James Carville Says 80% Of Democrats Are Politically Clueless
Posted by The Rat RESPECTED DEMOCRAT OPERATIVE SPILLS HIS GUTS ON WHAT HE THINKS OF HIS PARTY
James Carville, Democrat political consultant extraordinaire ā and former Bill Clinton campaign manager, has astonishingly come out and said what all good Republicans have known for decades: Not only are most Democrats politically clueless; theyāre easily manipulated by the puppet masters of their party as well. Wow. James Freaking Carville. Of all people. Hereās an excerpt, as quoted on Amazon.com:
āIdeologies arenāt all that important. Whatās important is psychology.
The Democratic constituency is just like a herd of cows. All you have to do is lay out enough silage and they come running. Thatās why I became an operative working with Democrats. With Democrats all you have to do is make a lot of noise, lay out the hay, and be ready to use the ole cattle prod in case a few want to bolt the herd.
Eighty percent of the people who call themselves Democrats donāt have a clue as to political reality.
What amazes me is that you could take a group of people who are hard workers and convince them that they should support social programs that were the exact opposite of their own personal convictions. Put a little fear here and there and you can get people to vote any way you want.
The voter is basically dumb and lazy. The reason I became a Democratic operative instead of a Republican was because there were more Democrats that didnāt have a clue than there were Republicans.
Truth is relative. Truth is what you can make the voter believe is the truth. If youāre smart enough, truth is what you make the voter think it is. Thatās why Iām a Democrat. I can make the Democratic voters think whatever I want them to.ā
Bingo. I couldnāt have written that for olā James any better myself. Truth be told, Iāve always had kind of a love-hate relationship with Carville. While Iāve never agreed with him on much of anything āunless he was commenting on the failures of his party, which unlike most political operatives, heās not been afraid to do through the years ā this is different. This amounts to a total confession of what I define in the right sidebar of this blog as the quintessential āpolitical lieā:
Liberals saying things they know arenāt true for the sole purpose of exploiting the āless-than-informedā for political gain.
