Dick Morris Predicts Governors Will Enact School Choice to Save States Money
Three Fingers of Politics ^ | July 26, 2010 | SkinnieMinnie

Invited to discuss recent Gallup Poll numbers showing only 11 percent of Americans are confident in Congress, Democratic strategist Dick Morris appeared on Fox News Channel's "On The Record with Greta Van Susteren" last Friday and cited that lack of confidence as a reason for states to take more bold action after possible GOP victories in November. The former Clinton-aide suggested that with 37 governor races up for grabs and polls tending towards a significant GOP victory in the works, school choice initiatives will be suggested as a cost-saving measure for states.

I have never seen a person’s deep-seated hatred for one person completely transform his or her personality and ideology like Morris.

Gov. Christie’s administration is pushing for school choice. I can see it spreading. It’s an idea whose time has come. It just makes sense in this day and age.

It costs about $14,000 to educate the kids in the middle school next door to me. It costs about $4,500 to educate the kids in the Catholic academy in the next town and every single graduate this year is either going to a private school, a competitive public school, or a Catholic school. The kids in my town do all right. The kids in the Catholic school just do better.

I have no idea what she did to him when Morris worked for bill, but it must have been pretty bad. Of course, she was known to mistreat all the staff, hers and bill’s.

Did he think of that before, during, or after the hooker was licking his toes. To say that a political consultant was caught with a prostitute is to repeat oneself, and applies to the lot of them, from “the architect” to “old serpenthead.”

What Dick misses is that school systems are the church of secular socialism. Never expect a rational reaction in the context of an irrational belief system.

You say that like there is something wrong about hookers licking toes. Its what hookers do. Do you know what else they lick? Be glad we live in a society that provides toe licking hookers to Presidential political advisors.

some will, will have great results, and then Obama will make sure education is more centralized, to bring it to an end.

I can't fault him for that. I used to think I could never hate anyone more.

“I have never seen a person’s deep-seated hatred for one person completely transform his or her personality and ideology like Morris.”

Dick Morris has no professional ideology. He is a political adviser, a “hired gun”. He sells....advice. Whether it is to the left or the right, he is loyal to his profession.

As to disliking the Clintons, he may very well have good reason for that. There was obviously a double standard when bill canned him for philandering, while Bill was messing up the carpets in the Oval Office. This is not a big deal though, as politicians apply double standards all of the time. Hillary, on the other hand, may truly have a reason to be disliked. She is quite a shrew, by most accounts, and Bill may have had much to do with making her that way. In any event, as a family member she was rising well above her
“station” by beating up the help. There are multiple accounts of this by those with the temerity to write about their WH experiences.

In short, her reputation, and the adverse opinion of those that have actually worked with her is probably well deserved. We all leave an impression in our wake, and some of us tend to be destructive. Hillary is one of those people.

In the end, you may not like the message, but you should not blame the messenger.

I have used school choice for my kids education. Home schooling that is. Public school is not a place to educate any more.

I heard him relate the incident a long time ago.

He was still working for the Clintons. There was some political problem going on. Hillary came to the conclusion that it was Morris' fault, lost her temper, and started tearing into Morris using not only profanity, but a stream of anti-semetic (anti-Jewish) slurs.

You could tell he was not forgiving towards her at all.

You know the old line "a conservative is a liberal that has been mugged." Morris may just be a good example of a Jewish liberal that becomes a conservative when he finds out what liberals really think about Jews.
