Dick Morris Comes Out and Says It

Dick Morris on Sean Hannity, 2/28/11:

We may at long last have a way to liberate our nation from the domination of those who should be our public servants but instead are frequently our union masters and free our politics from their financial power…What is at stake here really is freeing our schools so that we could keep good teachers and fire bad ones, freeing our state government so we don’t have high local taxes (and exactly how are those good teachers going to be paid?) and obliterating the financial power base of the Democratic Party.




The money quote is underlined above. This attack on collective bargaining is not about helping kids. It’s about establishing what amounts to a one-party system. Eliminate the power of unions and the G.O.P., with its corporate backing, gets to run things pretty much unopposed.

These people do not grasp the most basic principle of an open society – equal access to the political process as a voter and as a candidate.

Conservatives don't desire an oligarchy.

Dude...

Deregulation didn't cause the crisis.

Duuuude.....

Pfff hahaha! Now I see. You live in a parallel universe a hundred trillion light years away... Or just a nanometer away from us, but in both cases one that the rest of us can't touch. :D

Quantum observation.

Gotcha.

It all makes sense now. This is how he's able to convey his messages via the Internet. While energy and matter may not be able to pass between dimensions from his universe into ours, no one said the same about information. Hence, the messages. :)

Physically passing through wormholes could be a pretty tricky business. Unless you like spaghetti.

Ya know ladies,. there is an awful lot of "he said/ she said" stuff going on here, and nobody is using much that resembles facts. So I had to waste valuable time, when I could have been re-reading HP, to look stuff up....unfortunately I got stuck on wiki, and I think you are all right, and very possibly completely wrong.

This perfectly proves the above expressed assertion that the truth could have many faces, depending on the observer's point of view. ;)

It's one of those quantum things, isn't it?

I confess, my head swelled a bit being cited as proff :D
