      Dick Morris sees himself as a man of unquestioned integrity.
      Ask any Prostitute on the street and they will confirm this with some Jocularity.
      Dick also sees himself as a Political Animal.
      I bet most Prostitutes will say he behaves more like a Perverted Cannibal.

      Speak truth to power.

        Ya know, Bad News, becoming like the very persons we revile doesn't help forward the debate. Tone down the rhetoric. There is ample evidence to get these bigots without treading in the gutter yourself.

      "Dick" Morris is a sniviling (sp?) weasel. He's been right about nothing. I wish he'd go away, but I don't think my wish will be granted anytime soon.

      Dick Morris says the League of American Voters is the "the number one group today fighting Obama Care, they deserve your support.

      Dick is the League's chief strategist - and actually crafted our ads and national campaign.



      Wow... #1, if he does say so himself. What an endorsement!

      Another manifesto against the heinous plot to get everyone affordable health care. La dee da. You're going to get it whether you like it or not. And you senior citizens (that includes you mom & dad) better stop relying on Dick and friends for information or else no more visits with the grandkids at Christmas.

        Yeah, Vincenzo, doesn't it crack you up, the things wingnuts are terrified of?

        "'Kennedy's departure may in fact increase the chances that we get a more sweeping health care bill,' American Enterprise Institute analyst Norman Ornstein recently told CNN."

        Scary!


        Just in case the reader was dozing off.. Hey !!! Scary !!!!! lol, they should have added a little ghost or a skeleton.

        Is it because of that 'War on No More Christmas Panel' or the 'Christmas Death Book' which lists which kids can live and which will die??

        Is there a Death Panel for Toe Suckers?

          That's a whole different topic..the death list kept by that extreme liberal (and socialist) Santa. If you're naughty you're a goner.

      This week, Ted Kennedy, the great liberal icon, has passed away.
      And, unfortunately health care for all didn't die with him.
      Please help me defeat the evil of health care for all.
      SEND MONEY NOW!!!!

      Nothing like just laying it out there in public view.

      We cannot allow government to run the health care system like they do the Post Office!
      (And the School System! And the Police department! And the Fire department! And the Libraries! And the Highways! And the ON AND ON… ad infinitum! thinkingblue)
      We must continue this battle.
      (WTF, battle are they talking about… THE BATTLE AGAINST TRYING TO LOWER HEALTH-CARE COSTS SO EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO GET GOOD HEALTH INSURANCE. Anyone listening to AH’s like Dick (like we need another Republican Dick) needs to trade in their sheep-like brain for a practical judgment type of one. thinkingblue)
      As I write this, the League has to firm up its TV ad buys for the next two weeks. We have already raised over $1.3 million. But we need to raise $5 million to kill off Obama Care.
      (Of course they can raise lots and lots of money… It’s the wealthy Health-Care Industry that is backing them because they want to stop the prospect of a public option in order to continue with their greedy quest to bilk the average American out of more money while delivering less health care.thinkingblue)
      We need your urgent help to make this happen – Dick Morris says the League of American Voters is the "the number one group today fighting Obama Care, they deserve your support."
      (Giving them your support is like kicking the S**T out of your neighbor and then taking them to the EMERGENCY ROOM for care because they can’t afford health-care insurance. There your neighboe will wait for hours, suffering and bleeding because the health-care employees must see hundreds before him who also don’t have health-care insurance!!! Maybe that will give you enough time to regret kicking the S**T out of your neighbor in the first place. thinkingblue)
      Dick is the League's chief strategist - and actually crafted our ads and national campaign.
      (He’s taking acknowledgment for being a health-care lobbyist…? Man oh man, what a DICK! thinkingblue)
      We are having a tremendous effect.
      Help us continue
      (TO PIED PIPER ALL, DOWN THE ROAD TO HELL! thinkingblue)

      Out of curiosity, how much of the money that's contributed through this appeal goes into The Dick's pocket?

      Morris has overthought this. TK passing may serve to embolden the Socialist-progressives but for the most part they are already on board. The man on the street can distinquish between ted kennedy and his more noble brothers.

      Maybe the reason the groups backing 'Obama Care' are outspending this little troll is that HE and his folks don't have to pay for air time; they get free 24/7 coverage on Fox TV and Radio!

      As for his claim that Kennedy wouldn't have gotten the care that he did - weren't these folks pushing the story that Stephen Hawking would have been dead long ago if he'd been under a plan like Great Britain's?

      (note: as a Brit, Dr. Hawking HAS been in the British plan)

      Is anyone, besides Fox, putting this little troll on the air?
