Dick Morris: What Many Polls Are Missing

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

If you're clinging to Dick Morris, you may as well accept that it's over.

He's that bad.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Had Bush not totally crashed during the first debate, his lead would have been virtually undisturbed.

The effect of the bin Laden tape and the 2000 DUI is overstated to excuse Bush under-performance. Bush was greatly assisted by the genuine last-minute undecideds, not Kerry.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

The Libyan intervention had more to do with Atlanticism than anything else, but I guess that it's all globalism to you, brother.

Me?  No.  What bothers me is the changing story about Libya, the serial and the attacks on about 20 embassies since then.

I've generally given Obama high marks on foreign police, but he blew this latest crisis.

What could Obama have done that would have been better than having 30,000 Libyans storm the extremist's compound?

Exactly, stuff happens that can't be controlled. The degree to which sane Libyans tried to help those in the Embassy and the storming of the extremists compound is one of the strongest signs how what JJ is saying is rubbish.

This is the key cognitive dissonance with this issue. Saying that this movie was deeply, deeply offensive is not apologizing for it, no one did. The only purpose of the film was to garner that kind of response.

I just want to chime in how disappointed I am with Obama's failure to stand strong with Israel. These turn of events have completely negated his foreign policy achievements from 2009-2011 IMHO. I worry about our foreign policy being as poor as our domestic policy if Obama gets four more years. In any case, we're in big trouble if Obama gets back in.

What a frustratingly ridiculous thing to say, Bibi has been very complementary of his interaction with Obama. What does 'standing strong with Israel' even mean?

What is your point? Do you think you're going to change minds with baseless talking points? The only support you have is right-wing paranoia about an Obama that doesn't exist. You're more than welcome to believe it, but if he's re-elected, I'll look forward to hearing which candidate you're going to inflict your support upon next.

Obama is clinging to 8% unemployment and one trillion dollar deficits on the domestic front, and sending signals that he will abandon Israel and bow to Russian demands if re-elected. That's the point. You're more than welcome to cling to 8% unemployment, $4/gallon gasoline, one trillion dollar deficits, and abandoning our most important ally in the Middle East, but most of the rest of America have had enough with this administration's incompetence as you will witness on Election Night.

Hang on... did you just basically copy and paste that from somewhere else? Do you have a stump post?

Considering how bad you are at reading 'tea leaves', I'd be deeply impressed if you could show how Israel has been abandoned?

The deficits will be there... no matter who wins. The GOP House is too dogmatic to do anything serious about it. The difference is, Romney needs to cow-tow to these people... or he'll have a hell problem in 2016. They'll expect him to fix it... but won't allow him to do anything that might work. I'm fully expecting him to lose, but if he does win, it'll be in spite of him being the nominee and he'll probably have a disappointing and anxiety-ridden term.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

So you haven't answered my question... a mix of your interpretations and talking points without a basis in fact.

You are aware what the Romney Budget plan, what little of we know would do to the deficit and debt? The Congress knows there would be a public revolt if they attempted to cuts service levels down to the point they would need to be to pay for $4 trillion more tax cuts. So all that does is add to both.

If you have an economic reform plan that doesn't include revenue raising to any degree, then you aren't serious about fixing an economy. You just want to cut taxes.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

The central achievement of the Romney Administration will be tax reform. We'll downgrade all of the marginal rates by 20% and eliminate deductions that only benefit lawyers/accountants in order to ensure tax receipts do not fall too much in the short-run. Here is a good paper on the issue: http://www.nber.org/feldstein/wsj08282012.pdf

Spending that can be cut or transferred onto the states will be cut or transferred onto the states. Obviously it needs to be done in such a way that we do not cause a recession.

Hey guys, an adviser to the Romney campaign with magic numbers he made up himself in a two page paper says the plan will work!

If you want the next four years to look like the past four years, by all means vote to give Obama four more years. Otherwise, you may want to reconsider...

If the ONLY evidence you have to attest that Romney will do anything other than blow out the deficit and debt further, is a puff piece by a Romney Campaign adviser and disciple of trickle-down... then you've already lost the argument.
