Reply #16: To me, the point is less Rove

and how much pressure ends up on the asshole in the wh now.

If people have been paying attention--and yes, liberals HAVE been paying attention--they will see scapegoat after scapegoat going down on an endless stretch to save the ass of the guy at the top. Everything that implicates Georgie boy ends up on someone else's shoulder, and they have, over the course of the past almost 5 years, found enough members of the regime to utilize in those neverending scandals, or those people have left the administration when they realized they were going to likely be the next victim as a scapegoat. Think about it: Karen Hughes left, Ari Fleischer left, Colin Powell left, even Asscroft left. The people who have acted as the scapegoats, however, grew increasingly more important to the administration, and Rove is at the top of the ladder. However, now with so much at stake, there can only be one resolution: someone big has to take the fall, and you know damned well that Cheney ain't gonna take the blame. He's put himself above the law all along, and can't afford to be put on the block, so Rove is next in line. Too bad it wasn't Paul Wolfowitz or Richard Perle, or even Feith, or Condi who has to fall--they will be next, though. As long as the PNAC folks control our government, the shit that's going on will not stop. And think about it: Rove was let go from Poppy's administration, and certainly wasn't lazing around in the Clinton years--if anything, being out of the administration was probably the best thing to happen to him--he could certainly do more under the radar and out of the spotlight, so leaving this administration is going to have him carrying out more plots, more spin and certainly more treason.

More than anything else, Democrats and liberals need to maintain this backbone they've suddenly grown and keep up endlessly rattling this administration until all the traitors and all the neocons and all those who are using power for their own gain are gone. It's not going to happen anytime soon, though; many of us will never see the end of it, but I assure you--the RR can not keep things underwrap indefinitely--there are SOME people out there with a conscience and they will finally break their silence once they have protection from prosecution. And that can only be accomplished with the downfall of the guys at the top.
