Flashback: Carville Wanted Bush to Fail
Fox News ^ | 3/11/2009 | Bill Sammon

Posted on 03/11/2009 9:57:28 AM PDT by Notwithstanding

The press never reported that Democratic strategist James Carville said he wanted President Bush to fail before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But a feeding frenzy ensued when radio host Rush Limbaugh recently said he wanted President Obama to fail.

Of course he wanted Bush to fail in his efforts to exterminate Carville’s alien species, which came here to take us over and eat us. I don’t see the controversy!

sniff...sniff...Is that hypocrisy being carried on the wind?

Why yes, I believe it is...
The Glaring Hypocrisy of the Rush Critics, Cont'd
Last week, amid the Rush Limbaugh “I hope Obama fails” hub-bub, a number of curious conservo-bloggers dug up from the archives a telling NY Post article about a poll showing most members of the president’s opposing party wanted him to fail.

Rush is an entertainer-—no different than the late night hosts and SNL skits. Recently, didn’t SNL do a skit that implied that tax-cheat Geitner might be failing at his job? What entertainers do is make jokes about or parody attitudes that are present in their audiences. They are reflecting the current mood of people. All Rush is doing is expressing what many of us are thinking. We don’t want him to succeed—why would we? We didn’t vote for him because we thought he would fail. No one likes to be proven wrong, so we hope he fails. This isn’t news...it’s as old as comedy itself.

Ole Serpent Head ***** up again. This guy is no political genius like the MSM would have us believe. Either is Karl Rove really. They both got lucky at one time or another.

All this from an entertainer-a song and dance man-all I see is Carville being incendiary and ugly.

Well, I never thought it was a good idea for a brother and his sister to marry and have kids.

But, evidently Carville’s parents did so anyway......

“Why is this news?”

Because the Serpent has been howling like a stuck pig since Rush has said he hopes Obama’s policies will fail, and the left has amnesia about the way they treated GW from the day after the Nov 2000 election.

Reciprocity. Ita a biatch.LOL.

Obama's consequences of not failing are far more comprehensive than Bush's.

Bush did not fail in his WOT. But he was foreced in his second term to drink the RINO cool aid on doomestic issues, and so ini that arena he did fail, it was a trade off to keep his WOT program intact.

And so now we see the dem fruition of such liberal left RINO in aid , wing nut foolishness, a poisoned world economy.

Having taken our wallets, and our daughters ( single moms are just GREAT), the libs will soon come for our dogs ( no pit bulls allowed) and guns. And in that they will fail.

And now Obama is trying to undo the freedom of Iraq, which was earned with a full sacrifice of American blood.

Eff 'em. The Obama left are idiocy personified.

Reciprocity for Obama. You BETCHA!

Will WILL retake the domestic agenda.

Me either. But then she helped him reproduce!

Since she decided to sleep with the enemy, I change the channel whenever I see her.

I am not interested in what she has to say. She made her choice.

I made mine.

HILLARY CLINTON on April 28th, 2003:

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, we are Americans, and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!”

I always knew this was a phony story. Let’s face it. This is a derivative of ‘white guilt’. How dare we privileged white people who have exploited people of color for centuries not have the proper noblesse oblige to wish the Messiah well and question his ability to govern or his motives in his decisions. If there is any fallout from the Messiah’s policies we deserve it. it’s all whitey’s fault. Obama is blameless.
