Can barely stand to listen to this man....but wanted to know what he is telling the teabaggers to think.


Dick Morris says the GOP targeted shutdowns are:

US Foreign Aid

PBS, Endowments for Arts and Humanity

Cancel Obamacare

Roll Medicaid spending back and give it to States

Takeover the Schools

Take Power Away from Unions


Says Scott Walker and Rick Scott are the new American heroes.


Says Democrats are scared to death.

What say YOU?

Call your Representatives and tell them you aren't scared, you are MAD!


:mad:

1. On the topic of foreign aid, I notice he didn't mention how much we give to Israel
More than all those other countries he mentioned COMBINED.

5. They won't even talk about that
and its all Obama's fault, just try having Obama defend multi billion dollar cuts in defense now that has us involved in three wars... he made his bed and he is making us lie in it... thats why the Pukes are having a field day they know they can target social programs and leave their MIC funding alone and Obama and most Democrats won't say a word...

6. Yep, and no mention of that ...
"$549 billion in 2011 is just the starting point for calculating military dollars. Adding in war spending ($159 billion), homeland defense ($44 billion), Veterans Affairs ($122 billion), interest on defense-related debt ($48 billion) and other items pushes the total to more than $1 trillion a year.

In constant dollars, adjusted for inflation, the regular military budget, not including the add-ons, has doubled from a low of about $360 billion in 1998 to more than 739 billion in 2011. It's so much money that, as the Bipartisan Policy report points out, by 2009 US spending on military research and development alone, about $80 billion, surpassed China's entire military budget by more than $10 billion. The budget for the US Special Forces alone is greater than the total military spending of nearly 100 countries; overall, the United States spends about as much on defense as the rest of the world combined."

7. NPR federal funding comparison
I used this in an exchange today, because the bonehead just wasn't getting the ratio.

You run a company that has $26 Million in annual sales. You are cutting costs and find that the secretaries have been spending $1 from petty cash EVERY WEEK on candy for the waiting room. Not a necessary expenditure (we may all agree), so you spent hours discussing this completely unnecessary expense. Gotta start somewhere! In fact, there must be MANY of these $1 items that you can cut.

Same proportion, same ridiculous assumption that there can be enough of these to make a difference. Company is in the red, and this is what the board needs to hear because every frivolous expense must be addressed. $1 a week now successfully slashed from the expense side. Wooooo hoooooooooo!

8. Does anyone remember who Morris used to work for? Bill Clinton, another good democrat! Following
the 1994 midterms Clinton hired this parasite. Morris taught Clinton about triangulation, a major reason we're in the economic condition we are now.

11. I think he is just plain evil with a BIG grudge for anything Clinton. That
chip on his shoulder should be overbearing but he is putting on weight so I guess it will just get bigger if that is possible.

12. Morris has been described as America's most ruthless
political consultant in the BBC documentary Century of the Self Episode 4.
