Description
'They are wrong and we are right and I'm going to prove it to you!' -Harry S. Truman, Democratic National Convention, 1948. One of Washington's most prominent Democratic strategists and co-author of the New York Times bestseller All's Fair offers a timely, accessible, and entertaining response to the GOP's Contract with America, just in time for primary season. With the Republican Congress blasting away at the federal government, James Carville, a top advisor to President Clinton, show more counterattacks. In We're Right, They're Wrong, he uses his trademark mix of pointed argument, homespun wit, and historic lore to deflate GOP claims that nothing is amiss in America that budget-cutting wouldn't cure. Carville staunchly defends a strong government, one capable of teaching, feeding, healing, defending, and sheltering its citizens, and he provides Democrats and progressives with a politically astute program for building upon what is best about this nation. Filled with anecdotes and political myths, We're Right, They're Wrong is a succinct, witty, fact-filled trot for judging the long primary season. show lessTags

James Carville rips Republicans a new one....Hugely entertaining at the time of its publication during the zenith of the Clinton Administration, before Lewinsky and Whitewater and Kenneth Starr.
Typical Carville.
