Rove issues call for GOP boldness at local fundraiser

By David Postman

Seattle Times chief political reporter

SEATAC —.............

But what may have been most striking about the 30-minute speech by the man whose career has been defined by the arc of George W. Bush's political fortunes is that the president merited little mention.

When Rove appeared before King County Republicans three years ago, his speech was peppered with intimate behind-the-scenes moments to build a character sketch of the president.

This time, at the Hilton Seattle Airport and Conference Center, he spoke about government spending and the war. Rove repeatedly underlined the important role Republicans can still play in Washington, even though the Democrats control Congress.

"What it requires is boldness in advocating in what we believe," Rove said. "If we're bold, one of two things is going to happen: Either we're going to convince enough Democrats to join with us and we're going to have progress for America and pass good legislation, or we're going to have one heck of an argument.

1. Rove's Boldness=Supoenas, Grand Juries and Convictions

Endless War, Conspiracies, and with any luck, Impeachment, RICO and War Crimes trials!

2. Let's be bold with a Democrat in charge. Rove's GOP is leading us off a cliff.

3. Bold=brazen, in rovespeak.

Nobody's buying it anymore, rovie.

4. How many Republicans are going to want to.....

hitch themselves to Rove's wagon in the coming 1 1/2 years? Rove will soon (if he doesn't already) represent everything that is wrong with the Republican party. Are Republicans, still reeling from Congressional losses in 2006, willing to "stay the course" with Rove and Co. or will they come to the stark realization that these guys are politically radioactive now?

Truthfully, I hope they all "stay the course" and ride Rove and Co. all the way into the rocks. People are fed up with "business as usual" and if the loyal Bushistas continue on their present course I think that bodes amazingly well for Democrats. :)

5. "Let us boldly steal from and lie to the American people." - Karl 'Chickenhawk' Rove

"We must keep the republicon traditions alive. So grab all the money you can from the taxpayer till, and then lie, lie, lie in the typical republicon manner. No one can touch us. Bwaaa ha ha ha ha."

- Karl "I too am a Chickenhawk republicon" Rove

9. The "haves and the have-mores" know that their time in complete control of the

US government is almost over. They will steal as much and as fast as they can while their puppet squats in the White House.

6. What we're doing to have ole Rove buddy...

is one heck of a trial and sentencing for you.

7. or, if you follow my (Rove) definition of bold, we can all march to jail, together.

8. Karl, you had SIX YEARS to accomplish "progress for America" and pass "good legislation"

without any Democratic cooperation necessary.

IF YOU DIDN'T DO IT THEN, WHY THE HELL SHOULD ANYONE BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO IT NOW????
