Karl Rove, PBS's Frontline traces it's political history tonight
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/architect/

From the link:

Karl Rove is much more than a political guru; he is the single most powerful policy advisor in the White House. FRONTLINE and The Washington Post join forces to trace the political history and modus operandi of the man who has been on the inside of every political and policy decision of the Bush administration, including the current battles on Social Security, taxes, and tort reform. For Rove -- observers say -- enactment of the Bush agenda is a way to win the biggest prize of all: a permanent Republican majority.
===============================

Who needs a "Republican majority" when you own the media and the machines that people think they are voting with,
..... oh right, the people in power do, so the myth of elections, democrats and republicans can be kept in place.

2. a permanent Republican majority
'a permanent Republican majority'! I'm not interested in any 'permanent majority' no matter who's party it is. Having a viable opposition party is a good thing. I tell my friends that all the time. Regardless of party affiliation you should be interested in the reasonable success of the opposition, as a watchdog, as a check, as a party with new ideas, a counter balance to the power of any party. As for the matter, the Greens are kicking some ass on election reform. Let's have some respect of the Greens as a balance to both the Dem and Republicans.

3. When there's a balance between Democrats & Republicans....
I'll show more respect for the Greens. Their platform has always been quite attractive to me but they really screwed up in 2000.

5. That is grandiosity and a sign of a sick puppy. Even Peggy Noonan
said the Bush Inaugural address was "grandiose". The very egocentric will just plain take off and put themselves in some ruling Utopia. Look at Saddam Hussein. He wrote novels about himself.


And when said personality types get put in prison (like serial killers for instance) they draw pictures of themselves.. all day long.


I don't think I can watch it. Too harsh for me to watch PBS. Too scary.
