Well, thats all well and fine, but still a pretty fuckin retarded notion. I don't see alot of folks of colour that are going to go flopping like fish on deadliest catch for Romney or Bachmann or whoeverthefuck the republican nominee is given the scumbucketry of the teabaggers rhetoric.

I'm guessing not so many. First, to break it down by race just illustrates your racism. Second, this is a bullshit Fox News talking point which seems to be your only source of information. Third, what should he have done better?

Its not racism. Its a fact. No they won't vote for the republican nominee, they just won't show up in the huge numbers as they did in 2008. They will just stay home.

Pardon me, but I could give a flying fuck about the political connotations Ron is bringing up here... I am correcting his use of maritime reality shows as a metaphor. [:D]

So, hes voted in with lackluster numbers, as opposed to any teabagger or rino or whatever you want to call the republican nominees that will be garnering their home state (and that is gonna be iffy).

servantforuse -> RE: James Carville on Obama (9/16/2011 11:07:28 AM)
Rule, I certainly know that Carville is liberal. He worked for Bill Clinton. He was his campaign advisor in the 1992 election. When the republicans took control of the House in 1994, he advised Clinton to move to the middle or risk losing the 1996 election.

Obama will listen to no one, and will not be re elected because of it. Funny that the one thing Mr. Obama has been accused of doing wrong, is actually being bipartisan. If he kept his bill on health care without 'watering' it down to aplease the conservatives, we would have a much better engineered health industry right now. But, he did not go down the path of 'full speed ahead, the torpedoes be damned!". He has really tried to keep the county from splitting into two polarized ideas on how this country should be run. I disagree with his notion on this. But the guy has the history correct and I can understand why he decided on this course of action. Its rather disappointing that so many conservatives have absolutely failed to understand his reasoning on this particular issue. How many of the Republican/Tea Party folks in the House and Senate are willing to work on improving the nation with Democrats? How many of the candidates for the GOP ticket have expressed an honest willingness to work and comprise with Democrats to get the nation on its feet? Even if it might cost them their next election? Wasn't the a major thrust of the mid-term election of 2010; to remove career politicians that dont care what's best for the nation, but only themselves?

mnottertail -> RE: James Carville on Obama (9/16/2011 11:13:09 AM)
He also worked on Hillaries campaign. So........ But if we go by anecdote, (something the right is oft wont to do) the fact that he advises Obama would make Obama a hands down shoe in.

Then why are you and Firm trying to pretend that his criticism of Obama is anything but him not standing up for liberal ideas. I respect him for compromising but at some point you have to stand your ground. And I think that was what Carville was saying.

Obama will listen to no one, and will not be re elected because of it. James Carville is liberal. Are you really this uneducated in politics while posting on a political board? You're correct in saying that he is a liberal but he is also pragmatic and a VERY damn good political strategist. If you are a Democrat and Carville gives you advice, it would be an excellent idea to follow it if you want a hope in hell of winning.

quote: ORIGINAL: DomYngBlk Nothing I can do about his baggage. Can't see women, even republican women voting for him for dropping it on his wife while she was sick. If that is his style. what else is he able to do. Actually would be great to have him win the nomination. Would give Democrats a chance to put a stake in the heart of the Right Wing cause we both know he can't shut up It's not necessarily true that Newt can't overcome his baggage. It depends on how and what he says and whether or not people believe him about it. The US public can be pretty good about "forgiving". Just witness the Clintons. Firm
