I shouldn't laugh--but if anyone deserves to be treated in an undignified and disrespectful way, it's The Con-ald.

IDK why this go-along, get-along, dixiecrat is still on the national stage.

But I don't remember Carville having this attitude. Rahm Emanuel, yes, and he certainly had the Clinton's ears. And unfortunately, Obama's in the early days.

Michael Moore sent an ex-KGB agent to "search for the heart and soul" of the Democratic Party. That segment closed with Carville talking to a Democratic Party meeting where he said something along the lines of "in order to get elected now(this was during newt gingrich's congress) Democrats need to sound like republicans."

There were a lot of Democratic Party members who shared this belief, that we should surrender framing issues to republicans and just say "me too". It had some very limited success in deep red states but didn't do well elsewhere. In fact since this idea was adopted, we've lost more seats in the House and Senate than we've won. Unfortunately where it succeeded we often ended up with Democrats that sided with republicans when we really needed their votes.

it-TAX ON BILLIONAIRES. marriage penalty becomes-YUPPIE TAX. less WORDY.

That wouldn't be considered "sounding like a republican". If he were to talk about taxes(at the time, I pretty much ignore him these days), he would not say anything about taxing billionaires, he would say something like: "yes taxes are to high, but we need to make sure that those tax cuts create jobs for Americans". Preemptively surrendering to the republican idea that taxes are too high, essentially saying that the gop is right about the economy while shutting out traditional Democratic positions.

To be fair, the Democratic Party was terrified by reagan's victory and gingrich's continued success attacking liberals(really anything that the republicans didn't invent), and thought that they needed to dump all that hippy equality crap and do whatever it took to win elections. They've been running scared policy-wise and legislatively ever since. Carville himself will throw out some red meat to liberals on occasion, but if you follow his results, they aren't progressive/liberal.

Let me tell ya this:

He's not a dixiecrat. You might want to look that definition up.

Also, bless your heart.

...that's dixiecrat enough for me.

Right back at ya!

have a nice night.

Your posts in this thread appear rather heavy on allegations, yet dramatically light on supporting evidence.

Buy it watch it and get back to me.

Just started reading it.

quoting from his 6th grade teacher talking about someone who'd been the cause of an injustice.

One of the next segments was about Rudy Giuliani lacerating Hillary and blaming her for everything short of 9/11, Pearl Harbor, the polio epidemic of old, and New Coke. I immediately thought - "hmmm... guess we know who's going to Hell this time!"

That cover looks like something EarlG would cook up.

On gerrymandering and the Republican US House:

"When someone asks me, what can I do to help the Democratic Party, my answer is move."

From this oldie but goodie!

We're Still Right, They're Still Wrong: The Democrats' Case for 2016 on Amazon

I'd wait for the Audible version if Carville had narrated the whole thing.

With Carville narrating, it could take double that amount of time.

I wonder if Barnes and noble will display it?

. . .and savoring the pages.

There's a recipe inside for:
"The Republican Party's Dazzling Red Punch: Let's Toast To The End Of The GOP"
(involving Veuve Clicquot champagne)
". . .Set bowl out of reach of children and orange-faced tiny-handed partygoers. . ."

Go James Carville!!!!

Still got that dem fire in his belly it seems!

"When your opponent is drowning, throw the motherfucker an anvil".

I hope the Clinton campaign is listening to it

Is the elephant giving birth to Trump or excreting him? It works either way.
