Any Rove Opinions?

[local 12 proud]

Kinda stupid to say that you look at the big picture when Gar's post pointed out that you only looked at one tiny piece of the picture when pointing out Clinton's pardons. You didn't even take a second to notice that your beloved "W" is on track to pardon even more. By definition, that means you didn't look at the big picture.

No I did'nt overlook "W's" pardons, I merely pointed out he is less generous when it comes to clemency. someone else on this board brought up the 'parden pen' and I merely pointed out the fact that your beloved "slick willy" had his fair share.

BTW... The Big Picture

With 69 pardons over five years, Bush is on pace to be the stingiest two-term president in American history when it comes to granting clemency. Among Bush's more recent predecessors, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, and Kennedy had several hundred pardons each, while Eisenhower was among the most charitable, with 1,157 pardons over his two terms. H.W. Bush was less generous, but his 77 pardons during his one term -- including, not incidentally, Christmas Eve pardons for Reagan-era officials who could have implicated him in the Iran-contra scandal -- at least gives him higher a per-year average than his son.

Indeed, over the last 200 years, only three presidents have had fewer pardons than George W. Bush -- Zachary Taylor, James Garfield, and William H Harrison. Taylor died after one year in office; Garfield was shot four months into his term and was bedridden until he died two months later; and Harrison died of pneumonia within a month of taking office. Among healthy presidents, Bush is in a league of his own.

Nice to see that you're still on top of those third-grade name-calling skills.

Nice to see your still sticking your foot in your mouth.

What is the source of the above quote?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_peopl..._George_W._Bush

The following is a partial list of people pardoned by George W. Bush. As of Now, President George W. Bush had issued 113 presidential pardons to people who have served their entire sentence, and has commuted in addition the sentences of three people.

By the way, the above is from your link. If you do the math, it comes out to just under 19 a year and if you look at Clinton with 146 that comes out to just over 18 a year so right now, W is actually ahead.

Clinton is ahead in the commutation category but W still has 2 years to go.

So, do any of the politically minded frequenters of the board have an opinion on the Rove/Plame scandle they want to share?

Yes...as a matter of fact I do....


LOL

Bates dismissed the case against all defendants: Cheney, White House political adviser Karl Rove, former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.

W had the fix in.....

 

[delldude]

Wow...looks like after all the Lib Democrat hatred has run its life...Rove figures 'F-Y'.... Time to move on...now the Dems

are looking for a new scapegoat....

Heard tell Hillary may want Rove.....

Rumor from the Hill.....

 

[Garfield1966]

Rove got out because there was nothing else for him to do. No one is running for office, Cheney and Co. are already sinking like the Titanic. Rove is dead weight for W so he got out while the getting was good. The tears were a nice gesture. I wonder if anyone bought it? I wonder if any of the current republicans are dumb enough to hire that creep?

As far as him being out of the lime light. Congress will still be going after him. He had his hands in the cookie jag and if the dems have a sigle hair on their ass they will pin him and the rest of them to the wall.

Rove stayed on just to stick it up the Lib lefts butt....

 

[Garfield1966]

Rove stayed because he was making money and and his house of cards was still standing. The house has been blown away and he is now a liability just as Rumsfeld, Powel, were and Gozo is. Not quite sure if he will be able to stick it out to the end of the term. Everyone know that Cheneny is a lame duck now and people are figuring to get out while the getting is good. Why wait for the rush. I still really like the tears at Roves good bye. That was the funniest acting I had seen in a while out of that office. I imagine that was about and impromptu exit as Rumsfeld. was.

Two funny things. #1 the polls never mattered to you before...why so much now? Local 12 is going to get envious b/c you are giving more love to the polls than to him.

and more interestingly #2 Bush is responsible for all of the low ratings. His low approval is due to starting wars in the incorrect locations (i.e. Iraq rather than the real countries that were involved in 9/11 like Saudi Arabia, Syria, Pakistan, etc). Congress's low rating is due to his bitter partisan approach to ensuring that no fruitful legislation will be passed while he is in office. He knows that any real Iraq policy or any real legislation that will help the people will make him look even worse b/c he got none of it done under his own regime so why allow Congress to fix the things that he wouldn't? He has battered any real piece of legislation that has come his way due to his ignorant partisanship. If he spent as much time trying to fix domestic and foreign issues as he did trying to drive a wedge between the very citizens that he "represents" we would be far better off. I know it's hard for you but try reading between the lines on where numbers come from. Don't just rely on Fox to tell you what the numbers mean. Critical thinking, man. It's an amazing tool that all of us have...just you choose not to use it.

Cat got yer tongue, Delly Bar?

Oh that's right...you run and hide when you can't retort...except when you throw out your idiotic "I know you are but what am I" replies. I suppose silence keeps these debates on a much more intellectual level than when you actually do try to reply. I'll leave you be now so you can go back to poll-watching.
