Jag håller med NY-times. Rove är ett misslyckande. Hans strategi ’divide and conquer’ har delat USA och skapat ett republikanskt parti som riskera att permanent förlora alla maktpostioner i washington. Detta i kontrast mot hans uttalande mål att skapa en permanent republikansk majoritet.
Mr. Rove Gets Out of Town – New York Times
”Mr. Rove failed his own party, as well as the American people, when he
counseled President Bush to turn every serious policy debate — Social
Security, the war in Iraq, even terrorism — into one more political
dogfight. Today, despite Mr. Rove’s claims of invincibility, both
houses of Congress are back in Democratic hands, Mr. Bush’s approval
ratings are around 30 percent and many Republican presidential
candidates are running as fast as they can away from the Bush legacy.
Mr. Rove can now contemplate that legacy from his home in Texas. But he
should not get too settled in. Congress needs to use all its power to
bring Mr. Rove back to Washington to testify — in public and under oath
— about how he used his office to put politics above the interests of
the American people.”
