Rove Coming to ABQ for Heather Wilson?

The local scuttlebutt is that Karl (Bush's Brain) Rove will be stumping in Albuquerque for Republican incumbent Rep. Heather Wilson's campaign (NM-01). He's rumored to be visiting Wilson's campaign headquarters for a fundraiser and more sometime during the morning of this coming Saturday. Does this mean the Repubs are scared to death that Democratic challenger Patricia Madrid will win this congressional race? Damn right it does.

All poll results released to date have shown what amounts to a dead heat between the candidates, and it can't help that practically every day's news cycle means more bad news for Bush and his rubber stamps like Heather. A fake Republican "compromise" on torture. A powerful condemnation of Bush's Iraq War and its detrimental affects on terror by the national intelligence estimate prepared by our 16 top intelligence agencies. Yesterday's blunt and incredibly negative assessments of Rumsfeld's management of the Iraq occupation by just-retired field generals who served there.

Almost daily stories like these are destroying whatever was left of the credibility of Bush and his supporters in terms of being "strong on national defense." The truly misbegotten nature of this administration and its congressional apologists and protectors is becoming more clearly documented and delineated with each revelation of the facts.

As for Wilson's repetitive claim that she's "independent" of Bush, another visit from Karl Rove -- the sleazy operative who plots every move Bush and the right-wing Republicans make -- pretty much puts the lie to that assertion. It's apparent that the Bush machine is monitoring and manipulating Wilson's campaign just as it manipulates the actions of all of the Bush clones like her in the halls of Congress.

The Bush Republican Party operates from the top down. Orders come from on high -- from Rove's operation in the White House. Candidates and elected officials listen, or else. And the orders are almost always to hit back at facts with slimy accusations and personal insults, even if they're lies and distortions. The dishonest and deviously immoral mind of Rove is being put to full use in Wilson's corner. What does that tell you about the ethics of Wilson herself?

I'll keep you posted when I learn more about Rove's visit. If you hear anything out there, let me know and maybe we can get some people out there to "welcome" him. Wilson's campaign office is located at 6001 San Mateo NE, Suite B (near Osuna) in Albuquerque.
