Bush: Stop Flip-Flopping and Fire Karl Rove

Target: President George Bush
Sponsored by: Jeffrey Marks

Is this how Karl Rove feels about our national security? President Bush: Fire Karl Rove.
June 2004: When asked if he would fire anyone found responsible for leaking the name of undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame to the press, President Bush says "yes."

July 2005: Talk about flip-flops. Now that Bush's right-hand man Karl Rove has been fingered as the secret source, the Bush administration is stonewalling and refusing to answer questions about whether or not he will fire Rove if found to be guilty.

The evidence is mounting that White House advisor Rove may be the secret source who exposed the identity of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame two years ago in a blatant act of political retaliation for her husband's editorial criticizing the administration's justifications for going to war in Iraq. Rove's own lawyer confirmed to Newsweek magazine that Rove was the secret source named in reporter Matthew Cooper's notes.

It's time to stop the lies and end the cover-up. President Bush, it's time to fire Karl Rove.

Dear President Bush:

In June 2004, you promised to fire anyone found responsible for leaking the identity of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame to the press. Such a leak is a serious breach of national security and possibly a felony.

The evidence is mounting and the case is becoming increasingly clear: the person responsible for this outrageous leak is your own advisor, Karl Rove.

Mr. President, I urge you, in the name of national security, to keep your promise and fire Karl Rove.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
We signed the “Bush: Stop Flip-Flopping and Fire Karl Rove” petition!

Karl Rove should be fired for turning his back on America in a time of war.

Yes... let's not only fire the traitor (revealing the identity of a CIA agent in a time of war is treason) but also try this man for what he is, a traitor. Then we can put Mr. Rumsfeld on trial for his hand in the torture of prisoners, and they step down yourself, Mr. Bush, and relieve the world of what has become the most corrupt and crooked administration possibly in this nation's history, because you would be next.

If you believe in Democracy, you will fire this guy. Everything he has done has been against Democracy and pro an elite government. Everything from intimidation of "whistle blowers," to strategizing on the best way to attract the evangelical vote. Criminal!!!

Bush said he would fire anyone connected to this breach of national security. It is obvious Rove leaked information. Stay true to your word, Mr. Bush. Fire Karl Rove.

Although he's just one of the many corrupt people who make up your administration designed to undermine democracy and set our country on a deadly course against the rest of the world, I implore you to PROVE you have the wonderful Christian ethics you love to TALK about and prosecute Rove and all the others who have dirtied the name "American."

He has gone too far. Time and time again he is making a mockery of America. Human life should not be put in harm's way due to this man's pursuit of who-knows-what. This activity, and lying about it, is treason. Is treason still punishable by death? President Bush, stick to your word and fire the person responsible for betraying fellow Americans. Then allow him to be tried as a traitor.

You surround yourself with idiots...you are in good company. Is it any wonder this country is going to hell in a hand-basket. If you think the U.S. still reigns supreme...you are in for a big awakening.

How far are you going to allow Rove to go? He plays politics without regard for human life or national security. Is this how you think also?

Rove should have been fired a long time ago. This is your chance to do so and if you allow it to go by without acting you are only opening the door wider for him to do worse.

Yes, please do fire him. Karl Rove is a vile political assassin - his one aim in working for this administration has been to eliminate the opposition, and quite often in less than scrupulous ways. Anyone with half a sense for people has for many years shuddered with disgust and contempt at the name Karl Rove and the news of this underhanded act is simply the vindication of a terrible feeling in the belly of the American public. He deserves to be sent home with his tail between his legs and a black mark on his name.

It appears, through your inactivity on this matter Mr. Bush, that you are in agreement with the underhanded tacticts of Mr Rove -

As the evidence mounts, it becomes clear that Karl Rove's single-minded pursuit of his agenda respects no person or legal convention. This man has, by his actions, undermined national security. He must be fired immediately.

He should have to account for his actions. Isn't this treason? What kind of a person does this to someone helping protect this country? Of course he should be fired and he should be in jail too!
