I want to take a second and write about Karl Rove. He is a seen as a savior of the right and is hated by the left. Some may ask though, this is a site about California politics why are you talking about a White House staffer?
The answer to that is simple. The Republican party, from the top to the bottom is controlled and dictated by Rove. From the phone jamming in New Hampshire, to the tampering of machines and manufacturing of lines in Ohio to voter fraud here in California is all orchestrated by the man that holds significant power in the George W. Bush White House. In fact protégés of Karl Rove, Steve Schmidt, Matthew Dowd and gang have all been brought in to run the Ahnold campaign.
James Moore and Wayne Slater, two reporters for the Dallas Morning News, who know Rove quite well from his days in Texas wrote the best selling book Bush’s Brain. They have now come out with a new book titled “The Architect: Karl Rove and the Master Plan for Absolute Power.”
According to Publishers Weekly (hat tip: TG at Political Wire) this book is a "bold follow-up to journalists Moore and Slater's bestseller, Bush's Brain, takes a provocative look at how Karl Rove used George Bush's various campaigns and presidency to engineer nothing less than the assertion of a long-term Republican hegemony and the complete dismantling of the Democratic Party."
The argument that Rove is a danger to democracy is not an argument that will sell on a mass level, but it is a reminder of what we are working against and should prove as motivation to stay active, strong and willing to fight to November. |
