Why am I paying to elect republicans?
How Rove directed federal assets for GOP gains
Sunday’s Washington Post reports on how presidential adviser Karl Rove directed federal assets for GOP gains, calling his efforts “unprecedented in its reach.”
“Thirteen months before President Bush was reelected, chief strategist Karl Rove summoned political appointees from around the government to the Old Executive Office Building,” John Solomon, Alec MacGillis and Sarah Cohen write for the paper. “The subject of the Oct. 1, 2003, meeting was ‘asset deployment,’ and the message was clear: The staging of official announcements, high-visibility trips and declarations of federal grants had to be carefully coordinated with the White House political affairs office to ensure the maximum promotion of Bush’s reelection agenda and the Republicans in Congress who supported him, according to documents and some of those involved in the effort.”</em>
Its bad enough my tax dollars are taken from me at the point of a gun to pay for wars I marched against, for faith-based bullshit I don’t believe in, but now, Karl Rove takes my money to elect more republicans?
Exactly when did “We the people…” become outdated?
