Today is a great day for American democracy. Karl Rove has announced that he is leaving the administration to return to Texas and "spend more time with his family" (wink wink).Whatever his reasons, this is the best thing to happen to our democracy in a long time.
Karl Rove was a cancer on American democracy. We are good to be rid of him.
He played dirty. That, in and of itself, is not enough to inspire my hatred for the man. After all, many politicians play dirty, including Democrats. It's part of the game.
I hate Karl Rove because he believed, and worked tirelessly toward, the concentration of power in one political party. He bragged about creating a Republican control of the government that would last for generations. That is evil. That is exactly what the founding fathers warned us against.
I am a Democrat. But I would never want to see the Democrats control all three branches of government. Absolute power brings about the corruption and the arrogance that finally brought Karl Rove down.
