How Come ‘Liberal’ Is Such a Bad Word?

So, the other day I received my daily fundraising appeal from the Biden team. Except today rather than the appeal coming from Kamala or Joe, it was signed by James Carville, the guy who ran both of Bill Clinton’s Presidential campaigns.

‘It’s the economy, stupid,’ was Carville’s signature campaign narrative for Clinton who beat George H. W. Bush in 1992 because the election occurred during a brief but dislocating economic downturn.

I have nothing against Carville per se, my problem is with his wife Mary Matalin, who is not only a political consultant, but ran the Bush campaign in 1992. She and Carville were married in 1993 ad both continue to have public appearances on internet media and TV. Matalin changed her registration from Republican to Libertarian in 2016, obviously because she couldn’t put up with the antics of Donald Trump.

I have nothing but loathing for Matalin, and the fact that she maintains some degree of public presence due to her marriage to Carville, as far as I’m concerned, he should also shut the fu*k up and go away.
