More quotes by Dick Morris
The last man to try to run for president advocating a tax increase was Walter Mondale. He lost 49 states in 1984, and the I'll raise your taxes reputation haunted him all the way to Minnesota last year, where he lost his 50th state in the Senate election.

In the real world, banks hang onto their money for fear of making bad loans, no matter how many bailouts or stimulus packages Washington passes.
Dick Morris
Those crazies in Montana who say, 'We're going to kill ATF agents because the UN's going to take over' - well, they're beginning to have a case.
Dick Morris
The Iraq War marked the beginning of the end of network news coverage. Viewers saw the juxtaposition of the embedded correspondents reporting the war as it was actually unfolding and the jaundiced, biased, negative coverage of these same events in the network newsrooms.

Every donation received is a potential negative ad. Vetting money is just as important as raising it.
Dick Morris
Leadership is a dynamic tension between where a politician thinks his country must go and where his voters want it to go.
Dick Morris
The problem: Democrats have to drop their stupid class-warfare rhetoric. With 74 million Americans owning stock in one form or another, anything which helps them can't be derided as a sop to the rich.
Dick Morris
Anybody who thinks that getting a communication from a voter in your district is spam - that guy is pork. Roast pork unless he changes his point of view.
Dick Morris
The White House will run itself while the president is away. That's why he has to be sure not to be away too much.
Dick Morris
The opposing party rarely causes so much angst as does one's own.

Nothing works on the campaign trail like attacks on candidates for bad attendance. It alienates people on both sides of every issue and reflects a callous disregard of the work of the people. The feeble argument that I'm running for president isn't much of a rebuttal: George W. Bush finds time to be president, and he's running too.
Dick Morris
Growth demands investment, and investment demands stability. So the more Obama stirs the pot with his proposals and potential changes, the more he retards exactly the investment he needs to get the economy moving again.
Dick Morris
We will shortly become like Germany, France, the United Kingdom, or Sweden - a socialist democracy in which the government dominates the economy, determines private-sector priorities and offers a vastly expanded range of services to many more people at much higher taxes.
Dick Morris
Public-opinion polls show that Americans split about evenly on civil unions. But when the words 'gay marriage' are presented, they break 3-to-1 against it.
Dick Morris
Spin is overrated. It is strategy, not spin, that wins elections.
Dick Morris
I love Karl Rove. He elected Bush.
Dick Morris
I think that really, when we look at this whole process, we can come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a moderate Democrat, that fundamentally all Democrats are Democrats.
Dick Morris
Obama has had two raging successes in his term: He has slashed unemployment by persuading millions to give up hope and leave the labor force and He has cut illegal immigration by casting the United States into a permanent job shortage. Some achievements!
Dick Morris
Democrats are not about to nominate anyone who backs the tax cut, and Americans are not going to elect anyone who favors a tax increase.

There is no substitute for a clear vision and a decisive direction.
