Carville doesn’t speak for the Clintons, but he speaks to the Clintons. So spending some time with him can give you a sense of what’s going on within that brain trust as they plot to retake control of the Democratic Party and the White House. Even Carville’s promotional rat-a-tat about the movie he’s involved with -– a remake of “All the King’s Men” -– is revealing in a way. Here’s some of what he had to say, and my translation from the Cajun:
1) “The American people are going to be ready for an era of realism. They’ve seen the consequences of having too many ‘big ideas.’"
TRANSLATION: As Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton looks for a basic sales pitch after what is likely to be a sweeping reelection victory in her New York Senate race this fall, she’s going to play a part that comes naturally to her: hard-eyed realist in a world of dreamers. It’s true that her political heart was ignited as a teenager by a crusading Methodist preacher. It’s true that Hillary Healthcare was a political disaster. Still, the pitch will go, she knows how to get things done.
She’s the one who kept her family together –- its finances, its marriage, most of its parenting function -– and that is the role she will cast herself in as she tries to win the White House. After eight years of what she will call the perhaps worthy but disastrously administered dreams of George Bush, it’s time to restore some discipline. Think of the iron-willed mom in “Malcolm in the Middle.”

Where's the puking guy picture.....sheesh.
TRANSLATION: Ideas! Pfffft, who needs 'em!
an era of realism? WTF?
This from a woman who pretends to be married to her husband?
Yeah, that's really what we're all looking for: some screeching old (and I'm older than she is) woman telling us what's good for us. Right.
That's like the captain of the Titanic running on his seamanship.
The only way I'd vote for her is if she got a cankle-ectomy.

I was at church this Sunday and there was a college student who told me she wasn't seeing united 93 because she wasn't sure people were "ready". Recognizing her as someone who has been indoctrinated by liberal dogma, I pressed her further.
She told me, "we need to stop worrying about Iraq and start spending time at home figuring how to make people's lives better."
That's Carville's line right there, and no one's put it in her. One of the great gift of successful people is to see a wave before it comes and capitalize on it and make it their own.
I've just vomited all over my monitor and keyboard....... :^(
How bout:
Hillary: "Putting the c*nt back into our country"
Carville actually has come up with a smart way to try and market her.
Don't underestimate the abilities of the best liars.
Carvile will not go away. He even brings down Israeli politicians! As for Hatellary Rodhamster, if there is an overwhelming Republican majority in the House and Senate, I'm beginning to think it would be a good thing to have such a sickening lying liberal democrat in the WhiteWhore House (and that's what her degenerate hubby will make it again when she moves into OUR White House). Apparently the only way Pubbies will get the message that the conservative base should not be taken for granted is for us to stay home and allow the degenerate, demonically driven democrats to retake the White House; with a Republican majority in House and Senate the fool Republicans will turn to appealing to their base when confronting the Devious Queen of Liberalism.

I always figured Hillary Clinton entering a church would cause some sort of metaphysical rip in the universe ... or at least something really creepy like out of one of the "Omen" movies.
Thus in 1984 and 1988 the voters knew things were pretty good. They voted for the status quo... things were good .. don;t change things.
But by 1992 things, especially the economy, were not so good. So they voted for the candidate that promised change. They wanted the economy fixed. Bush 41 knew things were soon going to be great and proposed no change. It cost him the election. Clinton said its the economy stupid and won.
The economy was good when HIllary care hit congress and the people rejected it. Why? Things are good don't change anything was the public reaction. Clinton wised up by 1996 and did not propose change. From 1996 until 2000 Clinton did nothing (except Monica) and did it better than anybody.
The stupid thing for Gore was he proposed change. He wanted to go green green green and promoted earth in the balance. If he had run on "I can do nothing better than Clinton." he would have won.
By 2008 there will not be a lot of problems on the table. Today the Democrats are trying to work up problems so they can be elected to fix them. However, they don't propose ways to fix them.. they just try to hype problems.
That does not work. If the Democrats scream problems but offer no way to fix them and Republicans do.. then Republicans win. In 1936 the economy was no better than the disaster it was in 1932. The Republicans pointed out the problems but offered no solutions. The Democrats offered more of the fix that had not yet worked. But they were the only ones offering a fix.. so they won.
Over and over again in our history it has proven to be true that when times are good offer to do nothing.. when times are not good offer a plan to fix the times or fix the threat to our security.
That is about all there is to winning elections for president. But men like Carvile rarely figure it out.
Semenship...there I fixed it.
"Carville doesn’t speak for the Clintons"
