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!

Outrage

This book should be a must for all Americans as it reveals just how we are being ripped off, particularly by our elected representatives. No one (except Bill O'Reilly) is looking out for us.

A Chronicle of governmental outrages and solutions.

I found this book to be a mixed bag.
On one hand the authors documented the outrageous spending and ethical violations in Washington. They offer some sensible solutions. On the other hand their validation of domestic spying is questionable.

On Immigration they use the 9/11 high-jackers as an effective example of how visas sometimes shouldn't be issued and that visitors that overstay their visas have to be dealt with more effectively.

The chapter on the internal A.C.L.U. battle and the behavior of Mr. Romero (which is very J.Edgar Hooveresque) was mind-boggling!

The authors advocate the idea that Congress and Senators should work for minimum wage. This is fantasy, but it sounds good!! It's hard to argue for the ridiculous, self-serving, abbreviated work schedule of Congress. The authors are totally on point.

The pharmaceutical companies and their relationships with health care professionals in over-medicating patients is an issue that deserves more public scrutiny.

The authors serve up many examples of family members of Senators and Congressmen making the easy money as lobbyists.

They document the U.N. scandals very well. Particularly the Oil-For-Food scam. The authors listed the many beneficiaries of bribery. I disagree with their solution and would propose instead that the U.S.A. shut down and expel the United Nations.

I don't agree with the authors' positive attitude toward the PATRIOT ACT. There has to be a better way than giving up civil liberties and advocating the monitoring of internet usage or library reading lists. I am skeptical of the "thwarted terrorist activities" outlined in the book. By their very nature these cases would be difficult to detail. Spying isn't something any government is going to rush to admit. We are left as citizens to trust and believe what the Bush administration leaks to the public.

Overall "Outrage" is written quite well, although with a conservative twist.

Semi-interesting, semi-professional, decent book

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.
