Here's a doozy from a leading voice of the left. Mr. Carville would rather destroy healthcare reform altogether than put forth a bipartisan bill, purely for political reasons:
On CNN's "State of the Union," Democratic strategist James Carville became the first leading Democrat to suggest publicly that there might be political advantage in letting Republicans “kill” health care.
“Put a bill out there, make them filibuster it, make them be what they are, the party of no,” Carville said. “Let them kill it. Let them kill it with the interest group money, then run against them. That's what we ought to do.”
