CNN's Paul Begala: Democrats don't have 'bad leaders,' they have 'bad followers'
Fox news ^ | 01/17/2022 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

CNN contributor Paul Begala went to bat for President Biden, making the case that the problem for Democrats isn't with those at the top of the party.

On the subject of Biden's failing efforts to get voting bills passed in Congress, Begala was asked to react to a quote from Arndrea Waters King, daughter-in-law to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who told Politico, "What we’ve seen with President Biden is what happens when he puts his full force and power behind an issue like infrastructure. What we want to see is that same power and passion being put behind voting rights."

Sounds like Bush League Republicans blaming conservatives when their Assistant Democrat candidate loses.

Mr. “Stroke of the pen, law of the land, pretty cool” has contempt for the governed?

Who knew?

Anyone who still supports the Democrat Party has a criminal heart.

The Forehead’s got the message down.

The elites are in the process of training all non-elites to heel and obey.

Disney and other media companies say the same thing when their woke shows/movie fail. If’s the fans’ fault. Doubling down on attacking their base, as usual.

The Forehead Down with Sabotage

Jun 30, 2011

RUSH: The Forehead, Paul Begala. Last night on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 32, the guest was The Forehead, Paul Begala, and during a discussion about the debt ceiling and the breakdown in federal budget negotiations, Begala said this…

BEGALA: (haltingly) We have debt CRISIS! The American economy is facing default! Republicans have got to agree to ask wealthy people and big corporations and big oil companies to pay a little bit more.

Until they’re ready to acknowledge the obvious, they’re gonna plunge this country… I — I — I worry that maybe they’re rooting for America to fail so that Obama can be defeated! I hate to think that.

RUSH: See? Did I not tell you this last week? I called it; I warned you about this. This is the tack: Republicans are sabotaging the economy. The Democrats are taking exactly what they are doing and projecting it onto Republicans. The economy is being sabotaged. Begala here, The Forehead here, this is just… You know, I’ve never met The Forehead.

I’ve had e-mail exchanges with the guy, and he’s Carville’s best buddy. He’s a mean guy, he’s a naturally angry guy, but he’s not stupid. He doesn’t really believe this “’til big corporations and oil companies pay a little bit more…” He’s just doing hackery there. He’s just doing hackism. He’s just spouting the Democrat Party line there. He knows that jet owners and big corporations or oil companies paying more are not gonna make a bit of difference whatsoever.

The Forehead is gonna get mad at me calling him smart, but so be it.

Damn,,,,I miss Rush!!!

Please Begala— do continue to “deplorablize” your own party voting masses. There are a LOT of democrats who are what is left of the olde party of conservative cultural views. Keep it up calling them not progressive enough to follow the likes of JoeBama,and Terry McAulliffe (grifter and bag man for the Clintons/Foundation). Begala is still on the Clinton payroll, btw, and now calling democrats who don’t follow their current line of bullcrap, “deplorables”. What an obvious paid mouth.

Begala, Clinton rat, aka The Forehead?! Of course when Dems see setbacks it is always the fault of the voters - they’re just not smart enough to understand their betters.

From the big swing away from the Dems that showed up in the recent Gallup Poll, it sounds like 'rat voters think their leaders are retards, as well.
