Astounding. nobody sent any democrats to washington to cut these three. what the hecks going on in caucus? >> in some cases there is a real separation from real america in terms of the perceptions that exist in the congress. we sought today, by the way, ed, something that was really extraordinary. the american people took on the bank of america, the largest financial institution in this country and they beat them. and they beat them because millions of people said, enough is enough. you people c...

This or explain it. the problem stems back to august when the democrats reached, and the president reached an absurd agreement with the republicans who were threatening not to lift the debt ceiling and cause an international financial crisis. in my view, what the president should have done there is say, im sorry, were not going to enter into an absurd agreement, were going to use the 14th amendment of the constitution, were going to pay our debts and if you want to take me to court, you do it. b...

Iowa in the next few days. you are going to see a full-blown campaign to the kind that i always wanted to rufnlt we are beginning to get our rhythm. i think we will be one step at a time because this is a very substantive campaign. what i am doing is different from any other candidate, except maybe reagan in our lifetime. i am trying to develop an idea-oriented, solution-oriented campaign. the contract for america is a pretty long document. it is not the kind of thing that campaign consultants w...
