ROVE MUST GO (By Robert Novak???)

ROVE MUST GO
Robert Novak
Jan 21, 2006

A national survey by pollster Mark Penn shows two-to-one sentiment that not only Rep. Tom DeLay but also top presidential adviser Karl Rove should resign from office.

Interviews of 1,003 voters last Nov. 5-16, conducted for the Democratic Leadership Council, showed 59 percent felt Rove should quit while 25 percent said he should not. Comparable figures for DeLay were 63 percent and 24 percent. While DeLay faces trial in Texas after being indicted in a campaign finance controversy, Rove has been investigated but not indicted in the CIA leak case.

Penn's poll showed deteriorating Republican support for both Rove and DeLay. GOP votes favored DeLay's resignation, 45 percent to 40 percent, while 35 percent said Rove should go and 43 percent that he should stay.

1. You know Rove is toast

When even the Douchebag of Liberty turns on him :wow:

[thefloyd]

2. Rove finished up the 2006 campaign pamphlet

now comes "Rove is an honorable man for stepping down", "Principle over Party",
you name it.

[proud patriot]

3. People ask where I got my "Fire Rove" sticker

AAR ...

[Swamp Rat]

5. Here's a pic fo' ya:

:D

25. Who's my daddy?

:rofl::rofl: LOVE IT!

[Double T]

4. Not only do the NEOCONS eat their young, but they will.......

abandon their leaders when the going gets ROUGH. Well, I think the ROUGH is going to get a lot ROUGHER before 'the system' has flushed out ALL the NEOCON political and corporate corruption.

[UTUSN]

6. Alrighty, then: When KKKarl goes can he take NOVAKula with him? n/t

[thefloyd]

9. Time will

take Novak....New York Minute would take Novak

[liberal N proud]

7. NOVAK said this?

It is getting cold here in hell isn't it?

[FreedomAngel82]

8. Who does he work for?

[beltanefauve]

13. I think he went

from CNN to FOX, of all places. Talk about cold day in hell!

[stepnw1f]

10. The Rats are Abandoning Sinking Ship

[Diane R]

11. This makes sense

If he 'resigns' he would still be able to advise the white house and the republicans, wouldn't he? So, better for them to resign now than to have to resign after he is indicted. This saves face and lessens damage. I can't see that it makes any difference whether he is in the white house, or out. He is still going to orchestrate all their dirty tricks.

[jimshoes]

15. Same here

I think I'd rather see an indictment along with a conviction and jail time. The only thing is that could take a long time. On the other hand, if chubby has to do jail time, the chimp will no longer be in position to grant a pardon if after 2008.

[beltanefauve]

21. Seeing the way

the Repugs operate, "stepping down" could even be a way of making him a martyr, much like they have done with DeLay.

[H2O Man]

12. I saw the article

in a New York daily today. Ha!

[f-bush]

14. If Noak really said that...........

.........then Rove probably is toast. Couldn't happen a moment too soon!

[Catrina]

19. Novak probably knows what's in store for Rove, since he probably ratted

him out to save his own skin. Remember Novak was the only one who published the article, yet he seemed to get off scott free, no info on whether he testified before the grand jury. No demand from Special Prosecutor that he turn over his sources.

Remember also how he came to walk off the set of Crossfire! It was after a remark by James Carville (whose wife worked in the OSP and may be privy to some interesting stuff re Feith, et al) implying that he may have ratted people out, that he got angry. I think that's what Carville was saying.

He must have given up his sources pretty early as he's never been threatened the way the others have.

Love to see them all turning on each other. This is the second story about their attacking each other today.

The other, when Repub. Bill Bennet (not THE BB I'm told) in Ohio said that Ney should resign if indicted, Ney said 'Bennett should look in the mirror, glass houses break easily' or words to that effect.

This is going to be so much fun. What happened to the 'disciplined, united front the Republicans always maintained'?

[f-bush]

26. I would venture to guess that you're right on the mark

I can just imagine how it played out also. I love it when the gop'ers eat each other for breakfast!

[EFerrari]

30. I think if the latest bin Laden fakery doesn't significantly help

Monkey Boy, Rove is gone.

[AtomicKitten]

16. I agree with Novak, and he can still eff-off. n/t

[otohara]

17. Why Would 25% of DLC'ers Say "He Should NOT Quit"

why do they still exist?

[HereSince1628]

20. Research was conducted FOR the DLC not on the DLC.

They exist because they can, not because they should.

[thefloyd]

22. Carville supplied Novak

with "DLC" material

[genieroze]

18. I think Novak should go with him..... to hell.

[lovuian]

29. I second that!!!

he's a traitor to this country...

[Carni]

23. He must have knocked some sense into himself when he broke his hip

Being that his brain is so close to where his hip is and all..

[Catshrink]

24. Another example of Repugs eating their young.

[wtmusic]

27. Rove apparently bounced Novak's check nt

[applegrove]

28. Yeah! And take your phony exit polls (every election you run) with you!
