Dick Morris: Hill Sells Out
NY POST ^

Posted on 01/31/2005 5:31:10 PM PST by Nascardude

January 31, 2005 -- WHEN the British ul tra-liberals in the pre- Tony Blair Labor Party published their lengthy election manifesto in the late 1980s, the radical document so explicitly spelled out their defiance of English public opinion that a Tory politician called it "the longest suicide note in history." Now, in choosing their new national leader, the Democratic Party is publishing a much more succinct suicide note. It reads "Chairman Howard Dean." There is a school of thought among Democrats that by embracing policies and programs deeply at variance with what most Americans think will enhance the party's electoral viability. It was such wisdom that led to the selection of doomed nominees like Walter Mondale, Mike Dukakis and John Kerry. It is only when the views of these crazies were repudiated — as with the nominations of JFK, LBJ, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton — that the party can win elections.

Thanks.

The parrot's cage paper had to be changed.

Ooops, he's reading it and making small deposits all over it.

Sorry, Dick.

quite frankly i don't understand the democrat left.

it's comprised of two distinct elements:

1. cannon fodder at the bottom. they get their information from tv and michael moore, etc.

2. and "intellectuals" at universities and in the media. they subscribe to emotions, not ideas.

in tucson last year i saw the deaniacs racing about town in their cars, yelling slogans at pedestrians. they were in the supermarkets yelling slogans. apparently they were energized by the university.

Toe sucking and giving bad advice sure carries a weak resume doesn't it? Please Dick Morris, go do something with your hands without a pen or a hooker. Maybe painting or something........

And Jimmy Carter, while pretending to be a good old Southern peanut farmer, turned out to be one of the "crazies."

What both groups have in common is they are intellectual inbred. They cannot think for themselves.

Interesting speculation about Ickes. A lot of us wondered why he would support Dean for the DNC.

If he is right, this may be curtains for hillary. I really thought she would run in 2004 after knocking Dean out of the race. Yes, it would be harder, running against Bush. But by 2008 she will be seriously older and seriously out of power without McAuliffe or Ickes at the DNC.

Sure, she's not helpless yet. But she has to worry about a lot of ambitious Democrats who are sick of the clinton's using up all the air in their party. It's not clear that she can stop a palace coup in the party.

Hillary doesn't confide in the toe sucker, but he does know the players pretty well.

I think she has decided that Dean is the guy to take the Dems even further down the drain in 2006 - leaving her as the only candidate who can save the Dems in 2008.

I usually don't care for Dick Morris's opinions. But that's a great quote.

"And the Clintons? Even as Hillary tries to fool us once more into believing in her political moderation, they do not dare stand up against Dean. Even though they know that Dean knows that it was the Clintons who assassinated him en route to the nomination last year, neither Bill nor Hillary utter a peep as their party falls off the deep end.

The Clintons could have gotten Ickes the job, but neither one did any heavy lifting on his behalf. Why not? I'm no longer privy to their secrets, but my guess is that Bill was too sick, sad, physically weakened and unfocused — and that Hillary, an ingénue without his guidance and leadership, didn't dare to try on her own for fear of publicly failing."

________________________________________________________________

Dick may well be on target with this one. He's not the only writer who is saying the Dem stalwarts just can't work up the courage to oppose the whackos. It certainly appears to him that the Clintons grasp on the party is sloooowly slipping away. The nomination may well be hers for the taking in '08 but by then she may well be an historical footnote and the Dems a small "crank" party. Dick reminds us that Hilary is nowhere without Bill and I believe we all agree that it's looking like Good King Billy will have long since kissed the sod by then (gotta quit those Big Macs myself while there's still time!)

Someone else wrote that what is currently passing for a strategy among the Dems is what they think Newt and the Republican revolutionaries were doing ten years ago. The problem with that theory was that Newt was offering ideas to the public along with the brickbats he was hurling at the Dems. Nae, I'm afraid that "obstruct, snipe and throw your feces" is not going to win the day here.

The democrats are prisoners of the Pro Abortion--Gun Grabbin--Homosexual Pushing--Tree Worshipping--Anti Religion --Anti Military-- America is The Cause of All the World Ills --wack jobs that are the basis of the VAST majority of their $$$$$$$$$$$ They say $$$$$ is the mother's milk of politics and the democrats ain't got no other teats to feast on No way they can shake off that Tar Baby and survive financially

That is why they can't oppose them

The party is deprived of the ballast offered by swing voters, the party moves further and further to the left, driven by a Jacobin desire for revolutionary purity and revenge against those who urge pragmatism and point to the path to victory.

I consider myself pretty politically savvy, but I'm apparently not. What is a "Jacobin desire"? The only Jacob I'm familiar with is the biblical figure, and it doesn't fit here.

He's just making sure we know that Hillary allegely has stiffed another alleged supporter.

I believe she and Bill are becoming washed up. And it's about time.

I've never herad anyone call Hillary an "ingénue" before! It's not a word I use every day so I could be a little fuzzy on the definition -- but I don't think it fits Hillary Clinton at all.

How odd it is to see Hillary trying to convince us that she's a red state kind of girl (offering moderate views on abortion, condemning illegal immigration, emphasizing the importance of prayer in her life and backing the war) even as her party lurches to the left.

IMHO, it's not odd, it's desperation.

Actually, I think "Her Heinous" is executing a classic disinformation campaign. With Dean's ascension to the leftist throne, Hilary can claim her party left her and wrap herself in the flag, so to speak (or at least her version of it). She has been positioning herself for this tactic ever since her first day as senator.

Hilary already knows that she'll get many RINO votes just as she did in New York, and in a presidential election, she may garner more, proportionally speaking. She also knows that the leftists will NEVER vote for a Republican so she'll have those votes that, for the moment, have left her (in this planned subterfuge).
