HILLARY GOES WEAK-KNEED ON IRAN SANCTIONS

A squishy, misguided, weak-kneed liberalism has emerged in Hillary Clinton’s comments about the kind of sanctions that would work best in halting Iran’s nuclear program. Rather than take the one step that would really be effective – cutting off the flow of refined gasoline to Iran – she instead insists that we need to [...]

URGENT APPEAL RE: MASSACHUSETTS AND OTHER STATES

Dear Dickmorris.com Reader:
Yesterday, on behalf of the the League of American Voters, I sent an urgent message to you that is repeated below.
I believe it is vitally important you read it and act on it. Many people may have missed it. If you have read it, I apologize, but I hope you can [...]

MASSACHUSETTS IS THE GAME CHANGER

Beyond a pleasing sight for the heart, what would Ted Kennedy’s seat going Republican really mean?
A lot.

THE NEXT BATTLE: STOP SOCIALISM

After Obama succeeds in jamming health care changes down the collective throats of his embattled constituents, his next move will be to bring overt socialism to the United States in the guise of regulatory reform.
The legislation he seeks to pilot through the Senate (it already passed the House) literally gives the Secretary of the Treasury [...]

SHOT HEARD ‘ROUND THE WORLD

DORGAN AND DODD QUIT SINKING SHIP

The retirements of Chris Dodd of Connecticut and Byron Dorgan of North Dakota are the latest evidence that the Democrats understand what they have done to their party by following Obama’s radical agenda. That they both lack the courage to face the music for their own roles in this debacle says more about their [...]

Published in the New York Post on January 7, 2010
Other than the H1N1 virus, the most contagious disease in our nation’s capital is retirement. The more Democrats that quit, the more others are also encouraged to hang it up.

URGENT: HELP US WIN IN MASSACHUSETTS

The Republican tide is now so strong that there is even a chance to take away the Kennedy Senate seat in Massachusetts. A January 9th survey by Public Policy Polling has Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown in a dead 48-47 heat. Rasmussen, in an earlier survey, had Coakley only 9 points [...]

THE CONSEQUENCES OF OBAMA: TERRORISM IS BACK

Rev. Jeremiah Wright said that the “chickens came home to roost” on 9-11. He was wrong. But they have now, indeed, come home to roost as we witness the results of the unilateral disarmament President Obama has practiced in the war on terror. Beset once more by terrorism on our soil and [...]

GRIFFITH’S PARTY SWITCH ILLUSTRATES THE DEATH OF MODERATE DEMOCRATS

Parker Griffith’s decision to step out of line and refuse to drink the Democratic Kool-Aid illustrates the Achilles Heel of the Democratic regime in Washington: The radical reign of Pelosi and Reid is held up by pillars of moderate and conservative Democrats who come from districts that regularly vote Republican. To survive in [...]
