Running away to Canada didn't show strength of character. It was an act of weakness.

This is what strength of character would looks like.

I know about Baron Von Stauffenberg and the so-called July 20th plot, he definitely put it all on the line for what he believed and I'm sure was aware of the consequences if he failed.
We'll have to agree to disagree about the expat protesters, they had balls IMO.

Yeah, let's do that.

It's a sore spot for me.

I can't be objective about it.

Besides this is supposed to be a Rove bashing thread.

Karl Rove sucks Sixteen Inch Donkey Dicks.

IIRC Karl attended the high school (Olympus) south of mine (Highland) which is on the grounds of the prison where Joe Hill was held and excecuted as I previously mentioned.
Sixteen inches is pretty good, he should be doing donkey shows in Juarez.

Karl Rove is such an honest and ethical man who would never dream of spreading rumors and innuendo. Why, he's a Republican and such skullduggery just wouldn't be moral.

Here's an interesting viewpoint from the Daily Kos;

This is what made him brilliant gaming the American political system, it's also how/why I came to despise the Republican party.
