======================
Hello John,

>TR>responsibility who are considered "minorities". And the democrats
>TR>bitched and moaned about them, and are still bitching and moaning abou
>TR>them.

>EH>Their claim to being the tolerant party is a laugh and a half.

>TR>Believe it or not, the one individual on the left I'd have thought
>TR>would `tank' the worst, is the only one showing any sense; James
>TR>Carville.

>EH>He has surprised me as well. My jaw dropped when I saw him as the
>EH>reasonable one just after the election.

JH>James has mellowed a lot since he hooked up with Mary Matelin,
JH>especially after she almost left him.

Corporal Cueball is the proud father of two children.  Daddyhood
tends to mellow even the most ardent and strident males.  :)

>TR>The left lost big time in this last election, and if they keep
>TR>going the direction they are going now, stand to lose even bigger
>TR>in the next mid-term election.

>EH>The demographics of the blue states are tending more conservative
>EH>and they are looking to lose even these bastians of the left with their
>EH>current antics.

>TR>If they don't start listening to people like Carville, they may
>TR>never win another major election in this country.

>EH>So far, they aren't listening.

JH>That's because Carville isn't one of the "inner circle" of the leftist
JH>illuminati.  He is nothing but an attack dog that they let loose from time t
JH>time.  Because of his marriage to a committed Republican campaign advisor, h
JH>will never be completely trusted by the inner circle.  So, they aren't going
JH>listen to him now when he's giving them good advice.

Clinton wanted Carville to run his 1996 presidential campaign.  Carville
refused, without citing a reason.  Clinton was devastated, having lost
his right-hand man and most trusted campaign advisor.

JH>Personally, I don't think his heart is in it anymore, anyway.  If you compar
JH>how he is today with how he was back in 89 and 90, he's a completely differe
JH>person.  Back then, he was positively crazed - burning with fire of liberal
JH>idealism.

Carville has always been a bit nuts.  But then, he has to be, given his
occupation.  Today, he continues to work as a political consultant.  But
he does not limit himself to American politics.

JH>Over the last fifteen years he has watched the Democrats screw the
JH>pooch too many times, and you can tell his almost religious fervor just isn'
JH>there anymore.  I heard Mary Matelin in an interview say something that didn
JH>make a lot of sense at the time, but in retrospect says a lot.  When they we
JH>having problems, she apparently gave him an ultimatum to clean up his act
JH>politically.  Now, you can hear the cynicism in his voice whenever he starts
JH>talking the talk.

Carville is a Cajun from Louisiana.  As such, family comes first.  Sure,
he loves politics (preferably hot and spicy), as all Cajuns do.  He also
loves food (preferably hot and spicy), as all Cajuns do.  But as is true
of all Cajuns, family is the essence that makes a Cajun a Cajun.
