I noted before that back when the Surge was starting, 51% of Democrats wanted Bush to fail. That meat the deaths of thousands of American service members in Iraq. Certainly pales in comparison to Rush Limbaugh’s hope that Obama’s socialist takeover of America fails.
Now, it’s been revealed that in 2001, Democratic Skeletor impersonator James Carville hoped President Bush would fail:
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.”
So not only was Carville against him, but he was interested in turning more and more people against the president. And a few years later, over half of Democrats polled wanted the president to fail. But let one Missourian with a microphone hope for liberty to prevail and you get a political firestorm.
