And I work for the other side's campaign. Where the hell do you come up with
this stuff??

I read widely, and listen to quite a range of interviews. Loony huh?
What do you think Rove had done for a living for the last 20 years?
The South Florida campaign has Rove written all over it, although the
trickster in charge may be one of his operatives. Martin is clearly
not the top guy. The most recent edition of Rolling Stone has a group
of articles on Rove and his operatives in past and present elections.

been employed by Geo Bush, most of the time. I have no doubt dirty stuff
occurs all the time, frequently real nasty stuff from the Repubs, but seeing
Rove as some sort of dirty tricks mastermind is, as I said, loony.

Im not going to get all exercised on this. When you do the reading,
you might change your opinion. Just pick some sources you trust and
see what they have written on Rove's career.

Rove is considered to be one of the best ever practitioners of
political smear and sabotage. The Democrats have no one who even comes
close to Rove's dark immoral genius. So good that even Rove's proteges
are in high demand. In fact one of his masterpieces is thought to have
been the smear of John McCain in North Carolina. The Max Cleland
smear? The Valerie P. case? etc Remember?

Just remember to take back the "loony" comment down the pike.

Dave.

progress sometimes comes in small steps. :-))

No need to worry about it, your direct reputation as a nasty **** who
personally smears people here has not been harmed. ( Or are you saying
Rove told you to do it?).

That you have to be a loony to do that is more or less a given.

SOUTH Carolina... jeez, we're still trying to get over all the jesse
helms stuff and we don't need the additional baggage of South Carolina's
gullibilty to contend with.

Maybe a bit exaggerated, but he's not ignoring Congression subpeonas
because he has to attend a birthday party during that time.

I'm not saying he is anything beyond reprehensible, but just that he works
at a far higher level than garden variety 'dirty tricks'.
