Well, this shouldn’t be too surprising, as abrasive and annoying as Carville can be, because his choice in a wife shows he has at least some good sense. ;-)

This made me laugh, because everytime I see the guy I think the same thing, only turned around a bit to a woman’s perspective, “There must be SOMETHING admirable about him if SHE would marry him.”

Was that Carville or Jesus talking to Nicodemus in John 3? :-)
Seriously though,I am pleasantly surprised by his matter of factness here. I never did understand the attraction in this marriage. Choose your cliche’.”There is someone for everyone” or “love is blind.”

“You won?t get back in power by being ?Anybody But Bush?, nor by alienating over half the voters by calling them stupid, nor by embracing a seemingly unrelated set of sometimes extreme positions.”

Seems an interesting viewpoint here. That’s the reason that I personally see the Republican party at the verge of splitting into 2 parties. The worst thing that could happen to it is success. You have 2 republican parties… one that is a group of religious fundamentalists and the other that is a collection of economic conservatives.

In what way does small government lead to expanded laws governing social interaction? How exactly is one both pro-life and pro-death penalty? How can someone be both for expantion of states rights and governmental regulation of marriage?

Barry Goldwater said that he couldn’t support the Republican party anymore under Reagan because it was too much against personal rights. The dems may be down, and we are going to have to look internally to figure out what to convince people to look at what seems to me to be a more self-consistent viewpoint than the alternative. However calling the Democrats out for calling voters stupid or embrasing positions that are contradictory… we learned it from Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Ronald Reagan, and Karl Rove. The problem is that the Democrats aren’t very good at being Republicans.
