who's more evil: Karl Rove or Lee Atwater

Poll question: who's more evil: Karl Rove or Lee Atwater

I vote for Rove, since at least the stuff Atwater brought out against Dukakis was technically true, even if it a blatant distortion. Rove just plain makes shit up, against Democratic candidates in Texas, against McCain and against Kerry.

1. Voted for Rove

but agree that Atwater was a very good teacher.

2. darth vader or darth sidious?

You're trying to grade shades of black here.

They're both evil, lying, unethical, immoral bastards, and way off any scale for evaluating real human beings.

3. No contest. Atwater's harmlessly dead.

[Mend]

4. I voted for rove

Atwater acted like a frat boy laughingly playing a game. He was amoral, only interested in "winning". He did have a death-bed epiphany, which if I were in charge of after-life, would not count. Rove seems the personification of evil....a Carrie getting even, no joy in the game, just sadism.

5. Rove started the Iraq "war" to get Bush** another term. That's evil.

6. At least Atwater could play the guitar and didn't look like the

Pillsbury dough boy's evil twin. Didn't Atwater also have a death bed confession and repent or something? No chance of that happening with Dr. Evil.

7. Atwater at least seems to have had a concience

buried somewhere, and apparently felt remorse on his deathbed. I can't imagine that will ever be true of Karl Rove.

8. oh and I think Atwater got laid once in awhile.

9. "Pray" for KKKarl Rove

What if we all send negative energy his way and wish for him to meet a much worse fate than Lee Atwater...LIVER instead of brain(which is treatable)
Ironic isn't it..all those fundies are being manipuated by Satan himself? heh heh :evilgrin:

10. I thought Rove was Atwater, risen from the dead. n/t

[GOPNotForMe]

11. I'm still waiting for Rove's brain tumor.

[dryan]

13. Both men are cut....

from the same cloth. Lee Atwater knew that what he did was wrong--why else would he have written letters to Mike and Kitty Dukakis asking for their forgiveness when he was on his deathbed? FYI, Bush 41 hired them both when he was Chair of the RNC.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

12. Rove...

because he's alive and able to do damage.

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. Rove is the Puppet Master

Dance for me bushy.. DANCE!

[VOX]

15. Since Atwater's dead, that gives Rove the edge...

But head-to-head and pound-for-pound, I'd rate Atwater more down-and-dirty, but Rove is more insidious and ingenious.

Even with Atwater above ground, points go to to Rove as the more dangerous.

[greenohio]

16. Rove is Satan incarnate.
