Dowd is second only to Rove ... pouring a poison into our democratic process

james moore isn't impressed in the least by dowd's defection...

Dowd's attempt to portray himself as a victim of a betrayal is nonsense. He knew as well as anyone who Karl Rove and George Bush were and what was driving their vision and bipartisan cooperation was not a part of the tapestry of the tragic they were about to weave. Bush had things to prove to his father. Rove wanted political power. McKinnon wanted money and fame. And Dowd was central to all of their goals. Dowd was Rove's chief lieutenant, in fact his only one, who helped Bush's Brain exploit polarization of the country for political gain. Dowd's insight was crucial in red flagging the shrinking group of independent voters and he helped create and then sharpen the wedges that Rove used to divide both the electorate and the country. Dowd is second only to Rove as a master technician pouring a poison into our democratic process.

after posting earlier today on pachacutec's comments (also on huffpo), i'm in total agreement... if dowd REALLY wants to make amends, he ought to volunteer to lead the charge to get those goddam criminals the hell OUT of the white house before they can do any more damage than they've already done...

A word to Matthew Dowd and other defectors

pachacutec, posting at huffpo, makes a terrific point that had simply not occurred to me...

The people you joined up with have had the very agenda you abetted since at least the days of Nixon, and unless we rid our public life of them, they'll be back again. You were an insider. Start talking about what you know. Grab your knife and start the stabbing. That's how you can restore some balance, wanker.

makes perfect sense to me... it's imperative that we rid our country of these destructive criminals and who better to help lead the charge...?
