Can someone help me out with rove's military career?
I can't seem to find any info on it. Ole karl recently trashed Senator Kerry and Representative Murtha about how they cut and run after the first few bullets are shot. Obviously ole karl has been under fire and he knows all about such instances. Otherwise why would he chat as he does? He must be extremely proud of his military career but way too honest to share it with the rest of us. Surely the flag wavers and magnet displayers would just love to shove karl's military heroics up the asses of us evil libruls, especially the one's how have served.

6. Karl Rove has never done anything for this country.
He has never served in the military, the peace corps or given an honest day's work. All that sickly pale, fat balding repuke knows how to do is spin, spin, spin.

12. I got the satire, Boss.
Coming from anyone else, I might have responded as other have, but when I saw your name as the poster, I knew there was more afoot.

9. Randi just ran it down in detail on her show. Maybe there is a
link on her site or you could ask for it. The main story is he got a fake college deferment (part time college) after his number was announced to be 84. He continued at U of Utah part time for a couple of years, was then classified as 1A but changed to 1H as the war was winding down. Sorry, that is all my mind can recall.

11. None, zippo
Below is a statement from Kerry?s chief spokesperson, David Wade:


The closest Karl Rove ever came to combat was these last months spent worrying his cellmates might rough him up in prison. This porcine political operative can't cut and run from the truth any longer. When it came to Iraq, this Administration chose to cut and run from sound intelligence and good diplomacy, cut and run from the best military advice, cut and run from their responsibility to give our troops body armor, and in November, Americans will cut and run from this Republican Congress.

16. Karl was visiting the "TeaRooms" of the public
parks during the war. He was too repressed to get into the open "free love" atmosphere of the times. he opted to take his deferments in the can.

And I'm only half joking...I think.

18. Rove's remarks are politics of distraction. He is trying to dominate news.

20. Rove spent the first 18 yrs of his life under a rock in Texas;
He was raised by snakes and scorpions and a desert rat. He then went to college and found he had all the qualification to be a republican....the rest is history!!!! Military service?...I'm a republican, we don't need no stink-in' military service!:sarcasm:

21. His what? Do you mean his deferments?
He's never seen any military service as far as I know. His kind always think they're some kind of authority on the subject though. He's a roly-poly jazz honk. I think he was dropped on his head as a baby. :dunce: :thumbsdown: :rofl: :rofl:
