Political strategist James Carville believes the Democratic Party "has a disease" that must be rectified – and soon – if the party has a chance of gaining back the White House or the Congress.

Or they could just go ahead and become extinct.

Democrats have a disease alright. It's called Hate America. And apologize to every enemy we've ever had.

>>Salaries for members of Congress should be $350,000<<

Actually, it should be $25,000 a year.

Liberalism is the disease, Carvile.

Easily enough said, but Dems. are too addicted to liberal special interest money. No one else will pay Dems. for expensive election campaigns - savvy businessmen don't support losers for long.

Everyone but the media and the liberals themselves can see that the media and the liberals are actually the problem. It would be hilarious, except that without a viable Democrat party, when W ignores our borders conservatives are left with few options.

[Carville] says, the "central Democratic problem is that we lack a narrative."

And lo, they went about their lives in impotent fury, because they were without power to alter their dismal futures or embitter anyone else's.
There's their narrative.

"See, Bush says, 'I was a shiftless drunk, I was transformed by the power of Jesus Christ, I was further transformed by 9/11 and I will protect you from the terrorists in Tehran and the homos in Hollywood.' And he sticks with it!"

No matter how much frosting they put on top,their cake is still made of s##t.
They have a malevolence inside that will always slip out.

"The problem is not that the Democrats don't have any ideas," Carville candidly admits. "They got too many ideas."

Wrong again, James - the problem isn't whether the Demagogues have so many or so few ideas, it's that they have so many BAD ideas. All they can try for is to re-warm socialism while whining and bleating that they are being misunderstood. The reason nearly every national 'Rat candidate from Dukakis to the present has fled frantically (and dishonestly) from the "liberal" label is that (1) the Demagogues represent a leveling, egalitarian, interventionist radicalism which will not "sell" to the American majority; (2) a solid majority of the country consistently rejects their socialist ideas, and the 'Rats can only succeed when they are able (with plenty of MSM collaboration) to present false fronts to the public.

Yeah, their disease is actually a psychosis. They're right; everybody else is wrong. They're going to take control and force themselves down our throats.

If anything, the real value of this is it probably does reveal what Hitlery's strategy will be for 2008.

"But where I do break is that I'm completely pro-gay. Why do I care? It doesn't mean a rat's ass to me."

It seems to me that it affects a lot of DemonRAT'S asses.....just ask Barney Frank.

Carville is exactly right. Read what he says..he makes a coherent argument which is why the democRATS base will never listen to him.

""Remainderists are people who say that if you hate them [the GOP] enough then we're what remains and then people will vote for us and then we can have our people at the Capital Grill (a popular power restaurant a few blocks from the Capitol Building). And then we can get more golf trips and bigger steaks."

All too often, the old-time GOP acts/feels/votes/talks the same way.

Think Bob Dole, Denny Hastert, Trent Lott - ANYone who was in Congress before '94.
