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.

You didn't say one thing that illuminated exactly why her use of the word is wrong, or why her examples are wrong, and then capped it off with a zinger! Well played.

Well I couldn't very well speak for Jeff could I?

I'm sorry, I'm really tired, and was trying to make myself laugh. I'll just excuse myself for the rest of the evening and go read a book or something.

(oh, but before I slink off, I will point out that from what a read about the Russian Oligarchy I really don't see it as the same, which explains my "zinger", which was actually only meant as a little tease.....we have got to have an evening in a Starbucks some time so we can learn each other's nuances :D)
