Bush: Fire Karl Rove. Democrats: Build A New Majority
From the Huffington Post:

George Bush Should Fire Karl Rove, And Democrats Can Build A New Majority For A Generation

By Brent Budowsky

Prediction: Karl Rove will soon leave the White House.

Fact: the American people overwhelmingly rejected the core politics that Karl Rove sold to the Republican Party, which inevitably led to the disaster of Iraq and the corruption that has run rampant in one party Republican Washington.

What Rove stands for, is a strategy that aimed at mobilizing the extreme narrow base of right wing Republicanism, demonizing everyone else in America, disrespecting anyone with alternate views, and ultimately alienating the heartland of America…

My hope is, that the new Democratic Congress will be principled and aggressive on those issues such as torture, which must be ended, and constitutional rights on matters such as eavesdropping, which must be restored. On these matters, and others, Democrats have the high moral ground and the winning political ground…

The Democrats have one of those golden moments of a generation, to build a new realignment and majority of the American people, based on the idea that America must always be America, and that those who trust and respect the American people will ultimately prevail over those who demonize and divide us.

Brent Budowsky served as Legislative Assistant to U.S. Senator Lloyd Bentsen, responsible for commerce and intelligence matters, including one of the core drafters of the CIA Identities Law. Served as Legislative Director to Congressman Bill Alexander, then Chief Deputy Whip, House of Representatives. Currently a member of the International Advisory Council of the Intelligence Summit. Left goverment in 1990 for marketing and public affairs business including major corporate entertainment and talent management. He can be reached at brentbbi@webtv.net.

1. Karl Rove fired? He controls it all. Who would run the White House?

Who could fire him? Cheney?

2. I don't think Rove is running ...
... much of anything any more. And neither is Cheney. That means no one is in charge. It's a great opportunity for Democrats to take charge completely.
