We all know about the reporter who got a "Tingle going up his leg" when The One spoke. Well what Dick Morris said last night on O'Reilly sent a shiver up my spine. Anyone familiar with him knows that Dick knows his stuff. The issue was the redefining of the Republican Party. He said that if Obamas radical agenda works - big govt, nationalized healthcare, out of control spending, etc. we will all have to become Democrats. If it doesnt work (which I believe is the most likely outcome) the GOP will make a big comeback in 2010 and 12. What scared me is how he said its all going to happen no matter what. Does anyone believe The One is going to get everything he wants without opposition? I know the Dims have virtual control of both houses, but there are a lot of 1st term Senators & Congressman out there, not to mention blue dog democrats. What do lawmakers want more then anything else? More terms in office. They are the ones who will have to go back to their districts and explain why the unions are going to decimate business, energy bills skyrocket due to cap-and-trade, why its best for the govt to fund their childrens college education, essentially running their lives from cradle to grave, etc. Because of this I cant believe the Dims will just rubber stamp The Ones agenda, no matter how radical. Whats worse is once a lot of these programs are in place and scope of govt increased, it will be VERY difficult, if not impossible for future administrations to role them back. Its looking more and more like the damage The One will do over the next 4 years is beyond calculation.
This is why the push to get things through rapidly, without debate. Two reasons. First, elections are still in the distance so the blue dogs can hope people forget that when it came down to it they proved to be as socilistic as any other dem. Second, they can claim that in the rush to get things done they hadnt been aware of certain aspects and wouldnt have supported them had they known. In other words, they can disavow their own votes.
As it gets closer to 2010, those blue dogs will get more and more uncomfortable and some will begin to break off on selected issues. The major damage has to be done this year, this is the only year Obama has a blank check.
In the years prior to the civil war, the whig party dissolved and there was one major party, the democrats. But there was a major issue around which a new party could converge, that of slavery. And hence the GOP, cobbled together from old whigs, some northern democrats, and abolitionsists rose. Something similar would happen, there won't just be one party in America.
Extremely optimistic my friend, but at least it gives us a goal
Communism is like rape — just lay back and accept the historic inevitability. /sarcasm
Dick Morris: Contra indicator.
The only thing he will succeed at is implementing his socialist/communist/fascist/obamanism with the willing help of the MSM telling us how wonderful it is working.
They are already saying that the economy is showing signs of recovery but unemployment has not yet reached its high.
Now my reaction is WTF? The problem as I see it is most people will see it as progress without giving any thought.
That's yet another problem with the electorate, they can be individually experiencing a crap existence but they think its just them because the media say everything is just peachy....and they will believe it.
You people are graduating from college to no jobs. Young people of my era graduated to a Carter recession. They realized Carter and liberalism was a disaster.
I wonder if young people today will realize that. The media’s 24x7 fawning over O will never stop.
We also have to stop nominating candidates like John McCain who are nothing more than RINOs. We need young vibrant and really intelligent folks to run ofr office who have true conservative values principles and ideas.
Yesterday, my husband was trying to set up phone service in another state.He was speaking with someone in California.She asked him how he liked Obama.He was astounded .Then she said that he was the best pres.,had done so many good things already.
If I had been on the line, I would have asked her to name one.He told her that the alien should leave now.I wonder if we will get service as promised?
There are idiots out there and they vote.
Ok, I have been slammed for saying Dick Morris knows his stuff. Who should I listen to? I think Michelle Malkin is great - should I not be listening to her?
Dims have virtual control of both houses take cover grab ammo it’s about as good as it gets with obama&Co.around.
If Obama’s 3rd World Marxism truly worked, I would cheer him on. However, everywhere it’s been tried it’s proved a total, complete, utter disaster.
And thats what really scares me. The definition of Insanity is trying the same thing over and over, but expecting a different result. By that definition, Obama is off his rocker. How comforting.
“Ok, I have been slammed for saying Dick Morris knows his stuff.”
Not from me. I agree with you about Dick Morris.
*snicker*
Rightwing primary voters are just as susceptible to MSM propaganda as the rest of America.
We on FR are in a clear minority of people who know the issues.
although i stopped putting any stock into what he said when he assured everyone that hillary would undoubtedly get the nomination and win the white house.
