If the withdrawal of Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava in Upstate New York will make the race tougher for Democrats to win, they don't seem too upset about it. In fact, they're reveling in the news.
"I have an announcement to make. Ronald Reagans big tent just collapsed in Upstate New York. It no longer exists," Democratic strategist James Carville said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."
Carville said the message from the NY-23 race is "if you're not our definition--if youre not a Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin directive of what constitutes a Republican, if you dont check the necessary boxes, then theyre going to primary you .People have said this for a long time this is the kind of party they wanted, they now have it."
"I think somebody can go pick the tent up and throw it out in lake Ontario somewhere, because it dont exist no more," Carville said.
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.
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.
"He wants the precious. Always he is looking for it. And the precious is wanting to go back to him... But we mustn't let him have it!"
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!
Wasn’t a drunkin Carvill charged with exposing himself to interns or something like that?
Who listens to this fruitcake anyway, besides other fruitcakes?
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?
Maybe James you Dems might learn a lesson. It is possible for a political tent to be too big.
Right, how can you throw something that doesn't exist "no mo'" into the lake? Psycho...
James Carville supports pollution! Advocates throwing trash into Lake Ontario!!!
The tent should have been burned with all the RINOs inside it long ago.
Please don’t throw me in that there briar patch.
