Which Of These Things Is Not Like The Other?

This column by Dick Morris is just...weird. His stated intent is to explain how George Bush's successes have inevitably reinvigorated Democratic issues, but this is what ends up coming out (italics mine):

A big part of the reason is the success the Bush administration has had in solving and hence diminishing the importance of the Republican agenda. Taxes have been cut, we have not had a terror attack since Sept. 11 and trial lawyers are on the defensive.

So those were the three ideological prongs of the Republican Party? Lower taxes, win the War on Terror, and demonize trial lawyers? Bizarre.

Not to mention the fact that tax cuts without concommitant spending cuts are in fact tax increases for our children.

That trial lawyer jab IS weird! What's Dick's beef?

I can't decide if Morris has them rank-ordered from biggest to smallest threat to the Republic, or the other way round.

Dick Morris is just weird period, and his influence on Bill Clinton was the weirdest part of that administration. My problem with his column was that it inferred that the Democratic Party is anywhere near the "left".
