Almost certainly fabricated right-wing nonsense:

I agree. It's absolute rubbish:

This author reached out to Mr. Carville's office about the blistering quote
and received the following response:
Mr. Becker,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Apparently the quote was
falsely posted by an unknown user to a quotations website called
thinkexist.com. We have contacted the website and asked them to take the
quote down. James Carville never said these words, and this quote in no way
belongs to James Carville.
Liar, liar pants on fire. (-: What I find remarkable is that Americans are
finally catching on to how much of the information being cited as gospel by
the right turns out to be utter BS and punished them at the polls for their
mendacity.
Looks like Carvelle is running from an off hand remark thats catching
up to him.

And its not Bush's fault either!!

""The Democratic constituency is just like a herd of cows. All you have
to do is lay out enough silage and they come running. That’s why I
became an operative working with Democrats. With Democrats all you
have to do is make a lot of noise, lay out the hay, and be ready to
use the ole cattle prod in case a few want to bolt the herd.
Eighty percent of the people who call themselves Democrats don’t have
a clue as to political reality.
What amazes me is that you could take a group of people who are hard
workers and convince them that they should support social programs
that were the exact opposite of their own personal convictions. Put a
little fear here and there and you can get people to vote any way you
want.
