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.
Is that some kind of poor joke??
the ray of sunshine here is that jimmah carter is no longer the worst president in history........
This is how it will be done

Dick Morris is always wrong.
Hi, Dick.
No, we don't know that, Dick.
This will only be a test of the ability of the propaganda machine (MSM) to convince as many peoples as possible for as long as possible that the policies are working.
There will be a time when the citizens wake up, the question is will it be too late.
Ray of sunshine?
People on our side won’t get blindsided as bad as the sheeple and useful idiots on the other side.
Most of The 0ne’s supporters are going to be in for the unpleasant surprise of their lives.

“Dick Morris: My advice is learn to live with it”
Well then it’s a good thing we don’t take advice off of Dick Morris, huh?
No they won’t have to go back to their communities and explain anything. These are politicians. Their egos won’t let them apologize for anything. Right now they’re only thinking of themselves. They’re riding on The One’s golden coat tails hoping for some of the glory to rub off on them. As long as they kiss up to him they’ll be in his favor. The minute they oppose him, they’ll be exiled from the light.
What we’ve failed to understand is we are nothing. We are the little people. It doesn’t matter that we put them in office, it’s that they are there and once there, they can do as they please. There are too many ignorant voters (and makebelieve voters) who don’t pay attention and will just vote for name recognition. Once a politician gets his name out there, he doesn’t have to answer to anyone.
He knows his toes, I'll give him that.
“Market explodes as his policies are reversed or stymied.”
And the media gives him credit for the recovery. He is reelected in 2012.
Regarding that “we all have to become democrats” point:
I’ve actually thought about that. So what if there really is only 1 major party? Doesn’t mean the same idealogical arguments don’t still go on within it.
Really all it means is that the primaries become the important elections, with the general elections being a mere formality.
Isn’t it that way in a lot of localities already?
Maybe we’re better off letting the dems rail against the “R” label while we infiltrate their party and attempt to influence their choices.
For example, I was watching a show on PBS about the Soviet-German alliance from 1939-41, and the later war between them. They interviewed a sailor from the Merchant Marine, who made the Murmansk Run with several fellow sailors who were self-proclaimed Communists (he called them "pinkies"). When they docked in Murmansk, they stayed for several days. According to this sailor, after seeing Communism upclose and personal, ALL the "pinkies" renounced Communism.
Dick Morris DID say this about the GOP- they should ditch the moderates and embrace conservativism....reason being, the radical, flag-burning, baby-killin' left isn't listening to the GOP moderates anyway, so they might as well get their base pumped up by advocating balls-to-the-wall conservatism.
Whatever you say about Dick Morris, he does have a pretty good grasp of tactical politics.
I agree. It’s like being with someone in a car — the other person is driving — and you know they are going the wrong way. By the time that it’s obvious that they took a wrong turn, they have driven the car into quicksand, or off a cliff. You don’t get to have you turn to go back to the “right way.”
