GOP Nervously Eyeing Rove and CIA Probe

http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5139995,00.html

WASHINGTON (AP) - Republicans are nervously watching the fight over Karl Rove's involvement in a news leak that exposed a CIA officer's identity, fearing that President Bush's chief adviser has become a major political problem.

1. A 'political' problem????

Fellas, still missing the point much? TREASON!!!!!!!!!!

2. That is exactly the problem! The Republicans still see it as a political

problem.

It is a National Security problem.
A WMD's in terrorists' hands problem.
A TREASON problem...

Putting politics ahead of national security is what made Rove commit Treason...

3. Bush got what he wanted a 2nd term

I have a feeling if they feel any heat they will abandon Rove like a.... republican.... abanding.... a close friend *shrug* *shrug* *smirk*

5. This is interesting .....

and brings up an interting point: Wilson has been respected by republicans for decades. Never by the extreme right, or the neocons. But by the moderate republicans, including the first President Bush.

It may be important to not allow this to be defined in terms of democrat versus republican. It's right versus wrong. Patriotic versus traitor. I notice that MSNBC just ran two commercials that show the scandal in this light. We need to take advantage of this.
