Quotes by Dick Morris
Conservative
- Words of Wisdom
"Spontaneous combustion of grassroots politics is the future."
"America never loses wars on battlefields. We lose
them in the streets, at home, when people turn against a foreign war."
"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."
"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."
"The combination of taxes and labor protections has left France with an economy that creates very few jobs and grows at a snail's pace, if at all."
"The Democratic Party opposes tax cuts but it cannot say so publicly. Thus, it is forced to support the idea of lowering the tax burden but using class warfare rhetoric to dispute the allocation of the relief."
"In criminal investigations, one can target a suspect and get a warrant to investigate him. But this deductive approach is a limited instrument in fighting terror. An inductive approach, in which one gathers a mass of evidence and looks for patterns, is far more useful."
"But on abortion, the only thing liberals and conservatives agree on is that they can't stand those who would flip-flop on this moral issue, adjusting not only to the political winds but also to the geographic area in which they are running at the moment.
"While the United States was built to absorb people from other lands, France was never designed to accommodate immigrants. Its system was built only for the French."
"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."
"WHY do you think France, Russia and China sided with Saddam Hussein in the United Nations Security Council against the invasion of Iraq? Because their support was bought and paid for by the Iraqi dictator."
"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 (except LBJ, who ran as president after succeeding JFK)."
"Americans will gladly support their president when he attacks nations that sponsor or harbor terrorists. We will even back him in a preemptive war against a country that might attack us. But when we start sending troops around the world to stabilize nations that, if left to disintegrate, might become breeding grounds for terror, it's a step too far for most Americans."
"Equally irresponsible is the criticism Democrats are leveling at President Bush for his use of National Security Agency wiretaps to catch terrorists. Before Clinton and Schumer criticize this policy, they'd do well to reflect on the fact that the Brooklyn Bridge might well be rubble, with thousands dead, if Bush did not use these wiretaps."
"While the United States was built to absorb people
from other lands, France was never designed to accommodate immigrants.
Its system was built only for the French. For many, the system seems ideal.
French men and women get free health care and education. Almost all employees
get the same kind of job security against dismissal we only give our civil
servants. Workers are guaranteed extensive vacation, good pay, and limits
on the work week."
