 A Must Have in the Fight for Equality and Fairness! August 19, 1999
He runs thru the hypocrisy of elected officials and covers why social fairness and equality are important and how they can be protected. Excellent ideas and style!
 Nothing new here... August 16, 1999

Read it just to see what I may have been missing...not much. Same old tired rhetoric, defends what cannot possibly be defended. Save your money, wait til he goes on C-Span for a good laugh.
Good for the Reader's Digest demographic... July 22, 1999
...but not much else. This oh-so-simplistic look at issues from a "I'm-a-lover-of-personal-freedom-yet-still-morally-upright" standpoint with the Big Bad Republican Party practically carrying pitchforks and having horns is indicative of what is wrong with this country, and this seems particularly laughable in lieu of Clinton's recent follies of the last couple of years. Carville succeeds in further obfuscating the true issues that face this country by increasing partisanship with a one-dimensional analyses of the issues which are neatly lumped into categories of Right and Wrong which are... surprise! Democrat and Republican! Do we have a revoulutionary thinker here or what? Needless to say, this has all the revolutionary impact of a Bud vs. Bud Light debate at a mid 80's football game. One seriously wonders if Carville is chanting 'less filling!' with all of the bravado that he purports to have against the Republican Party. Gee, are you for 'women and children's rights', 'the right for every American to make a living' and every other tired cliche that is spouted by your homegrown senator at election time? Then you must be a Democrat! Remember, not all members of the White Male Lawyer Political Power Elite are created equal. Yeah right. In our current times where things have disintegrated to the point of incoherence it is tempting for many to buy into this sort of tripe. I don't think there is any thoughtful person in America who is for all of the things the Republican Party supposedly advocates (in a insidious, demonic sort of way of course) as presented in this book. However, Carville's Carter-esque New Left solutions, under the guise of 'personal freedom' and other catch-phrases, isn't the answer either.
All that the title reveals... July 20, 1999
I beleive the title generally speaks for the book. It tells us many things about Mr. Carville and his opinions. It tells us Carville proclaims himself infallable and superior to all other freely formed opinions. It tells us Mr. Carville is a radical leaning leftist who opposes everything conservative for the sake of stubborn pride. It tells us Mr. Carville believes in "our way or no way" politics rather than compromise and pragmatism. It tells us Mr. Carville enjoys slandering his oppositions with name calling rather than actually addressing issues. It tells us Mr. Carville has a case of great hubris. It tells us Mr. Carville is one of a closed mind for all opinions which dissent from his are "wrong" as specifically announced by the title. It tells us Mr. Carville is but another noisy fool...
Comedy. July 18, 1999

James Carville remains extremely entertaining. However, this book should be listed in the comedy section rather than the political section. Or more appropriately, a fiction novel. When was the last time you received good service from the government? How about the IRS? Apparently, James forgot about them. He also forgot that his boss signed on for Farewell Reform and other conservative programs. James also forgot the new liberal tax plan - "Send in every penny you earn, we will send back what we think you need!". I will say this, Carville could replace Seinfield as the best comedy on Television!
