Free Republic

RUSH: I want to move on to this Dick Morris business and the attack on the Catholic Church last week by Obama. I want to ask you, if you remember back in January there was a presidential debate, a Republican debate in Manchester. Do you remember -- 'cause this is a setup for what's coming -- do you remember, we were all perplexed here. George Stephanopoulos kept hounding Romney on contraception. It had not come up, nobody had said anything about it, and we were all confused, as was Romney, what the deal was. Well, it is Dick Morris' theorem...

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss how the latest polling shows a huge GOP surge. Tune in!

Dear Friend, Over the weekend, I got an e-mail from my friend Naftali Bennett who served as Netanyahu’s Chief of Staff. It is a chilling warning about Iranian nuclear ambitions and a plea for action by Americans to save Israel from Iran and from the Obama Administration’s neglect. He has given me permission to share his e-mail below with you: Take his warning to heart! Dick This is Naftali Bennett’s email to Eileen and I: Dear Eileen & Dick, I hope all is well with you two. As you may recall, I served as Netanyahu’s Chief of Staff a few...

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss how the Republican nominees must stop the negative campaigning against each other. It’s time for Mitt and Newt to cut it out! The race can go on after Florida, but let’s enforce the Eleventh Commandment — Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican!

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss who won last night’s Republican debate in Charleston, South Carolina. One man won the debate. The other will win the election! Tune in!

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss how Obama is defying Congress and handing our enemies our most vital defense secrets. Tune in!

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss how Obama is destroying his party. Listen to these polls!

According to the latest Rasmussen Poll, 21% — more than one in five — Democrats have abandoned the Party since Obama’s election as president. While most have become Independents, identification with the Republican Party has also risen not only since 2008 but also even since the GOP’s 2010 victory. Rasmussen, who tracks voters’ party identification (self-described) every month, shows that Democratic Party identification, has dropped by eight points (or 21%) since Obama’s election in November, 2008 while Republican Party identification has risen by three points over the same period. Despite speculation in the liberal media that the Republicans in Congress...

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss how Republicans are heading for disaster in their battle over extending jobless benefits. Tune in!

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss how House Republicans are giving Obama his best poll numbers since July, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Tune in!

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss how, when comparing the records, Ron Paul is the most liberal man ever to run for president in modern times. Tune in!

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss how Santorum’s moving up in Iowa from the back of the pack, like a late finisher in the Iowa Derby. Tune in!

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss how a group called America Elects is, inadvertently, paving the way for Ron Paul to run as a third candidate, which would re-elect Obama. Tune in!

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss how Obama has to choose between alienating the greens or the unions. It could doom his re-election chances. Tune in to see why!

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss the possibility of Newt v. Mitt. Who will win? Who should we support? Tune in!

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss why Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan must be recuse herself from the Obamacare case. She was Obama’s legal strategist for defending his health care program! She must step aside!

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss who won Saturday night’s GOP Debate in Spartanburg, South Carolina. A come-from-behind candidate shined!

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss the question: Who Lost the Arab World? The Arab Spring is turning into a nightmare — a combination of Shariah extremism, anti-Semitism, anti-Americanism, and pro-terrorism. It’s a foreign policy fiasco.

The genius of pollsters and forecasting public opinion (ask Bill Clinton!) explains why the worst fate of a politician is not to be liked or disliked but to be ignored and not taken seriously has finally caught up with Obama. The endless teleprompter rhetoric and spin is becoming tiresome even to some of his supporters!

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss the battle of freedom going on in Ohio. The unions are trying to repeal the best reform law in America. If they win, they get their power back. If they lose, we beat them nationally and the vote is in two weeks!

As the early ’70s repeat themselves with the chaotic Occupy Wall Street demonstrations in lower Manhattan, we need to grasp what a peril this movement is to President Obama and the entire Democratic Party. It is like the Obama campaign run wild without Obama in it. It is as if the bandwagon has taken off and left the president behind. And he and his party are racing to catch up. “There go my followers,” they seem to be saying, “and I must go with them because I am their leader.” Just as the civil rights movement of the late ’50s...

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss how two top Obama fundraisers are now implicated in the Solyndra loan mess and there are more scandals to come!

What You’re Not Hearing About the New Jobs Bill: It Overrides State’s Rights September 20, 2011 at 12:01pm by Becket Adams With the introduction of The American Jobs Act, Americans may soon witness a rerun of the Obama healthcare struggle. Much like its predecessor, president Obama’s newest bill contains certain provisions that would appear to benefit those who wrote the bill more than those for whom the bill was supposedly written. For instance, buried deep, deep on page 133 of the bill, it states: SEC. 376. FEDERAL AND STATE IMMUNITY. (a) Abrogation of State Immunity- A State shall not...

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I discuss how last night’s debate totally changed the GOP primary. A front runner was deflated, a second tier candidate came roaring back, and Newt did his thing. What will the effect be?

After all the buildup and hype, Obama's jobs speech may backfire and end up costing him political ground.

The internals of the most recent round of polling indicate that Obama is about to fall even further in favorability, perhaps even into the 20's!

Now here comes Rick Perry challenging Mitt Romney’s record on job creation. The stats are definitely in his favor. Between June of ’09 and June of ’11, 50% of the net new jobs created in the United States were in Texas, making Texas number one in job growth by a loooooooooong shot. Under Romney, Massachusetts’ record was terrible by comparison. The Bay State ranked 47th in job growth with employment rising less than one percent from ’03 to ’07 – his years in office (during which US job growth was 5 percent). Governor Perry clearly did better than Governor Romney...

The latest Gallup Poll shows that Hispanics, key part of the tripod of blacks, latinos, and young people that propelled Obama's election are now turning against him big time!

Would she have been as leftist? Socialist? Pro-big government? Easier or harder to beat? As inept?

He's got sixty days to make up his mind. If he runs, can he win? How will the field shake out? Is he the knight we have been waiting for?

President Obama may well come to look back at the summer of 2011 as the halcyon days of high approval ratings despite his current 39-54 negative job approval in the Gallup Poll. The indications are that his ratings will continue to crater and are likely to drop even lower….and then lower again. Underlying his overall job approval rating is his approval rating, in the Gallup Poll, on specific issues. These internals suggest that even more trouble is ahead for the beleaguered president. On the economy — the central issue now by far — only 26% approve of the job he...

Father Jonathan Morris discusses why the popular ministry, Campus Crusade for Christ, has changed its name to simply 'Cru.'

Dear Friend, Will Obama’s near record fund raising haul save his presidency? In this video commentary, I say no and explain why money can’t save Obama.

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I lash out at the surrender to Obama being pushed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and call for Republicans to stand firm for spending cuts.

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I talk about how Obama has followed the welfare reforms of the Clinton years with a new approach: Putting the entire country on welfare.

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I rebut the New York Times’ characterization of Obama as a centrist in the budget battle and discuss his plan for endless tax increases.

Dear Friend, In this video commentary, I talk about the one question Obama cannot answer that will doom his re-election campaign.

If the election were held today, President Obama would get only 56 percent of the Jewish vote against a generic Republican candidate, down from the 78 percent he won in 2008 and less than the 74 percent John Kerry received in 2004. This is the key finding of a survey of 1,000 Jewish voters I conducted from June 20-27 using telephone and Internet interviews. After asking basic questions of the entire sample, I proceeded to drill down with more detailed questions for the Jews in the sample who identified themselves as Democrats. The overall survey has a 95 percent confidence...

Dick Morris exposes how Obama is using the National Labor Relations Board to force employees to join unions.

Dick Morris discusses what motivates Obama: Does he want to destroy America or is he just wrong or even stupid? Obama is trying to bring the U.S. into the European system of socialism.

Listen to Dick Morris rave about Palin after the VP debate. I thought he was going to cry.

Dick Morris has criticized Pawlenty for a Shariah compliant housing loan program in Minnesota. Now the former Governor says Dick is "reckless" "offensive" and "absolutely crazy". Here's Dick's rebuttal

Dick Morris recounts his visit to Washington where he met with Bachmann and saw Romney, Trump, Paul and Pawlenty speak. Dick handicaps the GOP field based on what he saw. (He likes Bachmann and Romney, not Pawlenty)

Mission creep is underway! The recent announcement that Britain, France, and Italy will send in advisors to tutor the Libyan rebels is the opening door to ground troops, eventually including Americans. Dick explains what Obama has planned.

Charles Krauthammer is the columnist I respect the most for his values, insights, and political sense. So let’s use his column “Handicapping the 2012 Presidential Odds” as a starting point for my own assessment of the current field. Charles begins by dissing Donald Trump and dismissing Michele Bachmann. Sorry Charles but wrong and wronger. Trump will run as a Republican with a damn good chance of winning the nomination. He appeals more to moderates and Independents than to stalwart Republicans but he captures the hearts and minds of the outside-of-the-beltway crowd with his blunt outspokenness and a raft of experience...

In our book Revolt!, we warn that inflation may well be the dominant legacy of the Obama presidency. While he had Bush’s help in creating high unemployment, he has driven us into inflation all on his own. The latest data indicates that prices soared in March at an annual rate of 6.5 percent, by far the highest increase in decades. Half of the increase was in energy prices and one half point in higher food costs. While the Federal Reserve Board focuses on the “core” inflation rate, that excludes these volatile items, American consumers dip into the same pocketbook to...

Dick Morris commentary on the state of the American economy. Video at link.

OBAMA'S LEGACY: STAGFLATION By DICK MORRIS Published on TheHill.com on March 1, 2011 Obama's failure to support America's allies in the Middle East and his dithering endorsement of chaos in the region will send oil and gasoline prices skyrocketing, triggering a massive bout of stagflation. This vicious cycle of rising prices, decreased consumption, and ever higher prices (as vendors seek to recover higher fixed costs) will cripple the American economy for years to come. This is Obama's true legacy. Consider what he has done to push up oil and gas prices: • Endorsed spreading chaos in the Middle East. •...

So what happens if the cuts proposed by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers, R-Ky., prove unacceptable to the Senate and the president? What if there is no compromise? What if nobody gives in? A budget deadlock, played out over months, will doom President Obama and assure his defeat. But an easily won compromise will help him get re-elected. The central question in Obama's bid for a second term is: Will the issues that doomed his party in 2010 still be the key questions in 2012? If they are, we already know...

I'm going with socialist.
