Rove warns GOP sleaze (Abramoff) could cost them power

Rove said the party needed to learn from the Democrats that it could lose its dominant status "when political power becomes an end in itself".

Mr Rove helped scupper Senator McCain's chances of becoming the Republican presidential candidate by fighting a dirty war against him.

Rumours surfaced that McCain, a war hero who was imprisoned during the Vietnam war, had fathered an illegitimate black child and later he was denounced as the "fag" candidate when he met a group of gay Republicans. (sleaze works)

In Congress, Rove is leading his party's efforts to get out of a mire over lobbying and corruption after Jack Abramoff was indicted for attempting to bribe politicians.

Rove talking points for 2006 elections, like 2004 election willagain be remember 9-11 and the current war on terror.
