     Home | Office Holder | Karl Rove





Karl Christian Rove (born December 25, 1950) was Senior Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff to former President George W. Bush until Rove's resignation on August 31, 2007. He has headed the Office of Political Affairs, the Office of Public Liaison, and the White House Office of Strategic Initiatives. Since leaving the White House, Rove has worked as a political analyst and contributor for Fox News,

Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal.

Prior to his White House appointments, Rove was a Republican political consultant and strategist. He is credited with the successful 1994 and 1998 Texas gubernatorial victories of George W. Bush, as well as Bush's 2000 and 2004 successful presidential campaigns. In his 2004 victory speech Bush referred to Rove as "the Architect". Rove has also been credited for the successful campaigns of John Ashcroft (1994 U.S. Senate election), Bill Clements (1986 Texas gubernatorial election), Senator John Cornyn (2002 U.S. Senate election), Governor Rick Perry (1990 Texas Agriculture Commission election), and Phil Gramm (1982 U.S. House and 1984 U.S. Senate elections).

Though no allegations have been proven or sustained, Rove's name has come up in political scandals, including the Valerie Plame affair, the Bush White House e-mail controversy and the related dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy.

We have a unique opportunity right now to send Karl Rove to jail, but only if we take immediate action. All we have to do is pressure the 40 members of the House Judiciary Committee, make them hold Rove in contempt and send him to jail. We've never had such a direct opportunity to hold Rove accountable. No, this is not enough punishment for his years and years of crimes, but it's a huge start, and will send a very clear message to the entire Bush administration. The specific issue regarding Rove's failure to testify before Congress is a little complicated, so we put together this video that explains exactly why Rove should be held in contempt and sent to jail. Check out Send Karl Rove to Jail, and sign our petition to ensure that the HJC holds Rove in contempt. After you watch the video, sign the petition: sendkarlrovetojail.com

2.28 min. | 4.70 user rating		 www.nma.tv A Tea Party insurgency has left rancor and discord within the GOP's big tent. Led by Sarah Palin, Tea Party candidates have scored several primary upsets against establishment candidates. The latest victor is Christine O'Donnell. The anti-masturbation candidate has won the Republican senate nomination in Delaware, causing strategist Karl Rove to self-immolate on national television. The Democrats, believing the Tea Party cannot win in a general election, are predictably happy with Tea Party's primary success. But are the Democrat's underestimating the strength of this populist movement? http If you liked this, check out our earlier Sarah Palin clip here: www.youtube.com ç¾åä¿å®æ´¾è¶é»¨æè¿æäºå±å黨çå諧ãç±èæ裴æ帶é ï¼è¨±å¤è¶é»¨çåé¸äººå·²å¨æ¬æåé¸æåå±å黨çè³æ·±äººç©ãå¶ä¸­ä¸ä½å°±æ¯å¾·æç¦å·çåé¸äººå¥§åç´ãæ人說奧åç´å°±å裴æï¼åä¿å®åå·æä¸è¡ç´æ¨¸çé­åãå¨è§éå±å黨åè­°å¡åé¸ä¹åï¼å¥§åç´è±å¤§é¨åçç²¾ç¥æ¨å»£è²æ½æè²ã她é次æåè³æ·±è­°å¡å¡çç¾ï¼å¦æ°ç¥é¡§åç¾å¤«ç¸ç¶é©è¨ï¼ç¾å¤«å·²å¤æ¬¡æ»æ奧åç´çåæ§ï¼é說稱她æ¯åççç人ãæ°ä¸»é»¨å¨ä¸æçç§ï¼ä»å覺å¾è¶é»¨ç人é½å¤ªççäºï¼ä½æ¯ï¼è¶é»¨ææ²æå¯è½ä¹è®æ°ä¸»é»¨å¤§åä¸é©?

4.87 min. | 4.37 user rating		 Fox News made some effort to be respectful in its coverage of the death and funeral of iconic Democratic Senator Edward M Kennedy, but inviting Republican Karl Rove, the ultra-partisan advisor from George W Bush's Administration, to participate in the coverage was a mistake Fox News should have avoided as I show in this video. The two short clips from Fox News in this video come from the Fox News program "Fox and Friends Saturday" which aired August 29, 2009, and which I could not find available online. The photo of Sen. Ted Kennedy in this video as well as the text of Sen Kennedy's September 27, 2002, speech at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies titled "Eliminating the Threat: The Right Course of Action for Disarming Iraq, Combating Terrorism, Protecting the Homeland and Stabilizing the Middle East" is available at www.sais-jhu.edu And, finally, as always, you can find DOZENS and DOZENS more examples of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist on YouTube at www.youtube.com
