Judas!
Mar 24th 2008 8:07PM
Filed Under:eHillary Clinton, Democrats, Barack Obama, Featured Stories, Bill Richardson, 2008 President
Come hell or high water, James Carville is sticking by it. After angrily comparing Bill Richardson to Judas Iscariot (for backing Barack Obama in the Democratic race for president), he has refused to step back from his overheated remark. Yes, that's right, he seems to believe that deciding who you'd rather vote for after carefully examining each candidate for several years is tantamount to turning Jesus Christ over to the Romans.The exceedingly strained (and overused) Judas metaphor is often invoked by those purists who favor loyalty over all else. Most famously, it was hurled at Bob Dylan during his famous 1966 concert by a folk fanatic irate at the mere presence of electric guitars. Watch:
Richardson ably handled his own heckler:
"That's typical of many people around Senator Clinton," Richardson said. "They think they have a sense of entitlement to the presidency."
But Dylan's response seems equally applicable to this present day invocation of Judas. Richardson might just have easily come back with "I don't believe you, James Carville. You're a liar." How else to describe those paid political consultants like Mary Matalin (not to be confused with Mary Magdalene) and Carville who'll say anything to score points for their bosses? Remember when Carville declared that if Hillary didn't win both Texas and Ohio, "this thing is done"? Yeah, he probably doesn't remember either.

JUDAS IS TAMED COMPARED TO WHAT RICHARDSON IS-
WAS RICHRDSON "ENTITLED" TO THE POSITION OF AMBASSADOR THAT BILL CLINTON GAVE HIM?
WAS RICHRDSON ENTITLED TO OTHER POSTS CLINTON GAVE HIM??
THOSE POSTS MADE RICHRDSON WHAT HE IS. WITH OUT BILL CLINTON HE IS ZERO-NOTHING
RICHRDSON IS SUPPOSED TO REIGN IN THE HISPANIC VOTES FOR OBAMA. WELL, I GOT NEWS, HISPANICS LOVE THE CLINTONS
SECONDLY , HISPANICS LOVE FIDELITY
THERE IS NOTHING THAT HISPANICS DETEST LIKE BACKSTABBERS AND THAT IS WHAT RICHARDSON IS.
SMALL TIME SELF-SERVING BACKSTABBER!!!!
HE IS NOT WORTH A PENNY TO "PURISTS"
OR ANY NAME YOU PREFER TO USE. RICHARDSON IS A JUDAS, SO IS JOHN LEWIS.
YOU BETRAY YOUR FRIENDS, YOURE NOT WORTH A DIME!!

I THOUGHT SO. . .
democracy at risk8:44PMMar 24th 2008
Don't be dissing my man James Carville, he is the only one that is making any sense of the biased spin CNN puts on everything for Obama. He called them out today when they said Hillary can't reach the number of delegates to get the nomination. He said "Neither can Obama". The truth of the matter is Obama can't even win in Democratic states. He would be toast in the general election. The party better look at who can win in the blue states or just hand the election to McCain on a silver platter.

friendship? you have a sad meaning ofthe words friendship. a friend stands by you no matter what goes down. if the clintons were true friends they would defend richersons decission. but again its a clinton thing. "win at all cost" what a bitter group of people you are. i am not a ob supporter simply because i am for mccain. and i thank all of you clinton fans for opening the door wider for my man mccain. dont you get it? i look at all this crap you guys post and it is truly sad. even the crap about rev wright. did you hear the entire sermon? i dont think so. you can find iit on cnn. you have only seen the 30 sec clip that says "god damn america" the sermon is so much more then that. listen to the entire thing and then if you can understand it make your judgement. how dare you guys judge him because he is half black.. he is also half white.. or are you looking at him as being poor white trash. god you aol posters need prauer

Sounds about right to me!! (lol) Bill Richardson only had a JOB because of the Clinton's.
Carville Rocks9:09PMMar 24th 2008
James Carville is my favorite person they have on CNN. He tells the truth, doesn't sugar coat it. He just says it outright with the cutest southern accent around. I also agree with Carville.

As a resident of New Mexico I think Governor Richardson is a Judas. He did not listen to us the voters, in his state. He went against us, and said our vote doesn't count. What Richardson did to us is a betrayl. Obama is no kind of person or he would let the votes in MI and FL count.
Billo9:28PMMar 24th 2008
Katherine:
That's what I thought...a "write-in" vote.
Lee9:28PMMar 24th 2008
If Obama can go to a church for 20 yrs. and say he doesn't believe the way his pastor preaches. I could go to 20 yrs. of KKK meetings and say I didn't agree with their beliefs, but I liked the uniforms and my old uncles were there.
Carvelville rocks ok and I think Richardson is a Judas to his own state and his friends.
If he doesn't have to vote the way his constituants voted, then why do the super deligates have to vote any way other than the way they believe in their hearts?
Jean9:32PMMar 24th 2008
Richardson ignored the will of the voters in NM. Hillary won his state. He said on TV a superdelegate should not go against his voters.
Davidg9:32PMMar 24th 2008
Richardson cares about one thing, and that is an open border with Mexico.
Apparently at the let's give the U.S. to Mexico auction, Obama came up with the highest bid, and probably a great new gig for the auctioneer as well.
James is right on9:42PMMar 24th 2008
James Carville hit the nail on the head! Richardson is not listening to the citizens of New Mexico. He is hoping for a VP, through Obama. I have no doubt Obama thinks that would be a good way to get the hispanic vote.This is not going to happen. Hispanics know that Obama is no friend to them.
Mary B9:43PMMar 24th 2008
Yes he is a traitor James Carvelle is right...what kind of hand out is he waiting for now from this inexperienced, unpatriotic person...and he said it was from the speech that obama had..then he is surely missing the point...maybe he too is racist
hunter9:47PMMar 24th 2008

Poor Jim, he sees the writing on the wall - no job in the White House for the next 8 years. No wonder he is mad at Richardson for torpedoing his job prospects. The best thing about Hillary's impending loss is that we won't have Bill and Jim in the White House again.
