Liberal political consultant James Carville sent a fundraising email to supporters of upstate New York congresswoman Louise Slaughter entitled “The Tea Party is Over.” In the email, Mr. Carville claimed the Tea Party isn’t entirely finished, but he said they can be eliminated by donating to “proud Democrats like Louise Slaughter.”
“These Tea Party Republicans have worn out their welcome. But I’m telling you — getting rid of ‘em won’t be easy. They’re not leaving on their own. We’re going to have to boot them out the door like unwanted house guests,” Mr. Carville wrote. “That’s why we’ve got to get behind proud Democrats like Louise Slaughter to make sure we can win a Democratic Majority.”
Mr. Carville pointed to the conservative mega donors Sheldon Adelson and the Koch brothers as evidence Democrats need to open their wallets if they want to take out the Tea Party and win a majority in Congress.
“With the Koch boys, Mr. Rove and a Fat Cat Las Vegas casino mogul writing multi-million dollar checks to try and buy this election, it’s going to take every last one of us kicking in what we can to make sure we reelect good folks like Louise and win a Democratic Majority,” Mr. Carville wrote.
Ms. Slaughter is facing a challenge from Republican Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks. Ms. Slaughter currently has $670,189 cash on hand compared to Ms. Brooks’ $367,583. Despite Ms. Slaughter’s financial advantage, Ms. Brooks is seen as a formidable candidate and is rather popular in the district, which is favorable to Democrats, but grew more Republican through redistricting.
“They’re not leaving on their own.”
James. We’re not leaving period.
Live free or die!
You guys have no idea what you’re talking about. The tea party people, like myself, did not go away. We got involved in the Republican party and are running for office this year. We do things the correct way. We learned the system, and now are using it to our advantage.. If you think yelling and screaming and going to rallies was ever going to do anything, you’re wrong.
“Did Carville write this, or the RNC?”
Doesn’t matter. The Tea Party has pulled a chair up to the table and is staring both of them down. We’re not going anywhere.
They want the Tea Party gone, bring it on!
Snakehead does know much better.
If he thinks the Tea Party is over,
why is he using the Tea Party to fund raise?
Hey Snakehead, spend more time with your family.
Your predictions are always wrong.
For the Tea Party to be over, the American Revolution would have to be over.
And it ain’t.
Wake up America: Obama is a communist and so are his “Marxist” comrades.
The Central Bankers own the globe. Did CNBC accidentally give it away?

That is Senator Blutarski to you, pal!
Self Delusional Democrats are Self Delusional.
The left is the most entertaining whenever their political predictions are way off. Unfortunately, the left has, already, won the race for ‘12 POTUS, and nobody has, officially, voted, yet!
bfl
That’s what the British said, oh bald one!
James Carville is over.
Is he still looking for the precious?
Why do they quote this jerk every time he farts?
He and his ilk are in for a big spanking come November.
The tea party is STILL ALIVE, but working behind the scenes.
As I said, the TP now is working behind the scene to get elected.
The REAL reason for Carville to go after the Tea Party.
The Dhims are low on cash.
Here's a clue Snakehead, when people are out of work, they CAN'T contribute.
James is speaking from the only reality he knows. The same one that Pelosi, Reid and Obama live in. They really believe we are gone....in their parallel universe. We are truly in the beginning, not the end.

Out his butt I presume?
If the Tea Party is over, ya got nothing to worry about. Don't even bother to campaign, y'all got it in the bag. :)
Democratic strategist James Carville reacts to the 2002 midterm election results by placing a garbage can over his head.
Over?! We just got a bucket full of incentive. Those words, Mr. Carville, you will eat.
