Showing Original Post only (View all)I Don't Care if Karl Rove is Gay [View all]
I care about the outing of Valerie Plame, which put the lives of U.S. agents and their contacts abroad in jeopardy.
I care about the exit polls that did not match the vote tallies in 2004 Ohio.
I care about the death of J. H. Hatfield.
I care about Don Siegelman.
I care about the Nixon era CREEP-y dirty tricks that Rove played back ion the early 1970s.
I care that he used Katrina to ethnically re-engineer Louisiana and that he used the Katrina relief fund as a political slush fund.
I care that he participated in the Big Lies that lead us to war in Iraq.
I care that he fired hard working federal attorneys and replaced them with political hacks.
But, I don't care whom he sleeps with. The GOP slimes with sex. I am a Democrat.
