To call Reagan's second term a failure is ridiculous. He had problems with Iran Contra but probably could have been reelected in 88 (as might Clinton have been in 2000)

I'm pretty confident that Bush will have a successful 2nd term as long as he stays to the right.

John Gibson on Fox - just asked Geraldine Ferraro if the Democrats were going to act like Barbara Boxer or Diane Feinstein. She just keeps repeating that the Dems have to elect a Chair of the DNC and get more Dems elected.

So they have no intention of working with President Bush for the next 4 years. They are only dedicated to getting back political power.

No ideas, no new solutions - same ol' same ol' what a shame for the USA.

Ike, Nixon, and the Gipper didn't have conservative talk radio, Fox News, and (most important) Free Republic along with the rest of the Internet. But Clinton did (hehehehehe).

Morris needs a fix. Anybody got some toes?

Woodrow Wilson lost Congress, then couldn't bring America into the League of Nations.

Sounds like a success.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Complaining about clinton again?!?

[anniegetyourgun]

I forget....did Morris fail in Clinton's first term, or his second?

[samtheman]

Ronald Reagan had Iran-Contra

To sum up Reagan's second term with these words is a very stupid thing to do.

Dick Morris: How self-obsessed pundits get overblown in the media.

"[regarding social security] the answer is to link retirement age to life expectancy."

Not a bad idea at all. Except life expectancy is mutable and would change every year, and life expectancy is set by factors that probably would be difficult for government to prevent people and legislators from gaming.

Reagan and Clinton suffered because their party was not in control of the House and Senate. The Dems don't have a great scandal waiting in the wings and the GOP won't allow it to slow down Bush anyways. GW Bush is in much better shape to have a much stronger second term. Reagan did make some great accomplishments in his second term in the international arena, but the Democrats stopped Reagan from doing much domestically.

Thanks a lot. I cannot resist opening a post with Dick opinining; then I hate myself and have to wash my computer - with bleach.

Good old Dick Morris.

He always presents his ideas with enthusiasm, no matter how far fetched they are.

Bush will not get away with forcing a single solution over a multi generational problem with social security.

But if he will open his ears, he has a chance to put a solution in place.

The question is, will he listen??

If his tax solution does not include getting rid of the IRS, then what does he solve?

He has a chance to fail in a spectacular way. Or to succeed in a way that is responsive to the people. It is one heck of a test.

[rodguy911]

There is only one thing that could slow Bush's second term, another 911 disaster.

[bray]

Well the Morris prediction cinches it, W is going to have a Successful Second Term.

[festus]

Dick Morris is dumb. And like his former boss who'm he turned traitor on when .... well you know that story. Anyway like his former boss he gets his views from whichever way the winds blowing today. Tomorrow he'll be declaring just the opposite.

When you get him and Orielly together its positive painful to watch.

Reagan's second term a "failure"?

LOL!

Mr. Doom and gloom looking to pick up a few bucks and call attention to himself?

I have NO clue on WHY anyone listens to the "toe sucker".
