Product Description
Dick Morris and Eileen McGann are outrage—and you should be, too! - Half of all illegal immigrants came into this country legally—and we have no way of knowing they're still here!
- Congressmen are putting their wives on their campaign payrolls!
- The UN is a cover for massive corruption!
- Drug companies pay off doctors to write scrips—whether we need them or not!
- Teachers unions block the firing of bad teachers—and battle against higher education standards!
- Katrina victims are being stiffed by their insurance companies!
- Special interests cost our consumers $45 billion through trade quotas that save only a handful of jobs!
Unaware of these abuses? It's not surprising since the mainstream media don't talk about them. Too many powerful people are working very hard to cover them up. But in Outrage, New York Times bestselling authors Dick Morris and Eileen McGann give you the cold, hard facts you won't read about anywhere else—and offer tough, common-sense proposals on how to fight the special interests of the left and right . . . so we can start making these outrageous inequities things of the past!

 A man worth listening to. September 27, 2008
If you follow Politics and Current Affairs,and more importantly if you watch Fox News,you are familiar with Dick Morris. Dick published this book a year ago and since that time he has published another blockbuster "Fleeced".
Dick knows Politics as well as anyone else around;and he tells it like it is.Even Bill O'Reilly stops and listens to Dick, even when he disagrees with him.
In this book, Dick addresses many of the "Outrages" that are being bantered around these days, as the Federal Election is in full swing.
Last evening ,O'Reilly was ranting,along with many others,that nobody,either elected politicians,those charged with the responsiblity to oversee the financial markets,or the financial institutions themselves ;warned of the financial mess we were heading into.
Well,O'Reilly was wrong,Morris,for one, warned us in spades, and it's all spelled out in this book in chapter 4,The 2006 Congress,chapter 8,Fannie Mae,and chapter 9 ,The Bankruptcy Bill.
There is an old ,but wise adage,that has never been more true than today;
"Never let the dog watch your food and never let the Government watch
your money."
If you really want to know what the real truth behind many of the issues,or as Morris calls them "OUTRAGES",read what he has to say on:
Illegal Immigration
United Nations
Congressional Ripoffs
Student Loan Overcharges
Tobacco Companies
ACLU
Education and Teacher's Unions
Katrina Ripoffs
Special Interest Trade Protection
This is a book that should be read by all Americans,Democrats,Republicans,Independents;and even Canadians. The reason I include Canadians is for the simple reason that the same issues are prevalent in Canada.Except for one thing,there is no TV Network in Canada that gives balanced reporting.The National TV network,CBC,is Government run and unargueably highly Left-Wing biased. Also,there is no writer publishing books anything nearly balanced as what we get from Dick Morris.
One good example is a recent event with our Socialized Medical system that the Goverment and Media hold up as a great solution.
Last week,in Winnipeg,Manitoba,a man without legs in a wheelchair,was dropped off in the Hospital Emergency Room. He was not given any attention until 34 hours later,when finally someone checked him.He was dead and rigormortis had already set in.Our Socialized Medicine is filled with stories like this,long waits for beds in hospitals,tens of thousands who cannot find a Family Doctor,and despite this ;there is no "OUTRAGE" --just promises from the Government and Politicians of all stripes ,that they are going to fix it. And that's what you get when you have Socialized Medicine and half of all the Government's Budget is spent on the system.
Outrage by Dick Morris September 2, 2008
I have not finished this book yet but it is one I feel everyone should read before they vote in the November elections. I want to say---------WAKE UP AMERICANS----the lobbyist and special interest groups are in control of Congress and the laws that are made. Both parties are equally at fault over the lobbyist problem and earmarks inserted in bills. The economy will always have problems when our politicians make promises and vote to enhance their own power and wealth instead of voting for what is best for the majority of citizens in this country.
A Balanced Look At Outrageous Behavior September 1, 2008
'Outrage' outlines a wide range of horrible conduct by Congress, corporations, and others.
Dick Morris reveals treachery and incompetence by Congress (both Republicans and Democrats), the president, the United Nations, pharamaceutical companies, the teachers' unions, Fannie Mae, the news media, and others. In addition to pointing out the problems, he offers some solutions.
Some of the most revealing sections include the following:
Congress - The evils catalogued in this section are numerous and perpetrated by both parties. Some of the issues are corruption (selling votes for campaign contributions), automatic pay raises, inappropriate relationships (financial) with lobbyists, and more. He names names and several are very prominent including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, and many more. One of the outrages is the way that leaders of both parties circled the wagons to prevent an FBI investigation of bribery by a member of 'the club' (William Jefferson, D-LA).
Illegal immigration is another outrage. Our inept federal government has no tracking of those who leave the country so there is no way to tell who has overstayed visa times. How pathetic is that! Another issue is that many visas are issued when they should not be (as in the case of 15 out of 19 of the 9/11 terrorists).
There are many more of these abuses. Some of those exposed include: student loans, tobacco companies, insurance scams, and the ACLU.
One section that is highly educational that needs to be understood by everyone is the chapter on trade protection. Morris does a superb job of schooling readers in the benefits of free trade and the damage done by protectionism.
This book should be read by every American voter.
 Semi-interesting, semi-professional, decent book August 7, 2008
The book makes good and valid points, however much of it is filled with statistics, graphs, and long lists not many would be willing to wade through. It is very simply written, easy to read, but unfortunately mixes fact with opinion. The annoying "action agendas" at the end of each chapter were seriously annoying just because they are all the same and involve nothing more than common sense exhortations. Really not much I did not know already in here, and I probably would not buy another Morris book, although I'll watch him on Hannity and Bill O.
 Student Loan Overcharges, Tobacco Companies, Trade Protection? Huh? August 2, 2008

I'll never forget when Morris was forced out of his pollster job in the Clinton Administration after reports of drug use and depraved sexual activity, including engaging in S&M activity with a prostitute and singing "Popeye the Sailor Man" to her on a hotel balcony in his underwear. It's good to see that he's recovered from that shameful episode. He has now entered into a highly lucrative career stringing long lists of random, unrelated issues like Obama, United Nations, John Cusak, tobacco companies, lobbyists for foreign governments, drug companies, John Kerry, Madeline Albright, etc., and creates these delightful book titles out of them and fills the pages inside with his highly informative analysis of how liberals are to blame for everything that is wrong in America. Even though he was publicly exposed as a depraved sexual deviant during his Clinton job, Morris nonetheless makes valid points about how liberals have destroyed the moral fabric of this great nation.
