didn't know what he was talking about.

I have watched Dick Morris for years and like the way he analyzes politics but he sure doesn't know anything about the stock market and the mortgage mess.

I got the feeling I was reading a bunch of off the wall bull when in Chapter 8 he calls Christopher Dodd and Barney Frank "courageous and heroic" in taking on the banks for their .... ATM Fees!!!

When he gets to the chapter on the Sub Prime Mortgage mess he never mention those two buffoons who should be duck walked into the nearest prison for what they did... taking money from bankrupt mortgage companies "Wamu" and putting gay lovers in charge of affordable housing at Fannie Mae. Instead he blames Loan Officers for writing bad loans to people the Congress and President Clinton forced Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make loans to.

Don't believe me... Google "Affordable Housing Initiatives" and see for yourself.

I stopped reading at this point... no reason to fill my head with a lot of inaccurate rantings from Mr. Morris.

5.0 out of 5 stars FLEECED July 25, 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have watched Dick Morris before so I decided to read his book. It is just hard to believe how the politicians are selling us down the road and we are paying for it with our tax dollars. The everyday citizen would be arrested and jailed for what they receive a paycheck for. As a senior citizen and a Vietnam Vet I am not only saddened, but very scared of the immediate future. Whats happening to the United States is certainly not what I fought for. Dick Morris's book is very informative about whats going on TODAY and I have randomly checked some of what I read and found it to be true. This is a must read for everyone that plans to vote! God help us all......

5.0 out of 5 stars Spot on Dick Morris. June 24, 2008
Format:Hardcover
Let me start out by saying I'm not convinced Dick Morris is a right wing anything. After all he served President Clinton during his administration. I suspect that what is happening is that individuals are aligning themselves as Conservatives and Liberals regardless of party names.

Fleeced is an indictment of large government and idiotic ideas and not a lambasting of democrats or petting of republicans. Whether it's a Congress who can't or won't get anything done or a government that is so grid locked that neither sides wants to give in first, Fleeced deals with the problem in an even handed way. Dick Morris is a consumate insider in Washington. I find his reasoning to be dead on.

Morris contends that 425 terrorists have been released from Gitmo and that 50 of those have been retaken or killed in Iraq. I heard that the figure was close to 100. I suspect the time lag is at work here, but the fact of the matter is that many of the detainees are infact combatants...perhaps all of them.

Is Fleeced a right wing manifesto? No. Morris is very even handed in his criticism. He indicts McCain for not showing up for his day job just as hard at he slams Clinton and Obama. He goes after all of Congress, Democtat and Republican.

I still have some reading to do to finish Fleeced. I've bounced around from chapter to chapter. Suffice it to say that if you're not upset after reading Fleeced I can't imagine why.

I highly recommend Fleeced to anyone who cares for this country.

Peace always

3.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete book.
"Fleeced" is a little too heavy on opinion and a little too light on data.

Yup, it proves liberals would rather burn books than read them. Instead of Din your nickname should be Dim as in Dimwit!

Dick Morris, What can you say
I think it would be shocking if we saw true critical analysis of some of the assertions in this book rather than the typical right/left name calling. If either side thinks it has a corner on the truth then this country is in serious trouble. All this and similar blogs demonstrate is our inability... Read more

Good points in this book about how certain companies are helping bad Iran!
Actually Malaki, it was not the US that gave Iraq WMD's it was France and Russia, we only gave Iraq conventional weaponry. Course you probably get all your info from CNN and Moveon so you wouldnt know truth if if bit you in the posterior.
