DICK MORRIS: Investigations "Will Be Devastating For Repubs & Their Prospects In 08"

[kpete]

DICK MORRIS
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS
House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) has been a disaster and the rest of the House and Senate leadership has not been any better.

................

The Democrats, for their part, will use their new House majority to plague the administration with investigations. While the left would be appeased by investigations into why we invaded Iraq in the first place, it is financial scandals that will do the greatest damage to Bush and the Republicans.

............

The last two years of the Bush administration will most closely resemble the Clinton years, where scandal after scandal after scandal battered the president’s image and ratings. But, unlike the GOP assault on Clinton, the Democrats will stay on financial issues rather than stray into the personal. The results will be devastating for the Republicans and their prospects in 2008.

To contain the damage and to develop a counteroffensive, the Republicans need good leaders in the House and to bring in a McConnell-Lott team in the Senate. Otherwise, a President Hillary will be waiting in the wings.

1. "The results will be devastating for the Republicans ...

... and their prospects in 2008."

Gee, too bad you guys didn't weigh the consequences BEFORE you fucked everything up, instead of cryin' about it after the fact.

[Sapere aude]

2. unlike the GOP assault on Clinton, the Dems will not have to manufacture scandals.

[Tatiana]

3. How did that swine get his own column?

I agree, though, that we're going to see scandal after scandal come to light. John Dean was indeed correct when he said this administration is "Worse than Watergate."

4. Oh REALLY?

We didn't know that Dick...:eyes:

:rofl: I can't WAIT for the investigations to start!

[ThomCat]

5. Don't try to change sides again, asswipe!

Trying to sound like he hasn't been a cheerleader for the GOP. x(

[Tellurian]

6. How Many Will Be Left Standing?

The Repugs have nary a senator or representative untainted by some form of scandal.

Who will be left in Congress in the Republican Party?

[Demeter]

7. The GOP Devastated Our Prospects First

Mine is one of many now-defunct businesses that was going just fine before Bush stole the first election and his buddies crashed the economy and let the terrorists blow up the towers.

Cry me a river. You guys have NO prospects.

[NNN0LHI]

8. Apparently the toe sucker lurks at DU n/t

[shrdlu]

9. Scandal after scandal? What bullshit...

But it is good to see Morris hanging out with the repubs.

[rpannier]

10. Considering how his track record for predictions has been over the past 2 years

This is good news for the republikkans.
This guy is wrong almost as often as scrub is.

[David Zephyr]

12. Even a clock is right twice a day.

You made me laugh because you have it so correct that typically a Morris prediction is predictably wrong. However, maybe like a clock, he has this one right.

Investigations can't help the GOP, that's for sure.

11. Dick Morris, pretending to be Nostradamus n/t

13. "...scandal after scandal battered the president’s image..."

The last two years of the Bush administration will most closely resemble the Clinton years, where scandal after scandal after scandal battered the president’s image and ratings. But, unlike the GOP assault on Clinton, the Democrats will stay on financial issues rather than stray into the personal. The results will be devastating for the Republicans and their prospects in 2008.

Also unlike the GOP assault on Clinton is the fact that the current occupant goes into this investigatory phase with his ratings stuck in the 30's.

The lame dick might just hit the teens after the rocks are all turned over.

[gratuitous]

14. Gee Dick, ya think so?

As has already been said, it might have served the Republicans a little better to have thought about this BEFORE they committed all their crimes. Or did they really believe all their own hogwash about being a permanent majority?

Go suck a toe, Dick.
