Reagan’s big tent included conservatives, unlike today’s GOP which wants to exclude us. Scuzzy’s platform didn’t include one conservative idea - she is a left winger down the line.

"...if you don’t check the necessary boxes, then they’re going to primary you..."--Carville

I never have really understood why Socialists and the new millennium democrat think in the way they do. I don't think I really want to scar my soul with that type of thinking, but every once in a while they will make a statement manifesting their thinking processes and how they are truly scarred in their approach of fundamentals.

In the above quote, we find the perspective of the socialist democrat who is the furthest from thinking as a true Democrat as is possible. He places the primary as a context for removing power in a negative adversarial attack, instead of the primary as a mechanism selecting candidates by popular public support amongst an educated voting base.

There is something indicative of a person who thinks in a most unAmerican fashion, expressing the primary system in such antagonistic and adversarial approach.

IMHO, such quotes manifest more about today's unfaithful democratic socialist thinking than nearly anything else he may have expressed.

ROFLOL! Carville is projecting what he wants right now not what the truth is. Truth is that when republican’s run consevative candidates they win therefore democrats want us to run rhinos so they can win.The should be scared conservatives tend to reverse what the liberals hold dear. Now if we could only find one brave enough to tell the people the truth, that we are broke and all of us are going to have to take a cut to out promised benefits.No more free ride for welfare recipients, current social security benefits frozen for as many years as it needs to be,future social security recipients need to be older when collecting and also will take cuts, and whatever else needs to be done to get us back to being solvent!

I don't think they're ‘reveling’ in it at all. I think they're scared to death at a resurgence of Conservative power, a power which Reagan used to destroy them twice at the ballot box.

Wasn’t a drunkin Carvill charged with exposing himself to interns or something like that?

Who listens to this fruitcake anyway, besides other fruitcakes?

What is that I smell from the ugly mutant..I smell FEAR

I don't think people really "get" Carville.

He's just an opportunist. Situation like this don't matter to him, one way or the other (let alone create "fear") because the only personal stake he has in them is getting his name and comments in the media so he can leverage his popularity to make $$$.

Why do we care what Carville says? I am much more interested in Palin, Rush, Glen, and others - as I know that they want conservatives to WIN.

Notice that old Golem here highlights the big three whom the Rats are most frightened of, and it ain’t Romney, Pawlenty, and Huck.

He lies because Regan was not a liberal. This new movement will spread though the country and take down the corrupt government “leaders” and have an effect all the way to the white house. The liberal tent is the one that is coming down. Even the polls show the growing Conservative movement and the shrinking liberal movement. Even the lies will not work.

When the RATS have suffered a few 10 to 1 defeats will they wake up?

Moderate Republicans are one thing. The problem here is that the lovely Ms. Scozzafava had problems hopping over even that low bar.

This absurd nonsense from a rabid shill for the Party that appointed a self avowed Communist to be a White House Czar?

Maybe James you Dems might learn a lesson. It is possible for a political tent to be too big.

"I think somebody can go pick the tent up and throw it out in lake Ontario somewhere, because it don’t exist no more," Carville said.

Right, how can you throw something that doesn't exist "no mo'" into the lake? Psycho...

The tent should have been burned with all the RINOs inside it long ago.

We should listen to Snakehead because he has the best interests of conservatives at heart and wants to see us win as many elections as possible.
