't do it!

[napi21]

15. I don't think he should fire Reove! I think as long as Rove is in

the office just down the hall, he will be connected, in the public's eye, directly to Shrub! I want to see the dirt from Rove rub off on Shrub, and I want it to stick!

They need to go down together.

[Mika]

16. BushCrime could turn KKKarl into a national hero..

.. by sending him on a trip down the Baghdad airport road.

[tulsakatz]

17. rove

actually if this were an intelligent administration, they would give Rove his walking papers. However 'intelligent' is not a word anyone would use to describe Bush!!

If they want to keep him, I say let them. This thing is going to drag them all down and expose them for the criminals we all know they are!!

And besides, even if Rove left, he would still be running things.....he just wouldn't be as visible. It's better that he stays so that we can (at least) keep an eye on him.

[Catchawave]

18. I dunno....

...damned if we do, damned if we don't want that? So, Rove and the Terrorists win, no matter :shrug:

Guess that means I don't agree?

[cliss]

19. I"m going to say -

unload the creep. We all think it would be great to have Rove stay & bring down the whole Bush House of Cards. But I don't want to wait that long.

[NAO]

20. I agree. It makes * look worse, and firring him might be the end

rather than an aggressive criminal prosecution.

Having a criminal traitor on staff will create dissonance in many loyal * supporters.

[are_we_united_yet]

21. Well...

I think your assessment is right on the mark. It might take heat off of the Admin if he fires Rove.

[Adelante]

22. Yep

The longer Rove stays in the WH, the worse it gets for Bush, and the better it gets for us.

[mikelewis]

23. Who cares, it's not really Rove we're after - repeat after me - DSM DSM

Going after Rove is like running a race to come in second. If we take down Bush, we also take down Rove. But what would be sweet is if Rove rolls on Bush. I won't say it couldn't happen but wouldn't it be fucking awesome if he did.
