KARL ROVER

[spursfan101]

Any thoughts, should this guy step down?  I have my own BIASED deep personal thoughts on this guy, wondering what the right side of the board feels. Evidently, Bush is sticking by his man (can't really afford to lose him, after all.) :nonono:

If they really have proof that he did it, he should be fired and prosecuted. That's just one right-winger's HO.

He broke the law and possibly put a person's life in danger.

To be honest, I haven't really paid that much attention.  Heard some rants from some lefties, so I tuned it out.
That being said, if he broke a law then prosecute him, and punish him appropriately.  I got no problem with Karl Rove going to jail.  The only way to clean up government is to make sure a few of the slime balls go to jail.  Karl Rove doesn't speak for me, I have my own voice.
At the same time, I do know that Joe Wilson is also a grandstanding, publicity hound, who did our country a great disservice with his actions.  I wouldn't mind seeing him get knocked down to size too.

Personally, I say we get rid of the lot of them.

VOTE AGAINST *ANY* INCUMBENT.  Sooner we get all of these weasels out of Washington, and as many of them as we can into prison where they belong, the better off we'll be.

I'm still waiting for the truth about this situation to come out, and it has to go much deeper than Mr. Rove, who had no legal right to know the identity of a CIA agent.  

In fact outside of the CIA, only the President and the Secretaries of Defense and State have the legal right to know the identity of a CIA agent.

That information is essentially a national secret, an agents usefulness depends on their annonymity.  If the President or one of the others told Rove that Plame was Wilsons wife and  a CIA agent, and authorized him to go to the press with it, they commited a felony and were engaged in a conspiracy to commit a felony.

Someone inside the administration told Rove.  It is not inconceivable that this matter could bring down the Bush admin.

Bush engaged the services of an attorney when the investingation into this matter got under way.  I'm not sure why the disclosure process is taking so long.
