McCain Begins to Get It Right

Townhall ^ | April 22, 2008 | Dick Morris and Eileen McGann

Can anyone really believe in anything that Dick Morris says? Remember, Dick originally predicted that it would be Condi Rice v.s. Hillary Clinton for POTUS in ‘08.

[tobyhill]

Not even close yet. He has a long way to go and a short time to get there. 20 years of bad policies can’t be undone overnight and the opinions of the bad policies won’t either.

[BullDog108]

His take-no-prisoners attitude toward corruption {snip}

ROTFLMAO! KEATING FIVE???

[steve-b]

More proof of hallucinogeic toenail polish.

[tumblindice]

“But McCain has always been in step with our priorities . . “

Stop it! You’re killing me . . .

[Man50D]

Populism is neither left nor right.

Populism is spin for moderate which in turn is spin for socialism.

The real fissure in the Republican Party is not between centrists and conservatives. It is between the rich and the rest.

Wrong, the fissure is between Conservatives and the socialist Republican party. Conservatives don't have a problem with somebody working their way up the financial ladder. That's a socialist Democrat trait. Careful Dick you're letting your socialist Democrat class warfare thinking show through.

[longtermmemmory]

McCAin is a political wus.

The fact Operation Chaos is the topic of news and not McCain only proves McCain is irrelevant.

The republicans can now run the “inanimate carbon rod” and have the same RINO candidate.

[M203M4]

Ouch! Looks like the faux-moderates (Marxist-lite) were afraid for a few weeks, but the regular old McCain pulled through for them and drifted back to the center after spending a short time pretending to be a moderate Republican (instead of the moderate Democrat that he is).

[NathanR]

If McCain were truly a Populist, he would be against illegal immigration, instead of working for it. The “working class” is really against this, so McCain is for it. Real populist there!

[agere_contra]

He noted that it was their insatiable desire to get rich quick that led to the sub-prime frenzy that undermined sound economic growth and created a speculative bubble that had to burst.

Nonsense. Lenders were forced to make a certain percentage of bad loans or lose their licence. We can thank the Clintons for that.

[MrB]

Here’s more details on your assertion:

The Clintons, yes, but maybe not directly. They appointed this guy.

[MrB]

populism is socialism

whenever someone says they’ll use the force of government to help the masses at the expense of the “rich”

that’s socialism.

[pissant]

The only problem was that the crooks McCain went after paled in comparison to his own chicanery, by a very wide margin. But it looks more and more like we will be stuck with this lemon.

[Vio24]

Of course you realize McCain was found guilty of nothing and subsequently ran for re election and was easily re elected. Sucks when facts get in the way of trashing someone, doesn't it? I know, I know, it's not the nature of the evidence it's the seriousness of the charge....right?

[Maine Mariner]

“The real fissure in the Republican Party is not between centrists and conservatives. It is between the rich and the rest.”

Good point-I would modify it: It is between the already rich and those who are working hard to succeed (not just get by-not just do the minimium).

[calcowgirl]

Can anyone really believe in anything that Dick Morris says?

No. But he is entertaining. ;-)

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I truly am glum over McCain being the only damned choice. Its like Bob Dole all over again but we're going to get him, good and hard.

[Will88]

“Can anyone really believe in anything that Dick Morris says? Remember, Dick originally predicted that it would be Condi Rice v.s. Hillary Clinton for POTUS in ‘08.”

Yep, and he even wrote a book about it and hawked the thing all over for a few months:

It seems to have been marked down significantly, so anyone interested can pick up a copy cheap, Lol.

[calcowgirl]

I get a kick out of McCain complaining about the big payouts to CEOs
while he has Carly Fiorina (Ms. big payout, herself) stumping for him.

No double standard there! /s
