Who Ruined the GOP?
“In the coming weeks,” James Carville writes in today’s Financial Times, “watching the Republican party implode will be the main event.” The focus will probably be on the McCain campaign, but Carville says that “the truth is that there was little Mr. McCain, or his campaign, could do with a party falling apart at the seams.” The Republican brand was destroyed by Iraq, Katrina, Alberto Gonzales, Terri Schiavo, and Wall Street long before McCain became its bearer. “My counsel to Republican friends would be to keep pointing fingers but lay off the political professionals as much as possible,” Carville finishes. “They were not the ones responsible for the disastrous Bush-Cheney-Rove policies that Americans so desperately want to reverse.”
