Of course in addition to all the undermining of the Constitution to protect themselves from being charged for the criminals they are, the rest of the disaster is the looting of the treasury. When these malevolent creatures of the dark are finished, the remains of our nation will be all but garbage. Garbage, like the barges full in years past, that no one will want.

I think that this is a bit far-fetched. Rove, now he is no longer in the White House has finally lost his security clearance.

you are thinking I am talking about information he found out after he left his position at the white house?

no, I am talking about information he found while he was still there, still with his clearance

I know. My book list is growing fast. I just heard Chris Hedges inteviewed on the radio. Very profound stuff in that, too.

Wish I had thought to ask how Rove got McCain to give up his leverage in 2004 when Kerry was even considering McCain as a running mate. No love lost between McCain and Bush and yet McCain remained a good boy. Is this election his reward?

or . . .

many of those who benefited the most from his tenure still hold power - within the govt., the media, and the Party. he has indeed thankfully damaged the brand and clearly a majority of Republics get that - but they aren’t the ones holding the megaphone

given that these aren’t the types given to self examination, it may explain why so many appear to cling to an 04 mindset
