Jeb Bush, James Carville stay close to party lines during UNLV debate

[RamboLiberal]

Republican Jeb Bush, Florida's former two-term governor, and Democrat James Carville, Bill Clinton's former political strategist, debated federal policy, forecast the 2012 elections and traded friendly barbs during a wide-ranging conversation Monday night at UNLV.

-----

Even so, Bush broke from party lines to admonish Republicans for failing to come up with a better health care solution, and Carville appeared to entertain the idea of tax cuts as one prong of a larger plan to re-stimulate the economy.

-----

The audience leaned more Republican than Democratic, with Bush receiving the loudest applause. One audience member grew rowdy early in the event, shouting at Carville as he derided Republicans' budget plan.

"The Sharron Angle people are here tonight — no Second Amendment remedies," Carville retorted.

1. Whoopee - two republicans have a debate

Sounds like kind of a snoozer.

3. Anything involving James Carville is incapable of being called a "snoozer".

Carville could be reading lyrics from a church hymnal book and it would still be entertaining.

4. Speak for yourself

His little fake outrages and temper tantrums are as predictable as the sunrise.

It may have been entertaining 20 years ago when him and his wife first started dragging their freakshow on Meet the Press, but it's way past its sell by date.

Entertaining to you, to me a snoozer. But that's what makes America great, huh?

6. That would be in the eye of the beholder...n/t

7. I never said he was beautiful. Far from it.

Forgive me but I'm entertained just by looking at his weird ass.

2. Great! A corrupt conservative debates a phony liberal.

5. What party lines?

Republican and Very Republican ???
