Rove's New Mission: Survival

By E. J. Dionne Jr.
Friday, April 21, 2006; Page A23

Here's the real meaning of the White House shake-up and the redefinition of Karl Rove's role in the Bush presidency: The administration's one and only domestic priority in 2006 is hanging on to control of Congress.

That, in turn, means that all the spin about Rove's power being diminished is simply wrong. Yes, Rove is giving up some policy responsibilities to concentrate on politics, but guess what: The possibility of President Bush's winning enactment of any major new policy initiative this year is zero. Rove is simply moving to where all the action will, of necessity, be.

As one outside adviser to the administration said, the danger of a Democratic takeover of at least one house of Congress looms large and would carry huge penalties for Bush. The administration fears "investigations of everything" by congressional committees, this adviser said, and the "possibility of a forced withdrawal from Iraq" through legislative action.

"I don't think they see much chance of accomplishing anything this year," said this Republican strategist, who preferred not to be quoted by name. "The bulk of their agenda, let's say, has been put on hold."

1. And if Rove delivers

a pardon will be given on the spot. Cheating, rotten tricks, dirty campaigning.

I suggest dogging this "behind the scenes" eminence like a mobster with a vulnerable tax liability. Never let him determine the focus or move snakelike in the shadows. Never. Keep the spotlight on his every move without primping his ego. Make every handshake the touch of death in every part of the country.

And let loose the election fraud hounds because Rove is Tabulator Central besides lining up the usual bag of low tech local fraud.

Continually talking about the system rolling into place, the election fraud issues etc, remember the very select hands that are on the national switches. Amateurs will go down without him.

2. If they steal the HOuse, THEN we go with the pitchforks and torches

to drag a few people out of their illegitimate offices. Right? Right? Yeah, just like we did last time!

Rove knows the Diebold programming code and he has the keys to the counters in every state with a Republican election commissioner.


Fitz, please indict him and put him OUT OF THE GAME.
