Dick "Shrimper" Morris predicts: "GOP will win House, Senate"


GOP will win House, Senate

Stanley Greenberg and James Carville claim that the Republican Party has peaked too soon.

Stanley Greenberg and James Carville claim that the Republican Party has peaked too soon. Incredibly, Greenberg says that “when we look back on this, we’re going to say Massachusetts is when 1994 happened.” Stan’s only claim to expertise in the 1994 elections, of course, is that he’s the guy who blew it for the Democrats. Right after that, President Clinton fired both of the flawed consultants and never brought them back again.

Their latest pitch is that the highpoint of the GOP advance was the Scott Brown election and that, from here on, things will “improve slightly” for the Democrats.

Once again, Carville and Greenberg are totally misreading the public mood. Each time the Republican activists battle, they become stronger. Their cyber and grass roots grow deeper. The negatives that attach to so-called “moderate” Democratic incumbents increase. And each time Obama, Reid and Pelosi defy public opinion and use their majorities to ram through unpopular legislation, frustration and anger rise.

Were Obama’s ambitions to slacken, perhaps a cooling-off might eventuate. But soon the socialist financial takeover bill will come on the agenda, followed by amnesty for illegal immigrants, cap-and-trade and card-check unionization. Each bill will trigger its own mobilization of public opposition and add to the swelling coalition of opposition to Obama and his radical agenda.

And, all the while, the deficit will increase, interest rates will rise and unemployment will remain high.

"Thanks for your cute little con-spin election predickty, Dickie. This really helps promulgate the propaganda (smirk).

"So by way of payback, and knowing that you share our Wide Stance on Family (smirk) Values, we are inviting you to join us and our other Republicon 'Pillars of Integrity' (smirk) at our very next next G.O.P. Faux Diaper Bondage Bash."

9. I need to find the woman I saw years ago at the public swimming pool
Both of her big toes flopped when she walked. Those should be perfect for Morris to suck on.

3. This is the guy who was absolutely sure 2008 was going to be "very, very close..."
...he's not paid to say anything that isn't hyper-partisan.

5. Dick Morris is so unabashedly for only Dick Morris
Edited on Sat Apr-10-10 11:14 AM by Gman
he will say anything that will make him more money. Few appreciate as much as Morris the monetary value in throwing bloody red meat to the nuts. He laughs all the way to the bank as they syndicate his column more and more.

6. Dick Morris also predicted that Hillary would be the nominee like two weeks
before she conceded.

He also had Obama winning Arkansas, Louisiana, and much of the South in 2008.

Dick Morris is worthless.

7. It's possible
It's also possible it'll snow in August in Texas this year.

I have my doubts on both scenarios, all the same.........

8. The republicans are so desperate
they think if they constantly hype this it will come true. They know full well only the loud mouthed tea bags and radical republicans who scream and yell and spew and are given time by the MSM to vent their poison are the ones who are saying this. They know that this country is not ready for a return to the dictatorial reign of a republican. Who ruined this country, by sending all our jobs overseas, starting an uncalled for war for oil, killing millions of Iraqi and thousands of Americans. They know cheney's deals with the oil companies caused the horrendous rise in fuel and gasoline prices. The American have short memories, but the live every day with the results of this mess bush and his republican cohorts in congress did and they are about to go back to that mess.

10. Dick Morris is a bigger whore than anyone whose toe he ever sucked.
Look at him, dealing out every GOP talking point that his new Fox masters would want him to, "socialist takeover", "radical agenda", like he never worked for a Democrat before.

And it's laughable for him to criticize "failed, flawed consultants" who got fired by Clinton. Seems like he might be leaving someone out of that category.

13. Fantastic! The Toesucker is ALWAYS wrong.
I read an article a few years back that examined Morris' predictions about future political events.

He got NOTHING right.

14. I just finished reading a book about the 1996 election and
it disturbed me greatly how much Morris was involved with the Clinton White House. The thought the toe sucker would have any clout at all with Bill Clinton has completely changed my opinion of Clinton.
