Carville’s Memo to Democrats: GOP Poised to retake House, Senate in 2010

Carville's Memo to Democrats: GOP Poised to retake House, Senate in 2010

Democratic strategist James Carville this week sent out an e-mail to leading Democrats, saying that the GOP will rebound in 2010 in what amounts to a second Republican Revolution.

Carville wrote that in 1994, "things were a lot like they are today. A young, exciting president. Big majorities in Congress. We figured we'd have plenty of time to build the America we wanted. You know what happened next. Fifty-four new Republicans elected in the House. Eight new Republicans elected in the Senate. Our moment of opportunity had passed. Republicans are hoping 2010 is the new 1994. But heck, they don't need eight new senators. If they gain just one or two, it's going to be that much easier for them to scuttle vital legislation."
The fundraising letter from former Bill Clinton aide Carville sought to raise $184,852 "to keep the Senate safe from Republican obstruction and help pass President Obama's agenda."Contributors of $5 or more, he said, would receive a free "Change Starts With Me" car magnet.
Carville said Democrats are eying Senate seats currently held by Republicans in North Carolina and Missouri, but history is on the side of the GOP because "in every midterm election since the Civil War — save three — the president's party has lost seats in Congress. We can make it four."

Carville's concerns about 2010 would seem to belie the title of his new book, “40 More Years: How the Democrats Will Rule the Next Generation.”

One of the reasons that Obama seems to be dropping in the polls -- and bringing his fellow Democrats down with him -- is his visceral dislike of past American policy, which Americans, rightly, equate with American history.

A new study by Nile Gardiner, PhD, of the Heritage Foundation entitled, "Barack Obama's Top 10 Apologies: How the President Has Humiliated A Superpower, details just how much the new president does not love this country, is not loyal to its people, and does not have the preservation of the United States of America at heart.

Gardiner and Morgan Roach, reported in a Heritage Foundation Web Memo published on June 2, that a "common theme" runs through Obama's statements.  That theme is the patently false idea that "the United States must atone for its past policies, whether it is America's application of the war against Islamist terrorism, or its overall foreign policy. At the core of this message is the concept that the U.S. is a flawed nation that must seek redemption by apologizing for its past sins.'"

Polling by Gallop and Rasmussen indicates that the popularity of the President is slipping. Should that trend continue, Carville's goal of 40 more years might well be a pipe dream.
