Carville Wanted Bush To Fail!
OK, I know I’ve been tooting my own horn over my post on Dems wanting Bush to fail (if I don’t, who will? 
). But you have to admit it’s amazing how one little blogger just futzing around on the Internet could cause a tremor that reached the biggest media outfits in the country.
Now, the latest ramification of my little post is this little ditty from Bill Sammon of Fox News:
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: “I certainly hope he doesn’t succeed.”
Carville was joined by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, who seemed encouraged by a survey he had just completed that revealed public misgivings about the newly minted president.
“We rush into these focus groups with these doubts that people have about him, and I’m wanting them to turn against him,” Greenberg admitted.
The pollster added with a chuckle of disbelief: “They don’t want him to fail. I mean, they think it matters if the president of the United States fails.”
“The most influential Republican in the United States today, Mr. Rush Limbaugh, said he did not want President Obama to succeed,” Carville railed on CNN recently. “He is the daddy of this Republican Congress.”
Rush responded today himself:
“The difference between Carville and his ilk and me is that I care about what happens to my country,” Limbaugh told Fox on Wednesday. “I am not saying what I say for political advantage. I oppose actions, such as Obama’s socialist agenda, that hurt my country.
“I deal in principles, not polls,” Limbaugh added. “Carville and people like him live and breathe political exploitation. This is all a game to them. It’s not a game to me. I am concerned about the well-being and survival of our nation. When has Carville ever advocated anything that would benefit the country at the expense of his party?”
Just classic. More liberal hypocrisy. I really think these people think we’re all stupid.

Touche ! Touche!
As I heard them say once on Forensic Files “You can think of a hundred ways to do the perfect crime; it’s the 101st you didn’t that gets you!” (or something to that effect).

Go Lonegan.

I have seen Christie in person twice. He seems like a nice enough guy, but he’s really has no track record except as a prosecutor. I don’t think he’s a movement conservative and don’t think he’s as committed to really changing the state as Lonegan. He certainly doesn’t have the mastery of the issues that Steve does.
Most people I talk to feel Christie will run straight to the center and be a moderate or RINO if elected.

What I like about Lonegan, is that, is been out there fighting corzine on every issue, making a difference, we don’t need anymore RINOS. We need the RNC to start backing real conservatives.
