    Well I’m sure the other five registrations are legal.


  2. Zookeeper says:

    Well hell, it’s a start. They got Al Capone for tax evasion, didn’t they? Hey Karl, don’t drop the soap!


  3. Ryan Neat says:

    I’m sure Diebold has helped Rove cast many more illegal votes than this one. The 14% spread between counted votes and exit polls indicates this is just the tip of the illegal rove voting iceberg. It’s as big and ugly as his backside…


  4. Ugh says:

    Rove also claimed an illegitimate homestead deduction on his DC income taxes.


  5. Ugh says:

    Make that property taxes.


  6. Brian says:

    I’m looking to troll red sites similar to this one. Can anyone help? Posting on Redstate is too time consuming.

    And oh, may 1000 ants find Karl’s cherry-flavored size 48 edible panties.

    Rove better lube up. He’ll be comforting other prisoners if he doesn’t watch himself.

    Given that turd blossom has screwed with the system so much, it’s a given that the dirt will eventually surface. There is a value to being honest and truthful in the world. These clowns seem to have gotten away with dishonesty and lying for their entire lives and I’m sure they can’t understand what the everyone is getting excited about. After all, that’s how they live. Perhaps the intelligent designer has a plan for them!


  10. Jesus Christ God of WAR says:

    Whatever happens in the future, We The People can’t let these clowns back into “positions of power”.

    The recent lesson is Spain. When Franco died none of his cronies ever say a court room, nor did they ever see jail time. Rather, they got to hold various positions of power. Remember Anzar? His government was riddled with Franco-ists.

    Don’t let this happen here!

    Impeach Bush. NOW! And throw Turd Blossom into jail.


  11. Jesus Christ God of WAR says:

    Ack! Flying fingers. Let me try this again:

    Whatever happens in the future, We The People can’t let these clowns back into “positions of power”.

    The recent lesson is Spain. When Franco died none of his cronies ever saw the inside of a court room, nor did they ever see jail time. Rather, they got to hold various positions of power. Remember Aznar? His government was riddled with Franco-ists.

    Don’t let that happen here! Keep the Repugs OUT of office and throw the nastiest of them into jail after being tried before a judge.

    Impeach Bush. NOW! And throw Turd Blossom into jail.


  12. Andrew says:

    Well that was unexpected. Sure, bring em down anyway we can… voter fraud? Ha, sure, what the hell. We’ll take whatever we can get, huh guys?

    Press on!


  13. Dastardly Dan says:

    What about pictures of Rove doing the “ceremonial drop the ballot in the box” thing that politicians like to do on voting day? If there are pictures like that, I’m sure he’s not doing it in Kerr County, Texas.


  14. Keith H. says:

    Can’t we jail most of ‘em without representation as ‘enemy combatants’?


  15. Pablo in Mexico says:

    I would enture to say that karl rove is probably registered to vote in about 4 different counties in at least two different states.

    He is too busy being the bush brain he dont have time to go to Texas and vote where he legally resides, so why not be registered to vote in VA and DC too.

    The he probably voted by mail in Texas and VA, and went to the polls in DC. The man is a crook, and will do anything.


  16. COME TO DC says:

    Sir,

    Can you post this important information about the rally on the front page and on the top of each thread. It has valuable information for those attending the rally!

    11 am Sat.: Gather on the Ellipse, March
    After the March: Peace and Justice Festival (DCP will have a table) on the Mall

    Operation Ceasefire Concert http://www.opceasefire.org/ (OK, so I have no idea who these groups are, but my kids do, and they are deeply ashamed of me): International recording stars Thievery Corporation are bringing together several notable musical acts such as Ted Leo and The Pharmacists, Le Tigre, Bouncing Souls, country music recording artist Steve Earle, socially conscious hip hop groups like The Coup, the rock ‘n soul group The Bellrays, along with progressive activists/performers Head-Roc, Jello Biafra, Wayne Kramer of the MC5 and many others for a free concert on the Washington Monument grounds.

    AND

    Mass Nonviolent Civil Disobedience at the White House. This action will provide a dramatic opportunity to more directly express your opposition to the war. Building on many traditions of nonviolent action and civil resistance, the protest at the White House will bring together people from different communities and constituencies. For some people this will be the first time they have risked arrest, for others this will be something they have done before. But for all who participate, the action at the White House will be a vehicle to communicate our deeply held convictions that this war must end.

    WHY should you plan to come to Washington?

    You know what? Forget the specifics of the ideologies of the various groups, forget that you have to work that day, forget that it might cost some money and you just donated to the relief efforts. Forget the reasons why you shouldn’t come, or shouldn’t come at this time, or that it might be crowded and uncomfortable.

    Come to Washington because it’s OUR government, and WE THE PEOPLE need to tell them our will. Come to Washington to GIVE NOTICE, BEAR WITNESS, AND TO SPEAK TRUTH.

    It’s always a good thing to be reminded of history which usually repeats itself.
    We must be watchful and ready to see our highest elcted and appointed officials sent in jail.
    Impeach Bush and Cheney – the former for incompetence, the latter for fraud. Jail Rove on whatever charges will stick to that turd. Fire McClellan and Rumsfeld.
    After all that is done. Do it again, just to make sure it sticks.


  18. Marie says:

  19. Brian says:

    Still looking for red sites. Anyone?


  20. Peace Lover says:

    #19 I had some red sores once, but they are gone now. Sorry. I didn’t know there were red sites



  21. Sharon Cox says:

    Is it at all possible Bush and Rove know we want to put them in prison and that is why Robert’s is being elevated.? Could that happen, go to the grand jury, I don’t know but just a thought. He did advise Bush and the courts when Bush got the court win in 2000. Yikes! not over yet.


  22. Marie says:

    There is no doubt in my mind – particularly considering the role the SC played in the 2000 election – that if Bush,Cheney,Rove,Rice,Rumsfeld do find themselves in legal trouble, they will have a majority of the SC to bail them out.


  23. cynical ex-hippie says:

    Do they know we want to put them in prison? I think they have a pretty good idea by now. Do they think we are capble of actually doing it? Not a chance.


  24. calvinthecat says:

    Don’t have Rove’s trial end until after Dumbya leaves office. I don’t think he can preemptively pardon. Invade, yes. Pardon, no.


  25. EasyRider says:

  26. Traven says:

    Listen, I hate Rove as much as the next guy, but a lot of us who work in the DC area for the Federal government (I’m in the Foreign Service)remain “residents” elsewhere, and vote elsewhere. Rove remains legally domiciled in Texas and is entitled to vote there, where he lives in the house or note, just as I am legally entitled to vote in Washington State, though I live in Virginia–because my Viriginia residency is only incident to my current posting here for a few years, not a permanent move.


  27. Traven says:

    That’s “whether he lives in the house or not”… I might add that my voting address in Washington State is a house we own but currently rent out.


  28. kevo says:

    Karl Rove is a scoundrel of the worst kind. I hope he never mistakenly believes he is a human being because he is so disconnected from the human experience. Everything to him is a game, or merely a script to damage other human beings. It’s as if Karl watched too much TV as a child and now sees a two-dimensional world where a three-dimensional reality exists. Karl Rove deserves to be in prison! -Kevo


  29. Jennty says:

    #25 Yes he can preemptively pardon. Geeze that’s what Ford did for Tricky Dick Nixon. Don’t people ever remember history?

    IMO this isn’t worth the time. He’s registered in Texas, so he sold his Austin house, he still owns property there, and there are special rules for Federal employees, the military gets the same treatment. You folks will have to keep looking for something else. IMO this one just doesn’t have legs. Our best bet is the RoveGate scandal. I’d bet money he lied in his first deposition. Perjury is a crime. So is obstruction of justice.


  30. WaltTheMan says:

    But doesn’t W prefer the execution of all malefactors? Isn’t it time for W to show his true values
