More quotes by 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
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
Presidents generally do what they are good at in their first four years, then spend their second term responding to the agendas imposed upon them by events.
Dick Morris
The cost of campaigning has skyrocketed in recent years because of the falloff in TV viewership. With only one-third as many people watching TV as did 20 years ago, politicians have responded by buying three times as many ads, driving the cost of campaigning to levels which only favored candidates can afford.
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
Spin is overrated. It is strategy, not spin, that wins elections.
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
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
The Darwinian adaptive trait of our time is the ability to figure out when we are being lied to on television.
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
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
Obama's perverse view of fairness threatens to create reverse incentives, militating against growth, jobs, expansion and upward mobility.
Dick Morris
... the top 10 percent of incomes pay 70 percent of the income taxes and cast about 25 percent of the vote.
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
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
Leadership is a dynamic tension between where a politician thinks his country must go and where his voters want it to go.
Dick Morris
Spontaneous combustion of grassroots politics is the future.
Dick Morris
I love Karl Rove. He elected Bush.
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.
