Why Isn't rove In Office?

[Dinger]

I'm just curious why he seems to be satisfied being behind the scenes?

[acmejack]

1. I bet he has something in his past.

That is the usual reason.

[madokie]

5. That would be an interesting avenue to pursue

Maybe with his vindictive nature an his vast knowledge of how it all works he knows he wouldn't last long. And his love of power suggest closets full of skeletons.

7. He has something in his present and future, too.

2. You think anyone would vote for him???

You need to be sort of "charming" or "likeable" to be elected, especially in this country. Rove is the nerdy-type who needs an alter ego like Bush (or what Bush was once taken for).

11. sounds like a pathological disease/mental alterration.

[Atman]

3. After losing the race for dogcatcher, he settled on something he could do

Although I'm sure he misses not being able to gas all those puppies.

4. Some people prefer to be "kingmaker" ...

aka "the power behind the throne". Lord knows they're pulling *'s strings.

6. The guy is a dirtbag. He dropped out of college to pursue a

career of political hacks and dirty tricks. He is the ultimate mudflinger.

He also has the personality of rattlesnake.

8. Rove's career has consisted entirely of slinging mud...

on behalf others running for office. Many people don't know he was one of the "rat-fuckers" During the Watergate era. He helped win Nixon a second term by lying about and smearing other potential candidates.

It's amazing to me Rove is not in jail. He has most certainly broken the law many times.

9. He was in at beginning of GOP "Dirty Tricks" campaign group.

It all started back during the Nixon/McGovern campaign, and has gotten dirtier and dirtier with every passing year.

[Jade Fox]

10. Right...

Those were the guys who called their dirty tricks "rat-fucking".

[marmar]

12. He realizes he's too butt-ugly to get elected....

:scared: :yoiks:

[H2O Man]

13. He is. n/t
