If the American people want the DEMs to do what they need done for them, then the American people need to elect more DEMs to both houses and sure enough real work will be done.

I pose this question only out of curiosity: is there nobody in the world, who reads cnn, who has one nice thing to say about this man, Karl Rove? Not that I do but there are folks out there who are somehow still convinced Bush is great, and who can help them but with some medication, but really, nobody, not one person (somebody in his family, maybe?) who thinks Mr. Rove is a nice guy at heart, that he's misunderstood, that this evil liberal media distorts him unfairly, nothing? Baffles me.

Personal to steveoij:

Then why is it the non-partisan watch-dog/media watch groups rate Limbaugh last in veracity and factual accuracy (16% of the time)?

I guess some people need someplace to go to get their opinions; as a liberal, I develop my own after weighing the facts, not holding on the word of the Oxycontin Prince!

Mr Waxman needs to immediately consider to undertake a rigid "fiber" diet

LOL! Karl kicked their butts! Better stop that from happening again....

Wow. How can so many people be so ignorant. What crime has Karl Rove committed? Further, what "war crimes" has the administration committed? Go and read the United States Constitution, you idiots. None of what the administration alleged did amounts to any crime, much less war crimes.

Sounds as if old Henry is po'd that the republicans got the best of the liberals for eight years.

Congress should have him ARRESTED for having those U.S. Attorneys fired.

Lets see, Congress is at a 9% approval rating. I think Waxman and the rest of the House and Senate are grossly overpaid.

Another news headline, but highly doubtful if Dem can and will do anything meaningful about it. Dem has been trying to get at Rove for god-knows how long, and where is Rove now? Safe and sound.

To be sure, if the Dem has anyone has effective as Rove, Dem would not be in such shambles. But you know what, Obama looks pretty close to Bush in sticking-to-his-scripts, not-answering-questions, and Obama is one-up Bush in shifting positions. How brilliant – and we still have this whole herd chanting Change for this same-old-same-old Obama.

If you say Rove is sick to the bone, I'd say Obama is not that far off.

Sam, Muncie, Ind. You are half right!
Democrats will not stoop to Republican levels to win.

That is so true why would they want to step up in the world when they occupy its lowest level.

Obama and the rest of his party is lower then scum!

Rove is what got GW elected TWICE...With all the odds in Obamas' favor, McCain is still making it a close race. All of those states that voted before the Rev. Wright, Rezko incidents are seeing the side of him they did not see before they voted. The more we see of the real Obama the less we like him. If they knew then what they know now Hillary would be the nominee. I will write her name on my ballot in November, and let the chips fall where they may.

This should have been done in the last century. It's not about liberal vs. conservative; it's about criminal vs. legal.

I guess the D's forget the name Harold Ickes?

Hey ARB what side are ON, first you said it will be bad if Obama get elected, then you said you support Obama, cmon man make up your brain.

I'll believe it wwhen I see it .... the Dems have accomplished nothing a all in the last two years.

Why isn't Waxman putting this criminal in jail instead of posturing about "future Roves"?

Just wait. Everything Obama and his surrogates say one day, change the next day. If it wasn't for Bill and Hillary Clinton, he wouldn't know what to do.

Waxman is one of the good ones. Rove is not.

No More Rove's in WH. Please start proceedings immediately! Why can't he be prosecuted? At least he should be "fired" & this position should be no more. WH no place for Rove's & others like him.
OBAMA FOR PRES. 08. We Love You Obama.

“Can you imagine the reaction if each member of Congress had a campaign person paid for with taxpayer dollars?”

Right on, Waxman! It's almost as absurd as a Congress with a historically low apporval rating voting to raise their tax-payer-funded salaries!

Wait a minute....

And We are all supposed to congratulate the Dems in figuring this out.
Took 8 years to figure it out LOL , they are a day late and a dollar short as usual.

I love this about the Democrats because it proves they are nothing but whiney losers. And yes they are also pathetic.

They cry that Bush is so dumb and Rove is the Anti-Christ and yet get beat both them in 2000 and 04.

Yes they new war cry is if you cant beat them then ban them. Just like anything else the Democrats hate they just give us more bans.

They want to ban free speech/rights to own guns and even bans on your right to smoke.

The only thing they don’t want to ban is their new tax hikes.

I wish we had a million Roves so we could ban people from voting for these left wing nut jobs called Democrats.

What a great idea. It should be enacted before President Obama takes office so none of his political operatives can occupy the White House. Fantastic idea. Glad Waxman thought of it. LOL

Why don't we ban America hating leftist freaks like Waxman from setting foot in my country and getting within the United States' territorial waters?

Lloyd,
As far as public radio goes, it's a well accepted fact that the truth is not considered political spin. You can't call it political spin because they don't support your lies.

Rove isn't some brilliant shining star. He helped orchestrate the most unpopular failed administration in modern American history. How smart does one have to be to achieve that?

Thank you! and to think....my hard earned tax dollars went to him. And what did I get in return? Thinking about it gives me a headache even now.

PUMA campaign = Operation Chaos, Part 2

I support the move. There is no place for crooks in President's administrative staff.

Hey PUMA morons,

McCain is so sexist that if elected, he will even consider taking away women's voting rights
Now that is just how sexist the guy is....and if u still wanna vote for him, do us a favor and stop all the yapping

oh shoot. when i read the headline i thought they were going to castrate rove to prevent any future ones. too bad.

To all the OBAMA haters saying they will vote for McCshame or not vote at all, why are you telling us? We don't care...just do it. Your nothing but Republicans anyways.....so that's what us "true" dem's expect of you. OBAMA will be the POTUS..get used it or not, just don't vote for him. However, we don't care and don't need to know. You can vote for Bob Barr for all I care! W E D O N' T N E E D fake, phony DEMOCRATS ON OUR TEAM

OBAMA / SEBELIUS 08!

Rove is nothing more than a dirty slime bag criminal who will get his paybacks soon. Those prisoners like those chubby doughboy types and will have fun with him when he is finally locked up.

This one is the most dispicable next to Bush and Cheney–a political hack right in the White House using tax dollars and pretending they stand for "small government." All of these law-breakers refuse to testify when they are called before the congress even though they are on the peoples' payroll. They simply ignore everything and lie even thought they are shown video of themselves. Meanwhile the faithful Republicans keep voting these crooks back in office. We are on the brink.........................

This is a great idea. The people that are down on Democrats for suggesting accountability always seem to forget this kind of legislation also protects them from President Obama's political advisor using their tax money to campaign from the White House.

I say let it ride. All these extensions of power of the executive branch that were installed by HRH and court, should be used and abused just as HRH has done. Then we will see how the Republicans like to be railroaded, oh say, for 16 years!

Republican, remember, HRH set the precendent, so when you challange it in court, judges will be able to point back to HRH and say if he could do it then we can do it.

ALL DEMOCRATS,

DON'T FALL FOR republicans poising as HRC SUPPORTERS...

THEY ARE TRYING TO INFECT 'anger' BETWEEN HRC SUPPORTERS AND OBAMA'S...

DON'T FIGHT evil WITH evil. THE BIBLE SAYS TO FIGHT IT WITH GOOD.

SO BLESS THEM!!!

Don't blame Karl Roves. He just does what he's paid to do (and he's darn good at it). I guarantee you, the Dems have their own version of Karl Roves. The Dems may want to be careful what they wish for (and who they decide to ban from serving in an administration). It may come back to bite them.

Although, it would be nice if we could ban all politicians from Wash DC.......

Do it. Don't just talk about it – do it.

We should not be talking about Rove this potato head and ET looking guy should be sent back to where he came from or thrown in Jail for life, this guy is evil disgrace to humanity. People like Rove were created without God's Knowlege they need to be destroyed.

When will the Dems and far left nuts get it?

NOTE: BUSH IS NOT RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION

The Bush movement is over, like the 60's
let it go

Well,Well, how much does this job pay? "White House's Office of Political Affairs and the Office of Public Liaison pay

Hey did anyone notice that Karl Rove is not wearing a flag pin? I guess that means he's as unamerican as he try's to make everyone else look. Glad to hear he won't be getting paid anymore to help elect a corrupt person like Bush.

Karl Rove,
he put his limited awareness to the fullest possible harm.

Rove, Bush & co. should be on trial, impeached and put in jail where they belong!!

Rove is a product of the Washington system. If federal money can't be used to pay his salary, corporate money is readily available. The voters who could not discern that Bush was and is an intellectual lightweight, unworthy of the office, and clueless are the source of the problem.

Being from Texas, I was able to vote against the guy 4 times, and each time he won. He defeated Ann Richards, Texas' finest governor of recent memory, he defeated Gore, and he defeated Kerry. The foolishness of my fellow voters was a real eye-opener to me. As Mr. Barnum used to say, one is born every minute.

Why don't the Democrats do what the American people want them to do. I am tired of this congress doing NOTHING for the American people.

WAKE UP AMERICA, LET US TAKE OUR GOVERNMENT BACK!

Ken,
Check your facts. Did you know (probably not) that the republicants in Congress have used the filibuster more times in one session than any other Congressional session in history? If the Dems managed to get something by them, the Prez. vetoed it. He didn't start using his veto power until the Dems took over Congress.

McSame is a flip flopper that can't even remember where he stands on anything. He only kicks Bush under the bus when it suits him. He will fund raise with him behind closed doors, but bad mouths him in the light. McSame will lose and then he can go back to the Senate telling war stories. He is so out of touch with reality.

OH REALLY? DOES DAVID AXELROD KNOW THAT?

Contrast this with right-wing outrage when Al Gore simply made campaign-based phone calls from his office at the white house. Bush had a dedicated campaign director on staff, at taxpayer expense. (But I guess, as long as he didn't make any phone calls, it was legal).

I also remember the outrage when Clinton used Air-Force 1 to make campaign stops during his 1996 reelection bid. And how proudly the right-wing media reported Bush doing the exact same thing in 2004.

This is ridiculous! If the dems had a guy or gal like Rove they wouldn't be saying this. And some day the dems will have somene like that – it is fated – and the repubs will be saying this.

Why do all of this administrations' members and representatives wear that stupid, wry grin on their faces. I say we round them up...(bush, cheney, rove etc.) tie them to a tree and beat them until they confess to being witches.

I gotta say, that's funny! No future Karl Roves!! LOL!!!!!

Karl Rove, the biggest crook along side VP Cheney. THE BIG PICTURE THINKER...WHAT A BUNCH OF CROOKS, WHATEVER THEY DID WAS JUST A GIVEN. WHY HAVEN'T THEY BEEN CHARGED WITH ALL THEY DID....BILLCLINTON WOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGES FOR SPEAKING ABOUT THEIR CRIMES!!!! THEY HAVE ALL STOLE OUR MONEY CHANGED LAWS TO MAKE IT LEGAL, WHY HAVE WE SCREAMED, WE'RE MAD AS HELL AND NOT TAKING IT ANY MORE...FEAR????? BIG MONEY, (NO THEY TOOK THAT) MUST BE FEAR...THEY DID AND COULD MAKE THINGS HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO SPOKE OUT AGAINST THEM...THIS WAS OVER LOOKED ALSO... WHAT A BUNCH OF BUM WE PAID FOR...EVERYONE KISSED THEIR RINGS AND BUTTS.

And what is public radio and TV, if not publicly funded political spin for democrats..

THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT FLAWS IN OUR COUNTRY. FIRST OF ALL THEY NEED TO GET RID OF ELECTORAL COLLEGE, WHICH WORKED DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF OUR COUNTRY, AND DO IT BY COUNTING EACH VOTE. ROVE SHOULD BE SENT TO THE FRONT LINES IN AFGANASTAN

Wasn't this position created during the Clinton administration?

Kudos to Rep. Waxman for trying to correct this most egregious mistake. I say, whatever it takes to ensure this doesn't happen again, DO IT - at least Rep. Waxman won't use Rovian tactics to keep future Roves out of where Rove should never have been in the first place.
And I hope Congress flexes its collective muscle to arrest Rove, if necessary, since he thinks he's above the law and refuses to testify before Congress! LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY.

Brandon Hillary PUMA for Mc Cain-Pa – U R sofa king we todd it. Why would you vote for policies that got the U.S. in the mess we are in now just because you didn't like how you're candidate was treated. Apparently HRC has a bigger set than you and is able to realize her lack of management skills and lack of new ideas were what lost her the nomination and not any percieved sexism. PUMA please grow up.

C'mon, you're all giving Karl Rove too much credit; the guy's nothing special. He just happened to be running Bush's re-election show when a lot of Americans were so terrified of the terrorism boogeyman they would've followed Stalin if he promised them safety. Well, the little 9/11 honeymoon's over ... and Rove's with it.

Remember Democrats... August! Will be Hate, Hate, Hate.....
August the 8th 2008.... Get it while you will!! Because your finished in 2009. End of the Line for you............

1.) Ending unpopular war and returning toops. Check
2.) Oil prices on the rise. Check
3.) Crooked president in the White House. Check
4.) Carterbama running for president. Check.

Yup it's 1976 all over again!!!!

I HATE THIS GUY. I'M GLAD THAT WE DID NOT LET HIM GAVE A SPEECH AT MY SCHOOL.

HE SHOULD BE ARRESTED AS SOON AS BUSH IS OUT OF OFFICE.

BARRACK HUISSEIN OBAMA 08 AND 12

McSame already has his book, so no need to have him in the White House when you have him on speed dial!!! You won't have to worry about change, casue he won't make any!!!

No Bush/and McSame!!!!

TO: "BHO not my candidate", go play in heavy traffic. Don't talk stupid on this blog. We are here to talk about serious issues, not read about how much you love Rev. wright and Rezko......that issue is long past, we got real issues to deal with. Rev. Wright and Rezko have nothing to do with OBAMA....are you mad that they didn't befriend you??
HATER!

OBAMA / SEBELIUS- 08!

WHERE IS KARL'S FLAG PIN ???? OH MY, HE MUST BE A TERRORIST !!! Ooooh i'm scared !!

Liberals always love to 'ban' and outlaw republican ideas that work, don't they?

Fairness doctrine anyone? They are so consumed with Rush Limbaugh they want a law to keep him off the radio too.

Liberals love the first amendment, don't they? Free speech..as long as you agree with us. Pathetic libs.

Isn't David Axlerod the "Karl Rove" of the Dems??? You better do your research people.

Note: this article is misleading. He only says that he wants the public office to be closed. He doesn't want taxpayers to pay for another Rove. But he leaves the door wide open for non-publicly financed (i.e. financed from campaign donations, party donations, etc.) Roves for any future democratic presidents.
And he also doesn't address all those secret meetings Cheney had with oil executives who basically wrote our entire energy policy. They were not paid by taxpayer dollars but they sure dictated policy on how the rest of us taxpayers are going to live for years to come! I guess that's also ok for democrats...

Wow, and to think that:

*"W" ran on the platform of "I will return DIGNITY to the White House" – NOT!! Rove/Chaney/Libby/Foley/Craig and many others prove differently. Pedophiles, hypocrites, liars and thieves they are!
*Republicans are for smaller, less intrusive government – Not! If that was the case they wouldn't inject themselves nor legislation into private family matters (Terri Schiavo case, Illegal wiretapping, etc.).
*Republicans are economically conservative – NOT! Surplus to HUGE deficit in 0.2 seconds.

Sympathetic as I am with the idea, you can't get rid of corruption by banning particular kinds of positions. Unscrupulous politicians will simply hide their henchmen in jobs that are legitimate now but can be corrupted down the road.

The only way to discourage political corruption is to prosecute it when it occurs. The House should hold Rove in contempt for refusing to comply with its subpoena and then throw him in jail immediately.

Wonderful! I fully support this measure. But I think Rove should be in jail for his illegalities, but then you'd probably have to jail the rest of the repubicans too cause most of them are crooked. John Mcwar doesn't stand a chance this year.
And Kevin – you sound like the whiney loser.

Actually all the members of Congress do have people on staff devoted soley to their reelection, so the whining is ridiculous.

i support obama with all my heart.

karl Rove should be in prison along with Bush and Cheney

Karl, Jesse says to say "Hi" and let you know that he misses you and hopes to see you soon.
Hugs and kisses,

Beez.

The guy is immoral, ammoral, unconcienable, perverse, dishonest, lying, conniving, cheating, cruel, fatuas, unpatriotic, hate filled, sleezy, hog joweled, degenerate, corupt, Machiavelen, etc. All wrapred up in one rotund barely human body.No one else in the history of the world has accomplished anything close to this.

Cheney wanted testimony cut, ex-EPA official says

we want such headings on ticker CNN...
It affects us all...
especially tomorrows.

I agree with Vahe – God please save us! I have never seen as many idiotic statements as I've seen today! Have people's minds blanked out the last 8 TERRIBLE years? You want more? I can't believe any half way intelligent person would.

Rove scares me almost as much as Obama. Oh that's right, dissent against Obama has been outlawed. I will keep my mouth shut.

After the Bush Cabal is finished in January, 2009, the war crimes trials should start immediately for Bush, Cheney, Rove, Wolfowitz, Bremer, Rumsfeld, etc.

I know they won't, but I can dream, can't I?!

What Rove said about Obama:

"Even if you never met him, you know this guy," he said at a Capitol Hill breakfast, according to ABC. "He's the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone."

The best part: Rove made this SNIDE comment about Obama while he was at the Capitol Hill country club."

What an IDIOT.

Just send Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Bush, and their cheerleaders at Faux News to an International Tribunal similar to Nuremberg after WW2 or the Hague and let them serve as a reminder that actions, including lying and propaganda, have consequences.

CAUGHT AGAIN!!!

Republicans trying to be Hillary supporters that will vote for McCain…….ya, a Hillary supporter who is defending Karl Rove. Its just too funny!

And the other ones that desperately try to bring up things that American’s don’t care. Fear card, Flip Flop, Rezko, Wright, muslim, Orange Alert………… See I even mentioned them for you……………. It may have worked in 2000 & 2004 but this year its just not going to work.

America has finally smartened up. NOT THIS TIME!!!

Too funny, Hillary supporter defending Karl Rove……….I am going to laugh all day with that one!!!

"Office of Political Affairs and the Office of Public Liaison"

Otherwise known as Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

republicans should be sent to guantanamo.they are the real terrorists.9/11 was a fraud,perpetuated by republicans and corporate interests,to crank up the old war machine and rape our own country.liars,thieves and murderers.rove and bush leading the way.

It shouldn't be that there shouldn't be another 'Karl Rove' just that 1) The Dems need to be better at standing up to them and 2) they should hold the real Karl Rove acountable for all that he has done. It's a joke how he's been aloud to get away with basically murder and the mugging of the Presidency of the United States.

Guaranteed. If Karl Rove were a Democrat apparatchik, he would be hailed by Waxman and all the left-coasters as a dedicated public servant. DON'T INSULT MY INTELLIGENCE!!!!

Rove is a devil helper, bush is the devil; Cheney is satan. They have been spoonfeeding bush for 8 years. these are the people the repugs look up to.. very scary.

Future....Shouldn't they be focusing on the present?! Shouldn't his bloated rear end be in jail months ago?

Hey t –

"Well of course they don't want another Rove, he's a genius who's not on their side. Naturally, if someone in the democratic party was as smart as Rove, this issue wouldn't even come up."

He wasn't so smart in 06, huh? "His numbers" just never did mesh with reality. I don't think he's such a genius – his slash and burn tactics aren't working so well this year. He's transparent – and now everyone can see through him and his bull. I'd say that Obama is running a smoother campaign than Rove could ever dream of – and he's not going scum bucket nasty like Rove did. Oh yeah, Obama's much better than Rove could dream of being.

karl rove is why decent people dont vote republican.
they may actually care about others.
funny how cheney/rove voters
scrapped off those bumper stickers so quickly.
when you can admit you voted TWICE
for the cabal then you may
have some credible insight about anything .
you have held your breath for over 7 years
so i wont hold mine waiting

The thought that we paid Rove with our tax dollars to systematically destroy this country in the name of partisan politics just turns my stomach.

I've always wondered why my tax dollars are paying for political operatives in the White House. Waxman is one of the few in Congress willing to stand up to the Bush mafia.

Of course EVERY congressman has a communications director who's sole purpose is to reelect his boss.

Everyone one of these congressmen including Waxbrow pays this guy with tax payer money.

But of course. let's cast stone.

I love the knee-jerk CNN treason trial posts on every article about White House.

Change the album, the song is old.

I recently heard from a Washington insider that Dick Cheney's pet name for GW (when he's not around) is "The Intern" – further evidence of the big Dick running the show. Rove, Rumsfeld and all the other sleaze balls that America's confused republicans decided to burden this earth with are a typical reflection of the party's base, which is essentially biggotry and greed. Greed at the expense of the environment, greed at the expense of the neediset amongst us.

How did they turn "environmentailst" into a bad word? Havign concern fo rour oceans, air, forests and the rest of God's creatures is a horrible thing?

I'm proud to be a latte drinking, birkenstock wearing, prius driving progressive environmentalist with a social consciousness and disdain for weapons, wars and greedy corporations and individuals who pollute and foul our plant with their consumeristic behavior that seeks to devour and conquer all in it's path.

No more Roves in the White House is a no brainer however it's the least of our problems.

Rove.
I clear my nose in your general direction, you wiper of other peoples bottons, you ninny twit. Rove is obscene.

Rove was the most brilliant PR spin man the nation has seen in and out of politics. He kept his hands on the pulse of the average voter (christian, fearful, diminished education) and used these stats to the advantage of the administration's strategy. It didn't backfire immediately... but more did catch on recently (in my opinion) and they will be more observant of spin coming from the White House for a few years... should this role be banned? No, don't think that solves the problem. Voters must become educated. That is what a true leader would propose.

The Dems need their own Rove, and never mind Sam of Muncie's stupid comment about Democrats not stooping to Republicans' levels. Political parties that are out of power and don't play for keeps, going below the belt if need be, stay out of power. I agree Rove is a scum but the Dems could learn a lot from him if only they weren't blinded by hate. Waxman's proposal is just sour grapes and I hope it is defeated. Politics is a dirty business and it's payback time!

Typical liberal democrat way to 'level the playing field', ban it. You idiots can't win without making a new law to ban something you can't do on your own. You guys took control of welfare and look what it's done to our country. You guys took over the education dept during Carter's reign, and look at the uneducated sponges coming out of our schools. What you touch you break, what you can't do on your own efforts you ban the competition so they can't do it either. BABIES!!! Rove is smart and knows what he's doing so let's criminalize him.

Then I think Obama should also be banned for allowing illegal and thug activity to infiltrate his campaign in caucus states and for trying to stack the decks with delegates and committee appointees. Also for buying superdelegate votes and for lying to the American people.

I do not see a big diffeence in underhanded activities here.

Waxman is a yes man.

Is there anyone out there who thinks Karl Rove ever had the best interests of his country at heart?

Seems his entire political existence has been devoted to getting his people in office and keeping them in office. What they do while in office is completely beside the point. What lies must be told, or laws broken to get them there is beside the point.

"Rovian" is entering the national lexicon as an adjective meaning, "dirty, underhanded, and despicable." It makes "Machiavellian" sound like a compliment.

NObama wants to add Wright and Rezco to his staff.

Dems messed up by voting for Obama. Hillary was our only hope.

I HAVE A MAN-CRUSH ON OBAMA.

Yep, you gotta love this country.....

The more dirt that comes out of practices upheld in Washington with taxpayers dollars is totally disgusting. Where are the lawmakers that protect taxpayers from theives or are they also theives. We the People need to overturn this House of Theives. They should be held totally responsible for the corruption that has caused failure in our economy and loss of jobs.

YOU CAN TELL WHAT THE DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS ARE DOING – NOTHING – ABSOLUTELY NOTHING – JUST LIKE B.O. PLANS ON DOING – NOTHING. ALL THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO SINCE IN OFFICE IS SPEW OUT NEGATIVITY AND LOOK FOR DIRT THAT THEY WILL NEVER FIND! WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS COUNTRY INSTEAD OF POUTING AND BLAMING, BLAMING AND POUTING? YOU SOUND LIKE IGNORANT LUNATICS! WHAT HAS KARL ROVE EVER DONE TO YOU IDIOTS? YOU'RE JUST NITWITS WHOSE VOTES WILL BE CANCELLED OUT BY US REPUBLICANS AND INDEPENDENTS IN NOVEMBER! DEAL WITH IT!

Its morons like these PUMAs posting here that attempt to stir up trouble with their divisive statements. The subject here is not related to Obama so give the Obama bashing a rest you morons.

This move has David Axelrod written all over it!

Get an ally to say the exact opposite of what you want as part of your effort to get it.

Axelrod has wet dreams of being called The Architect and Obama's Brain.

Too bad he's running a two-front battle against all the Republicans and much of the base of the Democratic Party's constituencies.

Obama sleazed off with a nomination that he did not earn and does not deserve, and he's got no chance of winning in November.

Sorry Axelrod.

Knoxville NFIL

WAKE UP AMERICA IS RIGHT. YOU WONT TAKE BACK ANYTHING IF O.B. GETS ELECTED. O.B. CRITISIZES EVERYONE FOR A PLAN ,BUT HE HAS NOTHING BUT B.S. SPEECHES AND FAIRTALE PROMISES. AMERICA PEOPLE ARE SO GULLABLE AND O.B. KNOWS IT. THATS WHY HE CAN CON YOU YOUNG FOLLOWERS AND BRAINWASH YOU TO HIS LEVEL. O.B. IS NOTHING BUT A BIG JOKE. HRC WAS THE ONLY REALISTIC CANIDATE RUNNING ,BUT SHE GOT SWIFTBOATED BY THE DNC ETC. THEY COULDN'T EVEN GIVE HER ENOUGH RESPECT TO FINISHED THE PRIMARIES BEFORE THE SUPER DELIGATES PUSHED O.B. OVER THE LINE. I WOULDN,T DO ANYTHING FOR HIM IF I WAS HER ,AFTER THAT AND ALL THE HATE HIS FOLLOWERS GAVE HER AND HER SUPPORTERS. AMERICA GETS WHAT THEY DESERVE.

yes!more henry waxmans,please!no more roves!

In the world of legacies, I certainly hope they get this one's right; scum bag, unethical, corrupt, arrogant, fraudulant, irresponsible, greedy, and I could go on. And the audacity of seeing him on a talk show giving advice makes me want to shoot my tv. There is no one too low to be given the respect that is so undeserving of this person. To be paid by us, the taxpayer, to coerice and fabricate and lie and disrespect the law – I'm beyond words harsh enough to describe this person. I'm sure he is proud of himself, and that he laughed all the way to the bank during his time with Bushy, and, of course, he'll write a book (or has already) that the ignorant public will buy to make him even richer and sleazier. Do you get the picture of what I think his legacy should be??

Yes Bush and Cheney simply delegated everything to Rove. The President is suppose to directly be in charge of running the White House not someone like Rove.

The democrats have the equivalent in Rahm Emmanuel, only worse. Rove has done nothing illegal, yet the democrats want to keep the Kool-Aid drinking lemmings thinking he is some kind of evil conspirator because they brought two shamefully poor (and now three) candidates to the election.

The dems will be whining again in November.

America is smarter than just the democrats.

We will not elect Obama!

Get rid of career politicians like Waxman that feed the public ridiculous pablam and have done nothing to curtail the abuses of the last 8 years.

Why don't we try term limits.... one 6 year executive....one six year senate and one four year house.

Anything would be better than the gridlock.......R's have done nothing....D's have done nothing.......and neither are going to do anything....it is the gravy train.......... by the way.....how about the congress actually creating money and not the FED..... In debt to whom!

Waxman the slimeball – give us a break. The most left-wing partisan of all in Congress. Of course – we read this on the Clinton News Network – with all the normal left wing slant. How surprising.

Wow, you people really are uninformed aren't you?
Ever wonder why Waxman wants him banned? It's because the man is a freaking political genius. No other way to put it. Of course he hates the man, he has single handedly orchestrated two presidential victories when both should have been Democratic victories. So now you hate the man because he did what he was paid to do?
And just stop while your ahead if you think Henry Waxman isn't one of the dirtiest politicians there is. His head is so far up in the clouds he might as well be Frank Lucas before he was pulled down. Talk about this administration all you want but Democrats do the same crap in the Senate on a daily basis. OH and congrats Dems for having the lowest approval rating ever for a national government elected office. Single digits is hard to do. But let me guess...it's Bush' fault too right?
Facts aren't a liberals friend

The Dems are so silly. Okay we get rid of this position. With a stroke of a pen we create another one. Why do we want to get rid of any president's advisors? No one man can run a government like ours. I know you hate Rove, but use common sense. Do not let your emotion direct your decisions.

Man, talk about SOUR GRAPES, SORE LOSERS, PATHETIC DEMOCRATS. I'VE GOT A BETTER IDEA – let's ban FUTURE DEMOCRATS. Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a load of garbage. Just as with everything else, when lefties don't like something and the can't figure out how to handle it, they try to legislate it out of existence.

I'm not religious, but Amen and Hallelujah! Put Rove in prison with Cheney and Bush! Waxman is a true American.

Karl Rove is a big of a liar as Obama is. Karl Rove should be sent to the moon and left, Obama should be sent BACK TO IL.

Both Bush and Rove should be on trial for high treason.

I had to post here since the comments are closed for the McCain economic interview that took place this morning.

I don't see how anyone can vote for McCain. He knows absolutely nothing about economics. During the interview, he consistently switched the subject with sound bites and sarcastic responses when pressed for an answer. I would like him to list the "many" economists that allegedly agrees with his warped economic policy. He's using the seriously outdated republican rhetoric: democrats are tax and spend librals. Irrespective of the 21st century spin and updated version of this tired and worn out republican rhetoric, voters clearly saw in today's interview that McCain is a clueless politician. And to think, he actually wants to debate Obama. No amount of tutoring is going to prepare McCain when he pressed on the issues.

Soooo.... you want to ban political consultants.... from politics? Can we also ban politicians from politics? I'd go for that, Mr. Waxman.

Democrats are such whiney losers. How pathetic.

impeach all of them! prosecute all of them! NOONE should be allowed to disreguard human lives the way these people have. And they call themselves evangelicals? Please

Need we comment.......????????????? LOL

Liberal morons......gotta love the entertainment factor they bring with their insane ideas.

Vote McCain or join the insane.

Actually congressman Waxman, I am more outraged that a clown like you continues to occupy a seat in government. I am more outrtaged that your party made all of these promises yet spent the first year of its majority status bringing bill after bill after bill to the floor demanding a withdrawal from Iraq. I am more outraged that your party is beholden to the unions and George Soros to such a point that you fail to accomplish anything in the last two years.

If you outlaw this, then you better be honest and dig into Obama's closet and get rid of his contyacts that he and his wife have within their little quite organization. They are just like the Clintons and have many hidden secrets in those closets which will soon be brought to air. It may not open all the way, but read some of what is happening and lets see who actually is open to change and who is not, who can change the economy and who cannot and who is best for the people and who is not. What we are seeing now is flipflops by some and lack of real support by others, who do we actually trust,
NEITHER YET.....

Waxman – you have got to be kinding. Take up issues of importance to the country! I would say 90% or more of your taxpayer staff is concerned about your reelection and I would venture to guess (based upon my experience in Washington) that they take "vacation time" to aid in yours and other campaign efforts.

Also lets look back at our civics – role of the President is also Chief of Party – hence why you have a Political/Public Outreach. Did not hear the moans on the use of this position for the Clinton years

The real corruption in the White House has been missing files that mysteriously show up on Whitewater, lost FBI files on US citizens, and cigar wrappers & pizza boxes with a highlighted dictionary with the definition of "IS".

KARL ROVE = BUSH = McSHAME have succeeded in destroying millions of american lives and the future of our children for the sake of their lobbyist friends & rich oil barons!

McBUSH = 4 MORE YEARS OF BUSH's & ROVE FAILED ECONOMIC POLICIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Change we can believe in .... YES

This is should be a no-brainer

Where is HIS flag pin?

Henry Waxman you are one of the most worthless members of congress to ever walk the halls. You have done nothing meaningful or positive for the american people. Your endless witchhunt of the President would make the founding fathers of this fine nation roll in the grave. You are a Traitor to this country and if you lived during Lincolns era would have been hung for TREASON.

ALL AMERICANS ARE SUFFERING BY THESE SLEAZY TACTICS.

ALL AMERICANS SHOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SCUM BAG

DISHONEST POLITICAL POLICY. IN THE LAST 8 YEARS WE,

AMERICANS HAVE TRANSFERED MORE WEALTH OUT OF OUR

NATION THAN WE OR ANYONE EVER HAS. A CLEAR POLICY

THAT WILL LEAD TO POVERTY FOR AMERICA. WITH LEADERS

LIKE THAT, WE DO NOT NEED ENEMIES.

How did congress approve this position in the first place? I thought all White House positions had to be approved by the Senate. We have had the worst congress in history. The balance of power no longer exists.

We should put Karl Rove on trial for treason.

The only answer for rove and future roves is sterilization.

Why is this guy not in jail. Well this is the Bush McCain policy over, and over again.

Rove looks like a creepy nerd. If you turn your back he'll be more than happy to stab you.

Can they also ban another Republican from running for the White House. I think they have damage the country enough. Vote for either Independent or Dems.

Brandon Hillary PUMA – your post is the saddest thing I've seen in a while. Really? You are still harping on SUPERDELEGATE VOTES? It would be funny if it wasn't so sad!

Oh! P-L-E-A-S-E!!

Do you really think democrats are that innocent?

People......Get a grip & stop letting the media play you for fools.

I am no Karl Rove fan, but for ANY politician to point fingers is a joke!
Everyone of them seek re-election or a new office while being paid by "taxpayers" . To say that any politicians personal staff only works on government business would be an even bigger joke.
If they want true reform, they should do what the rest of us do- take time off wihtout pay to search for work, quit and then look for a job and stop all this fake outrage.
With the exception of John Edwards every candidate for the Dems was a working in office. Gulinai was the only one I cna remember from the Republicans not on the taxpayer dole while running.
Mr Waxman- you are my representitive, but come on!!

Karl Rove is a brilliant man with good principles.

Barack Obama is a fairly smart man with variable principles.

John McCain is an average man with decent principles.

Rove needs to run for President. There are only 10 people out there who hate him an no one listens to them.

There are many unethical people on either side of the aisle, like Rove. I agree with the thinking that this office should be abolished. Unfortunately, both sides are as corrupt and should a politico wish these duties could be transfered to another department.

Everyone wants to blame Karl Rove for everything. I think that he is a slimey, souless person myself. But when are the American people going to stop blaming Rove and the Media. If the citizens of this country were not so lazy. And actually did some research on George Bush. Instead of relying on what was being spoon fed by the media and advertisements. This would have never happened. I am concerned that it could happen again. With the media scrutinizing Obama's every word. Will we do research or depend on corporate media.

rove
bush
nothing but 4-letter words!

That guy should be in leg irons! He is a criminal and should be dragged in front of the House to testify, but all he would do there is lie anyway.

And just who, Waxman, will be the judge of who should be on the president's staff if not the president himself?

That is a GREAT idea!!!!! Can't wait to see the Obamabots getting crazy over this and start posting hate-filled comments.

Oh, crud!

I wanted to be the Karl Rove of the Obama Administration. I wanted to screw over Republicans and make them look like idiots from my high perch in the White House. I've got so many cool ways to stick it those jerks, it's too bad I might not get the chance.

You can possibly eradicate evil from this world. Karl Rove and people alike will find a way, one way or another to inflict their evil theory and theology to capitalize on the innocence of the naïve.

One more example of the do nothing Congress. Oil prices out of control etc. but let's blow smoke about Rove so we look busy .Maybe we need to drag some more CEO's up on capital hill for a dog and pony show which amounts to NOTHING .
Bush has a higher approval rating than these clowns.

The democrats sound so stupid right now.

Get A BIG FAT RESTRAINING HARRASMENT ORDER against him and agains BUSH so that these two dont come near or close to the US SOIL

CARL ROVE IS A DESPICABLE CREATURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rove may be a smart man, a very smart man, but smarts does not the man's character.

It is said that "power corrupts, and ultimate power corrupts ultimately." That is not quite right.

"Power attracts those most easily corrupted."

The democrats can't do that. How will reverend wright , Resko and Obama's terriost friends get a job there. Just another political ploy by the democrats. They all put their political buddies who help them get elected in office or pay them off with goverment contracts. How do you think we got idiots with no idea how to do their jobs in both democrat and republican administrations.

"Can you imagine the reaction if each member of Congress had a campaign person paid for with taxpayer dollars?"

Tell me he's kidding....

That not only describes ANY member of Congress...it also describes a fair percentage of their staff members. For the love of God, concentrate on things that matter, like health care, the economy, the war, unemployment....

Obama Supporter from FL -–Rove scares the crap out of me. Every time I see his picture I'm convinced he may actually be an alien.
HE is a DIRTY FAT HEADED PILLSBURY DOUGH BOY --NO CONSCIOUS

Stop people like Carl Rove from the White House...... ok.... They go to Fox News. Which one is more evil, Carl Rove or Fox News?

July 8th, 2008 4:02 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
UUGGGG! do you people have any idea who the REAL JOHN MCCAIN IS? well guess not and you wont either until it is tooooo late. John McCain and his BIG OIL lobbyist, special interest groups and 527s are using the SAME BUSH RNC tactics they have used in the past…i beg you to research John McCain…key words: songbird McCain, ENRON loophole, the McCain Bill, McCain-Feingold bill, USS Forrestal, $307 billion farm bill, ROEvWADE, Carol McCain, Keating 5,Vicki L. Iseman, "Senator John McCain has made a career out of serving the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its army of lobbyists, bagmen, and corrupt bankers during the last three decades.", "Tom Loeffler, McCain’s finance co-chair received $15 million from Saudi clients since 2002," look up Gramm...there is so much more
McCain pulled the wool over the eyes of America...just like BUSH
WILL THERE EVEN BE AN AMERICA IN 2012 IF MCCAIN IS IN THE WH 08.
why would you vote for a man you wouldn't want your own kids around…UGGG! this is toooo important

ooo god please save us

I like Karl Rove and think Henry Waxman and Harry Reid are political hacks of the worst order. Waxman's criticism of Rove is hypocrisy of the highest order. Saying politicians can't work in the White House is ridiculous.

I agree get Karl Rove out because this man is trouble, and Karl Rove is causing the coruptions in the White House Karl Rove is why American Hate Washington.

Why bother? The President will vetoe it, even if it should get through the Senate. Also, as soon as a democrat gets into the
White House, Waxman will introduce a new bill to kill this one. The congress of the US is dividing our country; they really think they are put there only to destroy Bush. Not!

So what your sayng is that dems cant fight on their own 4 legs and need to have a govt action to win an election. Obamas pockets are loaded with corperate gold. vote libertatian

t:

It isn't a question of intelligence, it's a question of decency. Democrats will not stoop to Republican levels to win.

Not only should any future Karl Rove be banned, the one we have ought to be tried and convicted for capital treason.

Let's get real about this. Next time the job can be called Presidental Dog Walker but have the same responsibilities unofficially. Does Waxman think he or one of his cronies will get to approve of each job in the Executive branch.

it will be just as disastrous if obama gets elected richard.

Can we ban future Roves from FOX news too, oh wait that's right, that would mean banning Faux Noise altogether.

It is too late now, because the official campaign strategy is, put a spin on everything and sell it to the public. The public is seems is gullible and will buy anything. Then when you are in power use that power to destroy your opponent.

Stop being such sore losers. Just win the darn election, then you can have it your way. It's not the Rep's fault that the Dems are so disfunctional that they can't win elections they supposed to win.

I now think that it is a joke everything PUMA people say. Since when would a Hillary supporter defend Rove.

Carl Rove, the CON in CONsertative. We are taking our country back in November when the CONS are ran out of Washington!

Karl Rove should be banned from the United States of America!!!!

PUMA, the Petulantly Unwavering Martyr Asylum.

It'll be pretty amusing to see how these crybabies feel if, because of them, McCain is elected.

You think you've lost something now …

It Is Time We The People Take Back Our Government. Let's Stop all the Billions From Going To Other Countries And Start Taking Care Of No. 1. We Need To Build This Country Back Up That Has Been Neglected By All The Politicians In Washington That Have Been There All Their LIves. Taking Care of Themselves Instead of Our Country.
WE THE PEOPLE MUST STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS AND CONSITUTIONAL DUTY . WE THE PEOPLE....

t July 8th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

Well of course they don't want another Rove, he's a genius who's not on their side. Naturally, if someone in the democratic party was as smart as Rove, this issue wouldn't even come up.
----------------------------------
Genius? yea one who has broken the law and whose campaign tactics are tearing down the other candidate with whisper campaigns (McCain in SC in 2000) and Swift-Boating (Kerry 2004)...yea he's a real stand-up guy...

Rove should stick to his rap career. That guy creeps me out.

Finger-pointing and factional sniping aside, of course this makes sense and always has. Regardless of which party is in the White House, using general federal revenue to fund factional operations on behalf of the president - of any party - is poor use of public money.

Wasted effort.
What is there to stop Rove or Rove-like person from advising any future President, Dem. or Republican, in private capacity?!

I think that they should start thinking about why Congressional Approval came out today at 9%. Stop with the politics and start doing your jobs.

RealityKing got it right. It makes me laugh to hear the utter bitterness in some of the comments. You Dems will never get over 2000, will you?

WAXMAN CAN START THE LEGISLATION, BECAUSE WE WANT

TO KNOW WHERE EVERY TAX DOLLAR GOES. AND WE WILL

PUT IN PRISON ANY ONE MISSPENDING IT. WE WANT, ON

LINE AVAILABLE TO ALL, THE BALANCE SHEET OF EXPENDITURES

COMING OUT OF OUR POCKETS FOR CONGRESS AS WELL.

HOW MUCH OF OUR, OUR, OUR, DOLLARS DOES MCIDIOT

SPEND TRAVELING THE GLOBE?

No more Rove's in the White House is a good start. Next steps, sending Rove to the Big-House.
Come on Liberals. Stand up or shut up. teamliberal.com

Good idea. Once president, that person needs to represent the United States, not a political party, as Bush & Rove have done.

Why Rove is not in jail is a mystery to me.

I don't support Bush but this is needless legislation that won't do anything but allow Waxman to grandstand! And the congress does have oversight into what gets spent in the country. Yet, did they do anything about this? Nope! They just keep giving blank checks to the President and then go off in the corner and whine about it.

We need an ethics comittee like Obama has supported and McCain has not.

Rove is a traitor and should meet his fate as all traitor should. Anyone who exposes agents for the political advantage should be in jail to start. Libby was the fall guy. the one they were willing to sacrifice.

I think the President–regardless of party should exercise sole discretion of his White House staff.

What we need to do Mr. Waxman–is not elect felonious Presidents who have no respect for the personal sacrifice taxpayers make in expending the finances they are entrusted with. That philosophy extends to the congress.

Vote out all incumbents–this place needs a patriotic enema.

No more fascists hiding under the cloak of invisibility called "executive privilege."EVER!

there are PLENTY of very brilliant people on obama's staff, he IS the one who's winning right now. the idfference is we dems are DECENT human beings, which cannot be said about the righties and their ugly ways!

dems will get ugly, but only to a point, and would never sink to the disgusting subterranian level of reptiles like rove! now ownder the guy's a fat, baldy, you dont look like he does when you live an honest and decent life!!!!

Amen, Amen and then put him behind bars...

Prosecute the war criminals and traitors.
Short drop, sudden stop.

It should have happened yesterday, what are you waiting for?

You know Barack is going to do away with that office as soon as he gets in the White House.

Bush needed Karl, because he doesn't have a brain, so any way, any title to keep Karl in the White House everyday was fine with Bush. So he gave him a phoney title and pretended he was making his own decisions.

Bush was a puppet and everyone knows it. When his brain took America apart piece by piece...and then ran out he back door, Bush was in trouble.

The WORST PRESIDENT IN MODERN HISTORY had help to become the worst president in modern history.

Put Karl in jail, and GW if you can. War criminals. God bless America, because they ruined it.

Good move, and keep in mind that it would apply to Democrats as well.

Republican and Democrats should both be in favor of free and open government, and nonprejudiced utilization of government funds. Look at it this way Republicans, you were forced against your will to spend tax dollars funding Bush's reelection campaign, and the campaigns of Republicans in other states, whether you wanted to or not. Is that acceptable?

hussein will BE change THIS COUNTRY , YEAH JUST LIKE SOUTH SIDE CHICAGO.... if he so good why he cant fix south chicago becoming clean and becoming nice, infact the most dangerous place....anybody ever jogging in south side ...to all pls try....LOL

This whole administration should be charged with war crimes and be suitably dealt with. The willingness of Americans to be complacent in the face of criminal government abuses scares me more than anything else these days.

Brandon Hillary PUMA – your post is the saddest thing I've seen in a while. Really? You are still harping on SUPERDELEGATE VOTES? It would be funny if it wasn't so sad...

The Democrats may be shooting themselves in the foot with this one. If Barack Obama manages to get himself elected this year, it'll take a whole political committee of "Rove" types to get him re-elected in 2012. Be careful what you wish for.

Rove has been the worse thing that ever happened to this country! His dirty politics got Bush elected twice. That alone should be enough to put him in jail.

Waxman for VP!!!

He's right though- Why should the American public pay the salary of another turd blossom?

Count me out

And Karl should be in jail, if you ask me

Why not take it a step further and ban Republicans from the White House?!

First let the Dems have one and THEN banish it! Same with every nefarious trick the Repubs have pulled over the last seven years!

Karl Rove is the typical guy at work that everyone knows should be fired but hasn't and probably will never get fired. Come on, HR!

Talk about setting the political process back about 20 years.

He was good at what he did, you have to give him that. I only hope that when he is lying on his deathbed, he will ask for forgiveness for what he did like Lee Atwater did.

There is no difference between Rove and the propaganda ministers of The Third Reich. Not only should his position be not paid for, it should be prohibited. But before that even, I cannot understand why this creature Rove is still walking the streets.

Finally, the Democrats are trying to claim our Constitution back and prevent another disaster like the last 7+ years.

MCWAR- Home, he turned to public service…but not before seeing his wife who had been crippled from an accident, who waited for him all those years, writing and sending him packages, and deciding to leave her for a rich blonde bimbo.(CINDY)
His philosophy: nothing we haven't seen before, nothing that will get us out of this mess we're in.
FYI.........................KARL ROVE IS SCUMBAG!!!!

Yes, Obama speaks with beautiful words, but that does not mean they are empty words. His love for this country is what will change it for the better!

Well of course they don't want another Rove, he's a genius who's not on their side. Naturally, if someone in the democratic party was as smart as Rove, this issue wouldn't even come up.

And yet, Henry Waxman considers his HUGE staff, paid for by taxpayers, to be a necessity..

Why is Karl Rove not behind bars?

Yes..that would be a great piece of legislation..of course, the Republicans probably won't support it....

GOOD!!! this beast, and anyone even slightly similar to him, should not be allowed in politics. rove has no morals, no honor, no integrity, and no soul!!!

hey waxman, can you do something to ban criminals like bush and cheney too please!!!!

i heard a beautiful story last night about bush and roveykins heading into church one sunday (how the roof did not cave in with those beasts inside, i do not know). so bush says to rovey, "hey, there's too much controversy surrounding you now..." and it was at that glorious moment that rove was fired from his official position at the white house!

Waxman another kool aide drinker.....Maybe he should cast his superdelegate vote as his state voters did for Hillary. I mean this was the original advocated position of the obama campaign when the primaries started then we saw flip flopper Kerry /Kennedy endorse their messiah then obamas position changed? LOL looks like lately obama is following Kerrys 2004 playbook something a Rove type was able to beat despite W's approval ratings......

Yeah Bambi has a bright future.

Obama will bring in Rezko and Wright....

How corrupt can this administration possibly be? It seems every time we turn around, there is more corruption uncovered.

yah no more rove why is he not in jail you see dems i say UNITE AND UNITE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Why don't the Democrats do what the American people want them to do. I am tired of this congress doing NOTHING for the American people.

WAKE UP AMERICA, LET US TAKE OUR GOVERNMENT BACK!

I think the Karl Roves should be banned from Earth.

They are the scummiest of the scum.

Kick 'em all out.

Vote the incumbents out until we get a goverment that works for us, not against us.

Rove scares the crap out of me. Every time I see his picture I'm convinced he may actually be an alien.

Great. We paid for Bush's reelection with tax dollars.

When does Rove report to congress in answer to the subpeopna....and if not soon when is he put into custody and forced to testify

I agree totally and they should also force Rove to come in and testify or be sent to jail if he refuses.
