Dick Morris Calls Ron Paul ‘The Most Liberal, Radical Left-Wing Person to Run for President’

If you ever get the chance to ask regular Fox commentator (and former Democratic strategist) Dick Morris what he thinks about Ron Paul, make sure you have a camera or a microphone close. That’s because after what he said last night (and in the past) about Paul on “The O’Reilly Factor,” he’s likely to give you quite a quote.
Morris didn’t hold back at all when fill-in host Eric Bolling asked him about the presidential candidate.
After calling Ron Paul’s rise in the polls recently “horrible,” he let loose: “I think that he is absolutely the most liberal, radical left-wing person to run for president in the United States in the last 50 years.”
He then noted all the ways in which Paul is more liberal than Barack Obama, including saying “we caused 9/11“ and wanting to ”dismantle the military.”
“This guy is no conservative. This guy is a ultra, ultra left-wing radical,” he concluded.
You can listen to it all below:

Seriously?
Desperation. How does a democrap get on Faux News and make these comments… oh yea. I know why.
Because Faux News carries Obama’s water and there are no real conservatives on Faux news except maybe Judge Napolitano. The entire mainstream media is left-leaning. Fox claims to be center-right (but they carry Obama’s water), MSNBC is unabashedly leftist, CNN tries to perpetrate as center-left but they’re definitely leftist. Neocons are liberals’ folks.
Overall the media is in the pocket of Obama. Neocons at Fox would rather have Obama over Ron Paul because Obama will continue Neocon Bush’s preemptive War Strategy under the transparent camoflage called Humanitarian Aid.
Period. Neocons DO NOT CARE about our economy. “WAR WAR WAR—Screw the Economy” is their mantra.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 10:31amCheck out http://www.conservative.org. The ACU has been ranking our politicians voting records for decades. Ron Paul does not have the most conservative record in any given year (there’s always several that score 100%) but he is consistently in the 90′s. To say that he is “left” in any widely accepted meaning of the word is patently false.
Is he radical? I would say yes. On some issues does he agree with liberals? Yes. But even in these areas his reasons are very different from liberal ideology (i.e. motivated by fiscal conservatism and/or personal freedom). Is his foreign policy naive? In the extreme! But for Dick to call the man liberal is very misleading. IMO he’s done himself and his employer a disservice.

“Question to you Paulites: I have been wondering if your insulting nature is possible o go towards Obama? I want proof if so. Yes I want the same insults right now at Obama. What do you really think of him?”
Obama is intent on destroying this country because, as he said in a recent speech, he doesn’t believe in free markets. He is a globalist intent on violating the rule of law to subjugate Americans to a world government. He is a traitor and deserves to be tried as such, and then to have Congress sentence him to death (Congress gets to choose the punishment, though).
Yes, us Paulites know that four more years of Obama would be desasterous, but what you fail to realize is that the Republican Party has abandoned their Republican principles for a Leftist interventionist foreign policy and for protectionist economic policies (thus giving Capitalism a bad name).
They also see no problem with the Fed, which we Paulites understand is the source of power for big government; And one of the main flips the Republicans have made in foreign policy is from non-interventionism to interventionism.
See here.

One of the things people often miss, dismiss,outright disregard, and ignore is the FACT that the government has ADVANCED ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES that are being deliberately suppressed or reserved for the Military and Continuity of Government (Shadow Government).
We could have the energy crisis solved overnight. If I personally, just me by myself, had something in the range of a few hundred thousand to a million dollars at my disposal, I could have the entire United States completely energy independent in less than a YEAR.
If Ron Paul is elected, I think he will whip out some of those suppressed technologies to give the US an energy advantage that cannot be superceded.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 1:48pmYes it matters. Our future is on the line here. Why is it that you so vehemently oppose Mr. Paul when you most likely know nothing more than what you have heard in the mainstream media about him. Recently I too had to stop and questioned what I knew about Ron Paul and his values and decided that as a honest patriot I must take an in depth and honest look at what Ron Paul stands for, as I did with Romney, Newt and Obama. To my surprise I only find a patriot with opinions that closely match my own moderate beliefs maybe a little farther right than I might go, but closer to mine than that of any of the establishment politicians. Yes he appears radical on the surface, but when one takes the time to weigh the meaning of his thoughts we find that they are not so unrealistic. Please don’t take my words for anything, just stop for a short while and take an honest look at all candidates before you continue your blind ignorant attacks. We cannot afford to continue down the path we are now on with social and global spending at its present levels we must if we are going to survive as a nation get back to our constitution.

To the far left progs and socialists he can run on his record of “accomplishments” but he won’t dare do that and risk highlighting it again for the vast majority of Americans. To bring this back to the point of the RNC, Obama is precisely the reason people support Dr. Paul.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 2:38pmOn its Centennial, the Republican Party again calls to the minds of all Americans the great truth first spoken by Abraham Lincoln: “The legitimate object of Government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do, for themselves in their separate and individual capacities. But in all that people can individually do as well for themselves, Government ought not to interfere.”
Our great President Dwight D. Eisenhower has counseled us further: “In all those things which deal with people, be liberal, be human. In all those things which deal with people’s money, or their economy, or their form of government, be conservative.”
We will ever fight the demoralizing influence of inflation as a national way of life. We are proud to have fulfilled our 1952 pledge to halt the skyrocketing cost of living that in the previous 13 years had cut the value of the dollar by half, and robbed millions of the full value of their wages, savings, insurance, pensions and social security.
We have balanced the budget. We believe and will continue to prove that thrift, prudence and a sensible respect for living within income applies as surely to the management of our Government’s budget as it does to the family budget.
We hold that the major world issue today is whether Government shall be the servant or the master of men. We hold that the Bill of Rights is the sacred foundation of personal liberty.

“Other than his stance on Roe v. Wade and the Federal Reserve, Ron Paul positions are the correct ones.”
His stance on Roe v. Wade is that the federal government has no say regarding what the states choose to do about crime, including murder, which includes abortion. Each state should decide what their abortion laws should be.
He is personally against abortion because it’s murder, but he knows that you don’t solve a problem like this by giving more power to a central government, because that power can always be abused later, if representatives of which you don’t approve get into power.
Regarding his position on the Federal Reserve, please watch this.

Conservatives are least likely to intervene in domestic issues or foreign issues. Conservatives are the most reserve and believe the least amount of Government possible (Government Intervention) the better.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 5:12pmDick Morris…what the hell does it matter what MORRIS said? I wouldn’t call Paul a left-tist radical, I’d identify him as a right-wing radical; but the other items Morris acclaimed is EXACTLY what Paul has pointed in the DEBATES. He does wish to dismantle the military, Four years ago in the CNN debate he let his position be known to remove the FBI, He has spoken on the issue to take the Amsterdam apporoach with legalizing certian drugs, he debates legalizing “coke” and pot will reduce crime on the border and migrant states.
Report Post »The individuals who are the base for Mr Paul need to explore his comments a great deal further and cease with the mob mentality of excuses to “vote for him because my friend is voting for him”
I think he would be reasonable and NOT DO ANYTHING the Constitution wouldn’t allow for, i think he could put together a good cabinet that also supports our Constitution, but dont be dismissive to the comments he has made and his stance on the items which would diqualify him otherwise. And if you people think Iran is not going to forward a nuke express mail to Israel when they have it…you’e simply uninformed and choosing to stay that way. Iran and Islam is the opposition to all things and their goal is Americas destruction, and pacifying Iran is not an option.
Paul people refuse to use their intellect instead of emotions and that practice is exactly what elected Obama.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 5:20pmSimply remember what Glenn Beck showed us in regards to Progressives, they love playing the word game and they do so to move the masses in the direction they need them to go.
Each time Government intervenes whether in social policy, fiscal policy, or foreign policy it costs you money thru taxes we will pay to operate Government.
Conservatives are not reckless with their money and are very cautious about what they spend it on and that is why ‘CONSERVE’ is the root of the word Conservative.
The more a person decides to spend money the less conservative they are and the more Liberal with money they are.
Apply that to Government: the more Government (tax dollars) the more “liberal” you are. The less Government (tax dollars) the more conservative you are.
Ron Paul is clearly the most Conservative hands down.
According to Dick, the more you spend (more Government) the more conservative you are and shows the evil manipulating tricks both Dick and Fox are playing with you. Both are trying to Progress you past what a true Conservative really is.
I encourage you all to simply think about it with your own money. Are you conservative by freely blowing all your money or saving it….

I MOST CERTAINLY agree with the initial elements of the link… 1) drug addicts reach a position where their ability to resist is disable. 2) Drug pushers are the greatest threat to the continuation of illegal drug sales and the deterioration of effected factions of American society.
Needless to say, the extended offering of this thesis is without merit for reason to legalize.Think about this:
The issue here is consequences of judgment as it pertains to the crime.
Pushers are effectively murderers (someone dies everyday as a result of their work)
…so lets take violent criminals i.e., murderers, violent rapist, pedophilia and drug pushers and place them in prison TOGETHER separately from white collar criminals. We start with 100 convicts, give them every conceivable freeby necessary to enjoy life….and remove ALL THE PRISON GUARDS. Prisoners will enact judgment upon themselves. Each month when the population drops below 50, we restock.
Report Post »the same effect here would be equal to the movie MINORITY REPORT….violent crime would almost cease,….drugs sales would plumment. Prisoners do the same with pushers what they do with pediphiles and rapist,… every prisoner that has ever done drugs knows who got them started and why they are in prison and they enact revenage.
So the issue isn’t legalizing drugs, its enacting punishment that reduces the behavior. This could be an reality TV show that actually works for America

His position to legalize drugs in Amsterdam as significantly reduced grad rates, employment for under 30, spiked unwed prenancies, increased larceny, vandalism violent crimes SINCE the adaption,… they maintain the law for what it does for tourism which IS the only business of Amsterdam– otherwise they have no GNP.
As I said before, he will NOT DO ANYTHING the Constitution wouldn’t allow– I trust him at his word there….but there are some serious holes in this man’s armor that must be measured. I come from Texas…Ron Paul has been around awhile and has many years of inconsistancy to be observed.

I consider myself a libertarian, not a republican, but I’ll attempt to answer your question. The government of Iran has a long history of stating that they are going to destroy us and destroy Israel, our ally. North Korea has certainly made some troubling statements…. but nothing like Iran. Iran also has a history of funding terrorism and arming/funding those attacking us (especially in Iraq). There’s evidence they are currently funding terrorists to attack us on our own soil. This is not true for North Korea. Iran sits in the middle east, a very volatile region. If Iran gets nukes, Saudi Arabia arguably needs to have them, as does Iraq. It adds to the instability of a region that is already very unstable (don’t forget they border Pakistan). Again, this is not true for N. Korea which is bordered by China and South Korea with Japan to the east.
Also, attacking N. Korea would almost certainly affect our relationship with China… and not in a good way. How would we feel if China invaded Mexico to keep them from developing nukes?
I could go on but, in short, the situation with N. Korea is very different than the situation with Iran.
Should we go to war with Iran to keep them from getting nukes? The answer really depends on whether you take them at their word or not. What if they’re telling the truth? What if they really are going to use them on us? If that is given as a premise, do you think we should launch a preemptive strike to preve

The US has been playing world policeman for 50 years now and our $700 billion military budget is bankrupting the country. What have we acheived? We supported a coup in 1953 that installed the Shah in Iran, which eventually led to the 1979 revolution. We supported Saddam Hussein in his war against Iran. We supported the Mujahadeen & Osama Bin Laden in their war against the Russians in Afghanistan. We supported Mubarak in Egypt. We support the completely corrupt Saudi regime where 17 of the 19 hijackers were from and the Wahabbis spew the most radical form of Islam. Our constant meddling in the middle east directly caused 9/11. Read Osama Bin Laden’s own words. He attacked us because we stationed troops in Saudia Arabia. If the Russians or China were bombing the US, invading our country and had bases in Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, what do you think we would do? Would you just sit back and do what they say? We are doing the same thing to the middle east. We kill innocent people with nearly every drone strike. We spent over $1 trillion dollars invading and occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, for what? What have we gained? Nothing but dead US soldiers. Iraq is a disaster and we installed a corrupt Karzai in Afghanistan. The US foreign policy has to change and only Ron Paul will change it.

Even on a presentation level, his appearance, voice etc, he comes off as odd (I understand this is not relevant, but it is at the ballot box).
Most conservatives would be much more comfortable with a Thomas Sowell style conservative (a strong Constitutionalist as well) rather than Rep. Paul.

The progressives on both side of the isles hate Paul because he isn’t far left like they all are becoming. And the real proof is now Dick morris and his ilk are breaking out the race card. Claiming Paul is racist because he believes Israel should handle their own business. He also believes that as long as America has to borrow money to cover the budget deficit it shouldn’t be shelling out billions in foriegn aid. Paul is a true Conservative and Constitutionalist. The biggest problem with that is our forefathers never had the foresight to imagine a weapon that would level cities and lay lands to waste for decades. nor should they have. Pauls economics idea are great,most of his views on downsizing government are great. I do think gingrich is right about the courts and ideological judges appointed by politicians. Paul’s only weakness is lack of foresight and his belief that Islamist will not use nuclear weapons if they have them.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 9:52am@smith I respect your opinion and that you have put thought behind it. However I must disagree. The Founding Fathers may not have been able to predict the kind of weaponry that would be available but they predicdted people with incredible accuracy. Please remember that it was the christians who were the jihadists in the middle ages and did just as much damage as the weapons of today (percentage wise) would do. It simply took a little longer. There is nothing that people are thinking of today that has not been thought of before. The Founders knew this and put those policies into place because while technology may change, people don’t. The principles are as sound today as they ever were.

I agree with everything you said however the tricky part comes in the how do we prevent them from acquiring a Nuke. Dr. Paul says use Diplomats. I agree. Will it work? Probably not but genuine diplomacy is the starting point. Don‘t say we’ve already tried that because we’ve not. If that doesn’t work then light sanctions with continued genuine diplomacy is the next step.
If that fails which it probably will, the next step would be is to convey in the strongest possible terms that if Iran ever decided to use a Nuke as an aggressor that their Nation will be annihilated. I see no other viable options.
War is not an option. I feel that American’s have become far too comfortable with War. War in which there are no costs to the average American. No one likes a bully and that is what America has become.
That’s one conversation. Another conversation I’d like to have is why do we choose to have as an ally a Nation with a plan raze American cities with Nuclear warheads? Don’t feign ignorance on the topic now. I’ve brought it up many times and it’s there for the world to see. It’s called the Samson option. Now even the Iranian President doesn’t have a plan to wipe out American cities does he? lol

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 9:03amWow–I’m surprised he feels THAT strongly or that way about Ron Paul. IMO, Ron has some conservative economic viewpoints, but is VERY off on foreign policy as well as other ideas–and I agree that THOSE Paul viewpoints are NOT Conservative.
To me, Paul seems to be a mix of conservatism and liberalism, disguised as “freedom-loving“ and ”libertarianism.” He’s truly difficult to define politicially, IMO. He seems to be the most different from any of the other candidates. His supporters see that in a positive way while those who see his off ideas for what they are (a bit whacko) see this “difference” in a most negative way.
Again, I‘m surprised at Morris’ rather strong remarks and reaction to Ron Paul. I know he liked Herman Cain while recently giving good words about Gingrich and has said he’ll be working with Cain on his “outside political ventures.” I like Morris, but I don’t quite “get” him. But I guess like the rest of us, he’s entitled to his opinions!

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 11:01amI would like to hear from Ron Paul how isolationism helped the US in the past. The War of 1812 springs to mind as well as the dust up in the Mediterranean with Muslims demanding taxes and taking hostages right after we became America. Some people think that isolationism only makes things worse because when the dogs of war are turned loose, a state of unpreparedness increases casualties on both sides. Pacifism caused Europe to ignore Germany rearming. Being neutral involves not being worth the trouble to attack or being able to avoid coercion into alignment with one of the belligerents. If the Sunnis offer us oil, what are we going to do? We already aligned with the Sunni against the Shiite during the Iran Iraq war. I doubt that we could mobilize quickly even to save the country if we needed to rearm. We would have to wade through our own Fifth Column of eco-freaks and peaceniks at home just to get the energy and build the infrastructure. In a nuclear world, that time to build is shorter if not impractical. If Israel attacks all of its surrounding belligerents, the air will be so full of Plutonium, Strontium and other radioactive particles, it will seem silly to think that we had no dog in that fight.

Remember that prior to the rise of the progressive way of thinking (or not thinking, if you like), the overwhelming majority of Americans were politically “classical liberal” which we now call “libertarian”.
They’ve done a real number on us, and I don’t think the disease can be cured now, without a total collapse of the system.

It hasn’t.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 2:53pmCrazy- I am a conservative. Stop trying to believe that because I don’t want endless war, that I’m a liberal.
Why don’t you show me where and when the constitution, or the founders of this nation, stated that our national goals should be driven by spending money to DEFEND OTHER NATIONS BORDERS?
Why is it that we can’t defend our own borders, but you’re gung-ho to defend other nation’s borders?
If you want to be safe, how about we stop spreading our forces film-thin, and bring them to where they would keep US safe?
How has all that interventionism worked out? Is the world better, or worse than it was? Worse you say? Strange.

Of course, all the above link is, is nothing more than a comprehensive record of every vote he ever cast.
Ron Paul hits the nail on the head on almost every single issue that a Beckian or a Tea Partier stands for. What’s not to like? That he doesn’t want to invade Iran? Do you really thing Obama or any of the republican clones of Obama will invade Iran? Of course not. The Israelis will bomb the hell out of them while we idly stand by. Just as we have done for 50 years now. The other guys talk the talk, but NEVER walk the walk? Don’t believe me? “North Korea”.

Actually, since Beck employees people to scour the comments and remove comments that violate the site’s TOS, in fact you can place the blame on him IF you followed the reasoning of the person I was addressing. I do not follow that reasoning, ergo, I don’t actually blame Beck, I was simply pointing out what was going on.
Further, I didn’t only point out the comments area on the Blaze, I also mentioned articles posted by Blaze reporters. Again though, only as a counter point to show how collective guilt works.

Posted on December 29, 2011 at 12:38pmI thought Paul just wants the federal government out of the war on drugs and let the states decide for themselves. This is how we did it for the 1st 160 years. Alcohol is regulated county by county in some places, I suppose that’s what the people in the county think is best for them. God forbid we have the government closer to the people for the people. Who are these people that are always telling everybody what’s best for them. For Pete’s sake I cant even go to the store without worrying about wearing my seatbelt, it could cost me $100.00 and a record to boot. Enough is enough, I want my Freedom and Liberty back.

Report Post »The Republican National Committee pulled a dirty trick on Paul. According to the Times, Paul was running for Congress against fellow Republican Greg Laughlin, whom he eventually defeated in a runoff. During the campaign, an Austin marketing company called people and asked respondents who favored Paul if they would still support him knowing that he was in favor of legalizing drugs, pornography and prostitution. The real truth, the Times noted, was this: “Dr. Paul said he only favored repeal of Federal laws on drugs, pornography and prostitution, leaving states to prohibit them.”

You are being intellectually dishonest when you equate the comments section of this website with the content section of a newsletter. Glenn Beck is only responsible for the content section of this website, not the comment section….similarly ron paul is responsible for the content section of his newsletter, not the comment section(which it had none, obviously, being a newsletter). Ron Paul has faults, he is a man. It is the refusal of paul supporters to acknowledge his legitimate faults that make it seem as if they elevate him above the status of a man, that turns so many people off. It is this “faultless man who is the only one who can save the nation” attitude that is reminiscent of obama drones.

They’re also both huge into conventional wisdom, which is no longer so “conventional”.
Basically, to say Ron Paul does not have conservative roots is asinine and completely stupid. And, this was only said because Ron Paul is bucking that “conventional” trend. If you think Gringrich or Romney or Perry are true conservatives, then that word has lost its original meaning.
It’s another classic – RINO’s calling Ron Paul liberal. Oh, that’s rich.

They then feed you their spin on him, and it’s off to the races.
