Rovian Plot

We all knew that Karl Rove was a genius but I didn't realize how great of a genius he is, until today. What dawned on me was that Mr. Rove doesn't lose.

And he still doesn't.

What I now understand is that Karl Rove is a liberal.

The plan was to propel George Bush into the white house. Once there Mr. Bush can then run the republican party into the ground by talking like a conservative but not really acting like one. Any honest conservative knows that Mr. Bush isn't one. Just look at the Medicare bill and No Child Left Behind. To my knowledge, there hasn't been a spending bill that he hasn't loved. He is pro-amnesty for illegal aliens and he even tried to put a person of unknown leanings on the supreme court (Harriet Miers). He has done just about everything domestically to irritate his base and everything diplomatically to mobilize his "opponents".

Then come 2006, Congress is ripe for the picking.

The democrats hadn't held Congress since 1994. How else to destroy public support for conservatives than by destroying the Republican party from within.

Now that the game is won, Mr. Bush will now show his true colors and the left will have full run of the government for the first time since the beginning of the Clinton administration. Already, Mr. Bush is siding with the Democrats on minimum wage. Who knows what's next? But if this theory is correct, you won't be hearing talks of impeachment much longer...

Of course, none of this is correct but it was kinda fun to think all paranoid for a little while. The republican leadership has destroyed the party without any need for an over-arching goal. They just did it because they are power hungry and stupid.
