James Carville rants it’s hard for Democrats to win elections when voters don’t care that Republicans lie

“Lying doesn’t get you very far in the Democratic Party,” Carville began as he compared Democrats to Republicans. “They will all come out of the woodwork if you say tax cuts create surpluses as they do. You’re a Democrat, you can’t run against immigrants. You just can’t do it, if you did you wouldn’t be a Democrat.”

As the panel moved on to other topics, Carville once again returned to Republican lying.

“All of these people, they document this,” he said of GOP campaign promises and statements on topics like global warming. “It’s overwhelming the number of lies they call them out on. But people don’t care! They don’t care.”

“And if you ask yourself, why , when yo go back and looks at how many special counsels, independent prosecutors, et cetera, et cetera, are Republicans?” he noted. “You know how many there are? All of them! Because if a Republican is under the investigation, we can’t have a Democrat investigator.”

“Why is there never a Democratic independent counsel?” Carville asked. “It’s because we accept the fact that they will raise hell and not pay attention to what a Democrat says.”

1. He's right. Getting people to just goddamned VOTE or even call their reps ...

...in the face of $500 BILLION BEING GUTTED FROM MEDICARE or their TAXES GOING UP enough to eat up half of their disposable income in order to pay for corprat and billionaire tax cuts -- is like PULLING TEETH.

I've tried. Nobody cares about this:

The NEXT DAY the Senate Republicans voted for a $500 BILLION cut to Medicare as part of their tax proposals. Is America raising HOLY HELL about it?

Nope.
