What happened to the purported "October Surprise" by Karl Rove?
964698
Normally when turmoil and disruption within an administration grows to a point, then every tactic is questioned, every move is revised and political bickering and infighting causes many plans to be changed and canceled, for want of something better to do.\n\nI think what Mr Karl Rove had in mind was discrediting and smear campaigns against the Democrats and it was attempted and failed. Mr. Rove is becoming a detriment to the already shell shocked and falling apart administration that I think you will have to admit, their days are numbered. \n\nCan anyone say Tuesday, November 7th, 2006? Can't say I feel sorry for George Bush, he has made his bed, and now the entire Republican party is going to have to sleep in it. \n\nDarryl S.

Nothing surprises me about this administration ... nothing .... so, they're gonna sell us out completely now, are they?  Were the American people consulted?  Was Congress?  Why do we still think we live in a democracy?  We obviously aren't ...

It's apparently taking a break until the 2008 presidential election... :-)\n\nI really wish I knew.  I'd like to blame the partisan climate in the US for it, but that would be too easy.  So much fear and uncertainty breeds the kind of behavior your question suggests.  Maybe THAT I can blame on those that make policy.

Very badly I'm sad to say.  We should have known this,  and no doubt Bush was told of this possibility by his military.  I don't believe it is republican pride so much as from everyone's being deliberately lied to about why we should  have been there in the first place.  We should have gone to Afghanistan to get Osama, whatever happened to him?  He's probably  sitting in a Paris cafe drinking coffee and reading about Iraq in the paper.  Iraq was a deception perpetrated on the public,taking advantage of the patriotism of the American people.  The shame is that it looks like Iraq will never improve, only serving those who are pro fitting from it, while our troops get wounded and die, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis perish.

No, not yet. But the media hounded them to be released to the public and that's where the item about making a bomb came from. It was in the news right before the election.

Every aristocrat is brainwashed from childhood that he is Born to Rule.  After Bush got burned out and bored from his alcoholism and drug addiction, he had to have some fantasy life to maintain his withdrawal.  So he told Daddy's friends to go out and find the sneakiest liar on the market.  So Rove is a flunky, not a Svengali.

I wouldn't be surprised at all.  Check to see which politicians have received contributions from WALMART... watch for those defeated politicians who move off of Capitol Hill onto K-Street.\n\nWhat I'm SADDENED by is the Washington has seduced the Republicans... \n\nThen there was the President who accepted money from China to overlook things like patent law, espionage, human rights, and treason.

No...I heard of a coup attempt to overthrow Bush though. The Democrats are at it now.

Thankyou, I was not fully aware of this tactic, I  did however; observe that theme in his campaign.  as watcher,seer of the transformation to the one world organization. That IDIOT would have gotten into the office at any cost or collaboration,manipulation and denial of voters to vote(Ohio) or other extreme tactics to secure his hand in the fate and downfall of the United States. Is he not doing a marvelous job at that? People all across the Nation are waking up an illusion of manipulation inspired by the overseers who make sure and there agenda comes to fruition. Do not receive the RF ID,injections to a flu that is for the birds. And watch how what I say is coming to a town near you. Join the Revolution!

Talking about Kerry is a ridiculous desperate ploy by Rove and company to motivate their base support into a voting frenzy. That and stem cell research another potential October disaster for the Democrats.\n\nthis mid term election for the Republicans is voter turnout. Making sure theirs get out and the Democrat's voters stay out cause they're so disgusted by this whole ugly Republican effort to retain power.

Don't think so.\n\nEven in his debates with John Kerry, didn't anyone else notice the earpiece and big fat pack under his jacket?  My guess is that Karl Rove, the "de facto President," was feeding his words to him.  Call his intelligence, or lack thereof, "artificial intelligence," as he is programmed as to what to say by others.

It's utterly mind boggling that there was no plan in place for the post invasion of Iraq, but it blatantly obvious that's indeed what occurred. It's almost as if the Bush administration did this intentionally. And now were seeing the results of this administrations ineptness. How sad.

I would suggest that the prosecutor could not find sufficient evidence to get an indictment.  I would further suggest that Karl Rove may be innocent and that would cetainly make finding evidence difficult.  Finally, I would suggest that the liberal-leaning media had more to gain if Karl Rove were indicted so they will not like today's announcement.

Apparently not. They are so gullible. The people in the White House are well-educated from the finest schools. They are not religious. Karl Rove is just playing Christians for fools. The Republican party is controlled by the very rich, who are using the Christians like pawns to get votes. Reagan said 26 years ago that he would get rid of abortion. He nominated the controlling Supreme Court justices. It hasn't happened, has it?
