Whatever you think of Rove and his ethics is just your opinion. The man is a political genius whether you agree with him or not politically. That is what he does.

His ethics stand on their own. I do not have to form a belief. Embracing one who ascribes to this form of ethics is quite telling. But perhaps you have studied this, and this style suits you. You are what you eat.

What is "what he does"? He "political geniuses"?

So ethics are a moveable feast with you? Hmmm.

Maybe I could answer you if I understood one sentence you wrote?

I don't know of anything unethical he has participated in and neither do you...only gossip and rumor. You sound like sour grapes to me.

My own thoughts exactly, after reading this: "The man is a political genius whether you agree with him or not politically. That is what he does."

Get it?

Public knowledge.

In the fall of 1970, Rove used a false identity to enter the campaign office of Democrat Alan J. Dixon, who was running for Illinois State Treasurer, and stole 1000 sheets of paper with campaign letterhead. Rove then printed fake campaign rally fliers promising "free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing", and distributed them at rock concerts and homeless shelters, with the effect of disrupting Dixon's rally (Dixon eventually won the election). Rove's role would not become publicly known until August 1973.

Ummmm, what? The only entity I know that has a 19% approval rating is our Democratic controlled Congress? Oh wait a minute, that would be 9 percent...

So I'm assuming you have never done anything wrong....even at 19?

" "It was a youthful prank at the age of 19 and I regret it.""

From your same link....you left a little bit off to suit your own agenda.
