Years? its amazing. >> when i became chairman of the party there, we hadnt elected a governor since the state was occupied by federal troops. thats not a long-term winning strategy. at a certain point the troops leave. then you got to win a free election. we were the last state to elect a republican governor since the civil war in the country and not just in the south. it can turn around very quickly. we went from that -- >> now you guys control politics in the state of georgia. >> state house, ...

I do think that the republicans have a big challenge, whoever the messenger is because of the paradigm of me densy politics. i dont care, race, gender, ethnicity. free stuff is seductive. there were probably great messengers politically in greece. they were all about achievement before the country went down. they achiefed a lot and invented a lot. the more seductively the politicians promise things its tough to resist. even hardworking people the will eventually stop and say why am i being fisca...

Rand paul, allen west, and wayne lapierre. now im sure well have one that will have you and dana definitely wanting to go hear the great orator, rick perry is going to speak. what do you think, angela? >> whoo! just kidding. first and foremost, we have to talk about what is going on with the gop. the gop has, i think, a three-fold problem. its the message. its the messengers and the audienced audience is the person people who dont care to hear what theyre talking about, whether its on cpac or fo...

It wasnt except for a few cases bad messengers, we didnt resonate with the hard-working people around this country. we fight too much for taxpayers for the wealthy, we look like we fight for loopholes for big corporations and weve lost our way fighting for average hard-working blue collar americans. and thats where we have to change. not the players per se. although there are new players like a tim scott from south carolina, which is a great new player for the republican party. >> i dont think h...
