More quotes by Dick Morris
I didn't do what they said I did. I may have done enough so that I don't know if I can prove my innocence.
Dick Morris
Like the battleships of old, omnibus programs present too tempting a target, too easily destroyed by a single attack, to make it through a fight.... It is through incremental change after change, step after step, that a statesman of today can vindicate a bold vision.
Dick Morris
If you're going to be a sexual predator, be a Democrat.
Dick Morris
As Bob Dole found out, you can't keep a positive image while being your party's mouthpiece in Congress. That's why no legislative leader since James Madison has ever been elected president.
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.
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
Spin is overrated. It is strategy, not spin, that wins elections.
Dick Morris
[T]he harm [Clinton AG] Reno did to American national security in the fight against terror was incalculable.
Dick Morris
A politician can do what he thinks is right, he just has to be sophisticated in how he goes about it. Those who seek a president who 'will disregard the polls and just lead,' ask for the political equivalent of 'The Charge of the Light Brigade.'
Dick Morris
The most basic decision a modern politician must make is whether to be aggressive or conciliatory.
Dick Morris
Spontaneous combustion of grassroots politics is the future.
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 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.
Dick Morris
You cannot cover the 50 million new people Obama seeks to cover without more doctors and nurses. But the administration and even the Blue Dogs in the House have proposed nothing to add to the supply of medical services even as they plan vastly to increase the demand by covering new people.
Dick Morris
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
Much of the DOE green energy lending program is a scam. It is a slush fund of pork for paying back campaign contributors.
Dick Morris
There is no substitute for a clear vision and a decisive direction.
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
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.
