Would you buy a used government from Newt Gingrich?
------
No, but by GOd, we need someone with the GUTS and conservatism to go in a clean up the dysfunctional and corrupt mess that Washington is....and Newt is the only one I see with the spine, and conservative patriotism to do it.

The rest don't care. Period.

I agree with just about everything Dickie says in this.

Someone slap me. Hard.

Leave out the fact the top of your list should read
REAGAN!
REAGAN!

and you really make a compelling point their. I think faddish theories regarding our subinfuedation are generally overblown.

He still misses more often than he hits. He also predicted Hillary losing in 2000.

I think you’ll see one of the minor leaguers win it [the GOP nomination],” Morris told Fox News Channel.

In January 1999, George W Bush, had just won reelection as Governor of Texas, and was at that point one of the "minor leaguers" in terms of the GOP nomination for President in 2000.

"I have said from the very beginning, Hillary is the Democratic nominee and she is the next president of the United States.”

Yeah, Dick Morris's batting average when it comes to predictions is about .150.

IMO, we are on the brink of having to invoke the following....and Newt is the only prominent player with an honest conviction to pursue a lesser remedy....

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Warning from Dick Morris to the GOP--Nominate a liberal Republican or else a liberal Democrat will win.

Thanks a lot, Dick. I might remind you that your former boss, Slick Willie, was a "minor leaguer" at one point, too.

Not on my watch.

Hillary won't choose Obama for VP. He brings nothing to her ticket that she doesn't already have.

What does Obama add? Nothing. Illinois is already a Dem state. And the Dems usually get most of the Back vote. And Obama has almost no viable experience.

She will go for someone who adds to her ticket.

Richardson of NM could bring more Hispanic vote, for example.

Dick Morris fancies himself as an authority on Hillary. He has a vested interest in seeing her political career continue.

She should have lost in 2000. There has never been a weaker campaign than that by Rick Lazio.

Saddle us with two Bushes and a Romney and tell me the check pants country club republicans aren't firmly in control.

Just think...if Hillary wins in 2008 and 2012, we could still elect Jeb Bush in 2016 and 2020 and keep the string alive...
