But Carville has been at least consistent in pushing this 'passive aggressive' nostrum.

(there really isn't any question that Ds don't have any significant levers or power right at the moment - but that doesn't preclude us from highlighting gross INSANITY as it rears its head - and contrasting that against what 'responsible' policy and government looks like ... "Remember not so long ago ... When people actually thought that school children were worth investing in - and those that lived in crumbling areas, might actually deserve a break .. ?" )
