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]

CNN is a disgusting communist news network and James Carville should blow his brains out and save us the trouble.

Ask me how I really feel.

Romney reminds me of Michael Corleone at the baptism. Putting on the good guy act while his gang executes the hits he ordered.

Yeah, it’s good and he’s right.

I was over there trying to see if they had any opinion polls....and here I found a gem written by Carville, of all things.

Let me know your thoughts after you read.

I agree with you on CNN; however, they had better (more honest, unbelievably, than Faux News) on Colorado’s election night’s results....and this piece by Carville is spot on and deserving of attention, imo.

If gas is $5/gallon next labor day weekend, as it looks like it will be, we could beat Obama with any of our candidates especially considering the true employment situation in this country.

I agree; I read someone’s similar post earlier today (perhaps it was your own). It’s so true!

Very possible. Add to that the incensed Catholic vote.....as well as those democrat business owners, perhaps seeing for the first time, how bad Obama has been for themselves, personally, and our future.

This martian looking dunce makes me sick. He HATED Obama 4 years ago when he was supporting Hillary Clinton. Carville is a cajun from Louisiana and still despises Obama buts gets on national TV and defends him. The SOB also calls himself a Catholic but believes it’s OK to murder unborn children and for two men to get “married”. Carville makes me want to throw up every time I see him smirk and start laughing when he’s talking to a republican. And I am sick and damn tired of Carville and any other Obama-loving democrats saying that 98% of Catholic women take some type of birth control pill. Some damn number these idiots made up but they keep repeating it over and over on all over TV. Carville needs to crawl back under whatever rock he came from. He also needs to go back to Louisiana and tell the good ole boys what he really feels about Obama. He’s a two-faced hypocrite if there ever was one.

Yep; it’s good he indirectly pointed that out, too.

I just thought this was the best thing I’ve ever seen him write (so unbelievable to say that about him LOL).

That may all be true, but this particular article is spot on about the GOP-e and what they’ve done to Newt. And hinting at what they may have yet to fear from him because of what they’ve done.

He’s also accurate in his surmising Romney’s flaws.

IMHO, he’s made numerous valid points and observations, and the object of his scorn is the GOP-e, deservedly.

The stuck on stupid PROUD - GOP establishment are deaf, dumb, and blind. They are toooo busy courting those ‘independents’. But I am not going to let ‘serpent head’ get off on necklacing the TARP upon Bush alone... But Bush basically turned over the domestic affairs to PROUD liberalism. He did have a ‘war’ to accomplish and so his trade off was to let the liberals have their way with him.

Things look bleak for Mitt Romney. It is a long hard road to win the 1,000 plus delegates. LOL at Carville is right...I can just envision him going on...lol I think I saw him on Swamp People the other night:)

Un-frikken-believable but Rasmussen has Bam’s daily approval rating at only -10. It’s been between -15 and -20 for over a year!

WTH? Don’t count on the gas prices affecting the drones who vote Democrat. They give new meaning to the word stupid.

Yep; what Bush did his last few years in office....I take issue with much of it. He oversaw what Bernanke and Hank Paulson were doing, what the SEC was doing (and not doing)....I cannot forgive him for these things. That’s about all I’ll say about that.

James Carville wrote an accurate article.

In essence, the GOP and it's past voters this election have attempted to kill the only Republican that can win, Gingrich.

The most salient attribute of this article is the fact he can scorn us...tell us how we screwed up...signal every move in advance, and then make it all come true.

If any candidate besides Gingrich ( or Paul?) gets nominated, the GOP will lose in a LANDSLIDE.

LANDSLIDE!
