Dick Morris: ‘We Need to Stand Up Against’ Obama’s ‘Socialist Agenda’

Dick Morris (Photo Credit: FILE)
Political strategist Dick Morris’ prediction that Mitt Romney would secure a landslide victory was derailed on Tuesday night when President Barack Obama comfortably won re-election. This morning, the pundit appeared on “Fox & Friends,” where he spoke out against Obama’s “socialist” agenda and discussed yesterday’s nail-biting electoral conclusion.
“We need somebody who can reach across the aisle. Barack Obama, in many ways, doesn’t have a bipartisan bone in his body,” host Steve Doocy proclaimed.
Morris responded by diving into the numbers and claiming that, despite winning, Obama is actually in a relatively weak position when compared to other presidents who have secured second terms.
“We need to understand just how weakly this president was re-elected — by the skin of his teeth,” the political operative explained. “He is the first president of the United States ever to be re-elected by less than he got elected by…every other president who’s won a second term, gained in their margin.”
Then, Morris used this logic to explain that Obama’s re-election shouldn’t signal a mandate that the public wants him to progress with far-left policy. While he encouraged Republicans to work with the president when possible, he also called for resistance to “the socialist agenda.”
“We need to stand up against the socialist agenda and stop him from fundamentally changing the United States,” Morris continued. “I don’t think for a second that he’s going to become bipartisan in his old age.”

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 9:20amI didn’t watch the returns at all. I just couldn’t take it if Obama won, and he did. This morning Morris said Obama barely won–I’m sure that’s true, and that the win is somehow tainted–or at least purchased by the likes of George Soros et al.
I woke up with a splitting headache, dreaming that tigers were attacking me. In the dream I was all dressed up, attending a wedding with friends and family. Tigers emerged from a nearby field–and spread out to attack everyone: one headed straight for me. Before he attacked (and I woke up), he tilted his head, the way a dog would–as if he was wondering what I was–then lunged forward. This was IMHO a prophetic dream. The evil tigers do not know what we are. They are puzzled, confused–who are these people who stand against them?
So even before I turned on the TV I knew this country was doomed. The tigers are now loose–for four years–and probably more. I feel so bad for my children and grandchildren–and their children after that. This WAS the United States of America. I don’t know what it is anymore. A sad, sad day.
To un-celebrate, I think I’ll watch the movie “Idiocracy” tonight–that’s where we are going, folks. The dummies, “takers,” and liars have won. So what is the answer? What do we do next, move to the woods?

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 9:29amThe United States had its one chance to resist the socialist agenda yesterday and all this voting season.
The United States chose the socialist agenda. That chance is gone now. The country will forever be changed.
Our country perished last night. And for what? Free contraceptives? Abortion on demand? I’m only 25 years old and just watched my country destroy itself. WTH am I gonna do now?! No future. Ill likely be explaining to my children what America was like before the Marxist Revolution of 2008/2012.

Romney was the picture of no-principles, compromising, reach across the aisle. That is, was and always has been the conservative complaint against him. So called “moderates” like you should have loved the man.
From now forward, a vote for the GOP is a wasted vote.

The only problem is that in order to win the GOP nomination he had to go insanely to the right.
If he had ran as the Governor from Mass, I think he might’ve actually done better…..he didn’t do that.
He spent the entire primary running away from his record there and then at the last hour(in the general) tried to run back to his record to show “bipartisanship.”
I didn’t vote in this election(I knew who my State was going to vote for).
If I did vote, it would’ve been for Obama.
Not because I think Obama is a great President
It wouldn’t have been because I was against Romney.
It would have been because I am against the current Republican party and how they are acting.
They are arguing for a hypocritical form of government in which they can say they are fighting for liberty and small government, when in reality they’re only fighting for liberty(for people they choose) and for small government(except in the areas where they decide they love big government).
Take a look at your party, realize you went too extreme with your candidates and adjust….or you will continue to lose.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 1:14pmObama & team won this election through social issues, legalization of gay marriage, free or near free abortions at any embryo stage, funding to the providers -planned parenthood, pushing the belief that Romney/Ryan were taking away or limiting medicare through a voucher system, free contraceptives, and women were low on the list. There are many other I’ve forgotten.
Next game plan of theirs from was the prostitution of main stream media.
Impeach, and how far will that go? We just had an election, so how many will vote for that.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 9:00amHow do you stop paying your taxes when they’re taken out of your paycheck?. I don’t think it will matter anyway as no one will have a job to pay any taxe anyway by the time Obama is through with us. I predict you will continue to see unemployment rise as companies and small business shut down in the next couple of years. What a disappointment that we now have a nation with the majority of the populace wanting the government to take care of them. It’s so sad that this is what we’ve come to. Hold onto your wallet, keep buying firearms, get out of debt and don’t buy anything you don’t need.

Posted on November 7, 2012 at 8:40amHis predictions of a landslide sounded like bull to me. It didn’t seem likely. Last time Oblamer got elected they were saying the same thing. “Don’t listen to those polls – they’ve actually got it all wrong”. Of course the polling companies were dead on. And voter fraud pushed Oblamer over the top.

It is now all media which is controlled by the Left. Tweeting. Texting. Watching. Repeating .
