2010: Take Back America: A Battle Plan [Hardcover]

Dick Morris (Author), Eileen McGann (Author)

Book Description

Release date: April 13, 2010

Casting your vote in the november 2010 election may be the single most important thing you do all year.

Because these elections Will be the critical turning point for america’s future.

They’re our chance to take back america.

We stand at the crossroads of ideals and policies: freedom versus socialism; sovereignty versus international subservience; economic liberty versus debt slavery; quality medical care versus government-sponsored euthanasia; and private property versus confiscatory taxation.

All this depends on the answer to one question: Will Obama maintain his control of Congress?

To prepare us for this battle, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann have written 2010: Take Back America, their most important book yet. In Fleeced, they warned of the dangers of an Obama administration. In Catastrophe, they predicted his campaign to promote a socialist economy. And now, in this book, they offer a battle plan to take back America.

Morris and McGann explain the stakes -- permanent unemployment, rampaging inflation, international control of our economy, collapse of our manufacturing industry, European-style taxation levels, and a nation without quality medical care at any price.

They point out the targets -- the incumbent Democrats who are most vulnerable. They identify the races we must win and offer ammunition to do so. They examine the records of Harry Reid, Blanche Lincoln, Arlen Specter, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Barbara Boxer -- the key incumbent targets for 2010. And they tell you all the secrets these incumbents hope you won’t find out.

They outline a strategy for victory -- explaining the pitfalls and walking us through a path to winning control of Congress.

And then they tell us what we can do as individuals to defeat Obama -- how to go beyond the traditional work of donating, local campaigning, and voting, and build our own electronic precincts to get people engaged and spread the word between now and Election Day. Today politics is no longer a spectator sport; Morris and McGann explain how to get off the bleachers and get out on the field, using everything from e-mail to blogs, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter to get the message out.

The battle is coming. 2010: Take Back America is the basic training manual you need to win.

5.0 out of 5 stars "To Arms! To Arms!" While you still have them! April 13, 2010

By Dr.Charles Dusenbury

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

Better stock up on highlighter pens. This reviewer began to get writer's cramps from underlining important points; and that was just in the introduction.

The book is organized into three very concise parts: First, what is at stake for our nation's and our children's future if things are allowed to progess(ive) as they are now. Second, who within the Senate and the House of Representatives is subject to this year's electoral process. And third, the strategy for putting Congress into the hands of those who represent the values upon which America was founded and has thrived.

This reviewer was at a recent rally where an elderly lady held a handwritten sign that said, "For the first time in my life, I am afraid of my government". Thankfully, there is now a handbook, not for radicals, but for those who would take that fear, that anger and frustration, and turn it into positive, effective action to "Take Back America".

Dick Morris does it again. He is spot on and recognizes the danger that the Obama regime is doing to America. Yes it is scary what this administration is doing to erode our liberties but gives me the resolve to peacefully fight to retain my liberties.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent as Usual April 20, 2010

By Woodlandtrails

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

The book is broken into categories but the area concerning the next mortgage bubble was truly frightening. The FHA under Obama is doling out MORE AND MORE subprime mortgages setting up yet another disaster.

This added to the new financial bill Obama wants Congress to sign which does NOT include Fannie and Freddie as "too big to fail and take apart/sell off" is seriously BAD for taxpayers. Fannie/Freddie and now the FHA are endangering our country's financial health.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Important Election Ever May 13, 2010

By Gary P. Cohen

Format:Hardcover

Lets get this straight. If you think that Obama is doing a great job bankrupting this country so that he can start from scratch making the U.S. the socialist utopia hes always dreamed of, then this book isn't for you. If you have no problem with Obama's socialized medicine plan and the bribes and threats that were used to push it through despite the majority of Americans opposing it, then this book isn't for you. If multi-trillion dollar budgets, that your children and grandchildren will be paying for, don't bother you, then this book isn't for you. If cuts in medicare that people have paid into already and upcoming tax increases to pay for more and more entitlements, because Obama believes in the redistribution of wealth, don't concern you, then this book isn't for you. If the fact that two recent terrorist plots were foiled by average citizens, while, after the fact, the moronic head of Homeland Security bragged "the system worked" doesn't concern you either, than this book isn't for you.
However if you, like me, consider Obama to be the worst President in my lifetime and are disgusted in the Senate and House of Representatives being controlled by two individuals like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, then this book is for you. If you are sickened and depressed by the way this country is going, then this book is for you. If you don't want to see the U.S. degenerate into a third world type socialist dictatorship, then this book is for you. The only thing that can be done to prevent this from happening is for the Republicans to take back control of Congress in the 2010 elections. That is why it is the most important election day of my lifetime.
The first part of this excellent book recounts all of the Obama attempts to run our economy into the ground.... I won't go into them here, you already know them. There is also a small section on the Obama administration's lackluster "war" against terrorism.
The second part focuses on politicians who are vulnerable. In the Senate, theres Harry Reid of Nevada, the master of land deals and nepotism. He also focuses on one of my two terrible Senators, Kristin Gillibrand, who has literally expunged part of her own history to reinvent herself as an ultra-liberal. Then theres Barbara Boxer of California who recently berated a General for referring to her as Maam, rather than Senator and finally Arlen Specter, who jumped parties from the Republican to Democrat when it became apparent that he would lose a Republican primary battle. Morris than comments on a long list of Democrat Congressmen and women serving in Republican and Conservative districts, including my own Congressman, that can be beaten as well.
The final part of the book concerns what we, as concerned Americans, can do to spread the word and hopefully end the Democrat control of Congress next January.
This is a well-written book and should be required reading for all Americans. As stated previously, if you voted for Obama, Pelosi and Reid and do not regret it, you should steer clear of this book. However, if you are concerned about the future of this country for yourself, your children and grandchildren, grab this book right away and encourage others to read it. The election of 2010 is a little less than seven months away and a more important election day I cannot think of. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Focus on Beating the Democrats and Obama in 2010 April 27, 2010

By J. Groen VINE™ VOICE

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book focuses on how to beat the Democrats and Obama in the election of 2010. And, Dick Morris does an excellent job of laying out the strategy of how to do that.

The best part of the book is where he lays out the Democratic candidates in both the Senate and House and identifies their records and their weaknesses. As usual, Dick Morris does an excellent job of laying out the facts regarding each candidate doing this in some detail for the targeted Senators and then in not as much detail for the targeted representatives.

Harry Reid's record, as appropriate, is laid out as a true hypocrite - a poster boy for the Democratic party. He has called others as flip floppers, but he is the top flip flopper of them all. His only focus is on helping his constituents, who are by the way not the voters of Nevada but the individuals who give to his campaign. One group stands out quite clear as a supporter of Harry Reid and vice versa, the gambling owners of Las Vegas, especially MGM/Mirage - back scratching each other all the way to the bank on the tax payers dime. His ethics also stink, with his nepotism with his sons and son in law in lobbying groups, the bridge that the Feds paid for to his property to raise the price, etc. This guy deserves to be voted out of office.

Then there are others - Blanche Lincoln - a pretend blue dog who is really a liberal; Gillibrand from New York, who changes her position so much that it is hard to figure out where she stands. However, with regard to Gillibrand, we do know that she was the lawyer to the largest tobacco company and helped them get a better result in the law suit with Minnesota. She's another hypocrite. Then, there's Arlen Specter - the Democrats are truly proud of this turncoat.... He went from a centrist to an individual whose voting record is one of the most liberal in the Senate. Finally, in the Senate, Dick focuses on Barbara Boxer, a true liberal. For all the Senate candidates, Dick focuses on the facts and why they need to leave. I only regret that I won't be able to vote against any of these hypocrites in the next election.

The bottom line in the Senate, Dick believes, is that the Republicans can pick up at least 8 seats and probably as many as 10 in November, 2010, thereby winning back the Senate.

On the House side, Dick targets the Democratic hypocrites who call themselves blue dogs, criticizing the deficit spending of the Bush years, and then proceeding to vote on the largest deficits of all time. I won't go through the specifics here, but I must say that it makes for interesting reading and a must read for all voters in November, 2010. These guys and gals said they were fiscally resposible and got on their stoops criticizing the Republicans (rightfully so, I might add) but then voted the most fiscally irresponsible set of pork laden garbage that ever came out of Washington - the so-called "stimulus" bill of February, 2009. It is, as Dick says, time to vote them out! And, the bottom line in the House, Dick thinks, is that the Republicans will pick up 39 seats and "fire Nancy Pelosi".

At the end, Dick suggests some strategies for how to position the campaigns. I really like the suggestion that the Republican candidates make this an election against Barack Obama and his policies. In this instance, Dick goes down the list of Barack Obama's failures, and states that if the Obamacare bill passes (since this was finished before that bill passed), it will be one of the largest failures of his presidency. Again, Dick only deals with the facts in making this case, and it is very strong.

This is an excellent book for an conservative who has struggled with the stupidity in Washington, DC that has occurred since January, 2009 and it provides hope for the future - a future where the Democrats don't run the Congress and then hopefully, a future where Barack Obama is no longer President.
