Rove tells Ohio crowd GOP will prevail
New Philly event precedes Bush visit today

By THOMAS J. SHEERAN

NEW PHILADELPHIA — White House political strategist Karl Rove returned to the Ohio grass roots that helped re-elect President Bush in 2004 and encouraged the GOP faithful Wednesday night to be bold in the face of political challenges.

Rove told about 400 people at a Tuscarawas County Lincoln Day dinner that the 100-day mark of the Democratic-controlled Congress “seems like 100 years, doesn’t it?”

The Ohio Democratic Party belittled Rove’s appearance in this community 20 miles south of Canton and said he was the Lincoln Day dinner keynote speaker despite “his role in nearly every scandal surrounding the Bush White House.”

“Karl Rove is the chief cover-up artist for a president who lied to the American people and misled us into war, and the chief architect of the president’s consistent pattern of putting partisanship ahead of the people,” state Democratic chairman Chris Redfern said.

Redfern challenged Rove to sign an affidavit that he hadn’t hidden information about the U.S. attorney dismissals or directed political involvement in the firings.

Democrats question whether the administration singled out some of those fired to interfere with corruption cases in ways that might help Republicans. No evidence has surfaced to support allegations of wrongdoing, but shifting explanations by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales led to calls for his resignation.

2. Hell yes.....

with all the crooked and corrupt actions they perform, stuff a normal person would never ever think of, they probably will try to steal another presidential election.

7. Probably?

How do you think they got power to start with?

3. he told them they'd hold on to the congress last election as well

he just doesn't seem to have the same authority behind his words anymore... he has been marginalized and he doesn't realize it.

4. Goebbles used to say the same thing...right before Berlin fell.

5. Why do US tax payers pay this idiots salary?

Why are we burdened with the up keep of a political consultant? When have other presidents placed overpriced political consultants like KKKarl on the US payroll? It's about time the republic party paid his salary because he does nothing for this country except keep thieves and republics in power.

6. Its interesting that the paper reported the Democratic response.

Before Nov. 06 the paper may not have been so bold.

Rove beware. There is a new Ohio SoS in town.

8. Translation: They're stealing the next election.

[gaspee]

9. He's been getting away with it for so long

that he thinks he's untouchable. A few short months ago, I too, depressingly, thought he was untouchable. Not so much any more.
