Carville: GOP, your real problem is Mitt
CNN ^ | 2/10/2012 | James Carville

Posted on 02/10/2012 9:09:35 PM PST by nicmarlo

Memo to the Republican Establishment, Part II.

First of all, let me apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I realize it's been 15 days since I've penned (as the Mittster would say) my last memo to you. . . . Good manners dictate that I convey my most heartfelt congratulations to you for what you did to old Newt in your aggressive ad campaign. I mean, you guys really did him in. As we say in Louisiana, you made minced meat out of that boy.

You rounded up a bunch of Wall Street money and turned it over to the Willie Horton ad guy to destroy one of your own. You boys really crack me up . . . I don't think we Democrats could come up with something quite so clever. You have accomplished quite a feat.

The problem that you have now is not Newt. It may take a few months, but you will get him under control. Your in-house network -- the boys over at Fox . . . thought they had wired Newt up to go positive, but they found out it is difficult to control a Tulane man. Don't worry, he just got sucker punched. Soon enough he and all of his "baggage" will be sent packing. . . .

You know how it goes, you squish one gnat and you gotta deal with another. Your latest nuisance comes in the form of an anti-contraception activist and 18-point loser, Rick Santorum. . . . I know you don't need my help in disposing of this loser.

The problem you have now is the same problem you've had all along. It's the Mittster -- and it's a big problem. . . . [snip]

Yes, and Rush has said the Occupy Movement was formed and promoted with him in mind... sort of the prelude to the 1% candidate... against the 99%.

And with mormonism, they have a very controversial belief system that i am sure will be examined in detail, and then the racial component of the mormon church on blacks until a couple decades ago.

So in romney, they get the super rich, white guy, with offshore investments, who belongs to a crazy church that used to hates blacks, and says stuff like I hate to fire people... almost made to order... if you are a dem.

It seems stunningly foolish that the GOP-e would have decided to back Romney or it is a very cunning game of deception.

If we get a brokered with Jeb-- I'd say we have been had.

IF Mitt buys the nomination, I expect to hear repeatedly in his own words, "I do not care about the very poor," Mitt will have to spend millions saying, but I said they have a safety net.

And with mormonism, they have a very controversial belief system that i am sure will be examined in detail, and then the racial component of the mormon church on blacks until a couple decades ago.

Isn't Harry Reid a Mormon.. Now some 'super' pac might hurl boulders about the religion, but I do not see Obama himself touching the subject.

Well for some convoluted reason the PROUD GOP Establishment are obsessed in courting those so called 'independents'... And the way Romney's campaign is set up it actually appears he is attempting to court the 1% that helped Obama bundle his way to the White House.

Romney reminds me of Bill Clinton.

At the funeral. When he as laughing until he noticed the television camera.

Then he cried on que.

That is Romney. Romney is a liar, and Romney hates puppy dogs.

Shame on Romney.

Yesterday I just said the exact same thing to a friend who is agonizing everyday about the election. I told him to take a nap till September.

that’s kinda what I’m thinking Carville’s thinking. He knows Newt’s a not just a historian, but also resourceful with his knowledge. “Get my drift?” :p

it is difficult to control a Tulane man

Interesting. Isn't Andrew Breitbart a Tulane alum?

Yeah, but remember in NH when Willard rammed Newt and Santorum for trying to play the “politics of envy” by talking about his Bain experience -

And the next day, on one of the a.m. shows, he was asked about his “politics of envy” statement...and the reporter dolt asked him if talking about things like wealth redistribution was the “politics of envy” and Mitt said, ‘things like that and tax policy should be discussed in quiet rooms...’

And I just think that term “quiet rooms” is a little bit weird, you don’t hear it often, and then Carville specifically uses that phrase... quiet rooms where wealth distribution and tax policy and politics of envy should be discussed...

Carville: the man who said after the 2008 elections that the Dems should control for the next 40 years. He just didn’t figure on an inept president and elections in 2020.

Argh. It's an ugly thing to get schooled by James Carville, but WE KNEW we were getting kicked in the teeth by Romney.

Too bad our "friends" in the Republican establishment can't figure it out.

I knew Carville was referring to Newt. I just thought it was interesting that Carville’s remark would also apply to Breitbart.

I bet Carville is laughing at them, knowing that they know he’s right.

They’ll never admit it. They’re too arrogant and hell bent on their personal prizes, whatever they are, to care about what’s best for this Country and People.

Wow. Can you imagine Judgement Day when they have their Maker to face....the Creator who put them in power and made them leaders of the Free World....and be told by Him that the only reason He put them in their roles was to make a choice: to honor their oath when they swore to God that they would obey the Constitution and do what was best for our Country and People yet have to admit they made the choice, instead, to do what was best for “Me, Me, Me”?

I sure wouldn’t want to be one of them.

good point... I am probably being paranoid again, but Breitbart had dinner with Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers last week... Tucker Carlson had won an auction for dinner with them, and he gave one ticket to Breitbart... and today at CPAC in his speech, Breitbart said he had college videos of barack that would surface in the fall, a week after that dinner. And ayers is said to be disappointed with barack and ready to move on...

I do not know where Breitbart graduated from (I tried doing a google search but wasn’t coming up with anything).
