Carville: Wake up Democrats; you could lose

[Listening]

If you read the article...he asks why democrats are so confident.

Or, as he puts it, "What are smoking ?".

I've always wondered that about democrats.

 

[American_Jihad]

A long time ago a great three-time governor of Louisiana, Earl Long, said about Jimmie Davis, the two-time not very good governor of Louisiana, "You couldn't wake up Jimmie Davis with an earthquake."

As I go around the country and see various Democrats and talk to them on the phone, honestly I'm beginning to think that we have become the party of Jimmie Davis.

My message is simple: WTFU. Translated -- wake the you-know-what up, there is an earthquake.


James CarvilleYou think that Democrats around the country are going to win -- as I hear time and time again from people on the street.

Democratic fundraisers, activists, supporters, and even politicians alike have somehow collectively lapsed into the sentiment that the president is going to be reelected and that we have a good shot to take the House back while holding the Senate.

I ask: What are you smoking? What are you drinking? What are you snorting or just what in the hell are you thinking?

Carville: Wake up Democrats; you could lose - CNN.com

It is amazing that democrats would think they are going to win.

As much as I can't stand James....he's been a pretty good voice when it comes to tactical matters. Let's hope democrats don't listen to him.

I so look forward to the screams on the day after the election.

If obongo loses in Nov. I heard that hospitals and police departments are stocking up on rubber boats and body bags. Boats for all the crying and body bags for when they jump...

if Obama loses Wisconsin,Michigan,Colorado,Nevada,and Iowa,,hes toast,,,,,we can only pray.

 

[Immanuel]

Let's bump this puppy.

Between you me and the internet, I would rather we not bump this and not risk "waking them up". Let them sleep right through the election.

I dont understand why Democrats are so confident either. I actually agree with Carville.

Im not saying it's in the bag for Romney. I have no doubt that Obama could pull of a victory. He did once before. I dont think he will. I think he is going to lose in a landslide. But it is quite possible that he could win.

But it's like alot of these Democrats cant even concieve that Romney may win despite the fact that they have to resort to attacking him about his dog and his faith (And to be fair they've lost the dog issue since Obama's quote about eating dog came out).

They really cant attack Romney's weakness in Romneycare. Because that brings up Obamacare which the people hate.

The more they attack Romney for being a successful capitalist the more conservatives will rally around him and the more than look like socialists.

In fact, that's probably one of the things they will try to do. They are going to try to paint Romney as an extreme conservative. Which, if it works, will get Romney more of the bases support. It's a lose argument for Obama.

Obama is already starting out with a disadvantage with the EC votes being shifted to traditionally red states do to the census. He can't run as a clean slate candidate since he has a record. A very poor record. (hence why the left and media are trying to distract us as much they can from that record).

I think Obama is going to eventually do the only thing he can do, and the one thing that will completely destroy his campaign. He is going to have to have his minions go hard core anti mormon. He, of course, would avoid it for plausible deniability. But if he does that, he cant hide from God. And most of the American people will see through the smoke screen.

 

[Listening]

Obama is already getting desperate.

It is obvious in his voice.

And how to republicans feel about him using their tax dollars to campaign ?

 

[Roudy]

if Obama loses Wisconsin,Michigan,Colorado,Nevada,and Iowa,,hes toast,,,,,we can only pray.

He's loosing those and more. I don't see anyody but hardcore dedicated party line imbeciles voting him. Romney will usher in another decade of progress and prosperity. He is a smart, able man with the right qualifications to lead us out of this mess that Bush and Obama have created. Romney is a moderate, not a left wing or right wing ideologue, who has experience bringing two sides together and getting things done. The only thing I worry about when Romney gets in, is having to remodel the Whitehouse and adding another Wing to it to house his 54 wives. Other than that we should be fine.

The Democrat socialist Hollywood king makers told him that in order for the billions to start flowing for Obama's reelection campaign, he had to bend down and kiss their ring, come out of the closet, and admit that he supports gay marriage. Apparently bending down and kissing people's rings doesn't bother President Hussein, he's had a lot of practice with his Saudi masters.

I do believe that should be labeled high crimes and misdemeanors if used to assist his campaign.

I have to quibble with just one of your points. At least assuming the wife thing was tongue-in-cheek.

Romney wont usher in another decade of progress of prosperity. One man can't do that. The government cant do it. If Romney is going to be an effective President he needs to get out of the way of the people as we the people usher in a decade of prosperity. (BTW what do you mean by progress?)

I think Romney will be effective and decentralizing power from Washington. It's one of the issues he is running on as well as allowing free markets to work. If he follows through, and if the people repent and humble themselves before God. We will see unprecedented growth.

But as long as the people are full of pride, corruption, dishonesty, apathy, and hate we will have serious problems regaining prosperity no matter how much government gets out of our way.

It should. Be Obama funnels tax money to campaign contributers who then donate back to his cause and its perfectly legal.

Too bad this is covered by 'nobody in congress has the balls enough to press charges' thinking.

 

[BreezeWood]

8 threads on gay marriage, but none on massive deficits, lack of jobs, looming double-dip, and the generalized horrible malaise of Liberalism and dependency unleashed on America by Pelosi-Reid-Obama.

In other words, just like Barry would like the national dialogue to be going.

Actually the economy is improving.

This is the worst recovery in modern history.

It's all about the economy, and we aren't stupid.

This is the worst recovery in modern history.

the recession ended June of 09 - with uninterrupted positive GDP (Growth) since that time to the present.

What is established is the previous Republican Administration was the cause of the WORST Recession since the 1930s Great Depression - and the Republican party walked hand in hand to the demise of an Economy that had turned a Budget Surplus the prior year to Bush's inauguration.

 

[CrimsonWhite]

Carville is right. If Romney can use Carville's "economy stupid" strategy, then President Obama could very easily go the way of Jimmy Carter. Now, I'm not saying that Romney is Reagan. Far from it. But the man is poised to take it. A good Veep candidate, a piss poor economy, and now a wedge issue like gay marriage. Gos willing, the GOP could make this happen.

I used to believe that one man can't actually usher in a new era, until I experienced the Reagan years. Romney and Reagan are similar in many ways. Reagan like Romney was also a moderate, that came from being the governor of the very liberal state of California, yet he was able to get Hollywood and the leftist media to go along and like him. He changed the dialogue domestically and internationally, and brought about a newfound sense of pride into being American. He not only turned the economy around, but caused the demise of the Soviet Empire. One great man can indeed make a difference. Romney certainly can be another Ronald Reagan, or a Bill Clinton, two of the greatest presidents we have had.

I agree. I don't think either side should take this election for granted.

Meh, I think I'll donate to Romney... just for the craic of it.

Correct. Weak, tepid, deficit driven growth following a massive downturn.

As I said, this is the worst recovery in modern history.

Let me help you educate yourself on it. :

Carville is correct, why say out loud that we have this wrapped up? It doesn't motivate people to get out and vote.

One thing Reagan had going for him was his personality and charisma. If you think Romney is anything like Reagan, .

He has the potential of being a really terrible president like Reagan was.
