Good at reading polls. they understand the american people are deeply offended that the rich are getting richer while the middle class disappears. the republicans read the newspapers and they hear pope francis now talking about the moral elements of income and wealth inequality and theyre trying to give some rhetoric to addressing that. but at the end of the day, their actions speak a lot louder than their words. these are the guys that want to cut social security, medicare, medicaid, not raise ...

On a promise president obama should keep. >> keeping their health care plans. we have a republican strategist for american cross rods and richard, host of the richord fowler she. and defer to my lovely co-anchor and allow her to interrogate. >> i love the intros. thank you very much, bill. >> johnathon, past few weeks, republicans in congress called for bills so that president obama can fix his broken promise if you like your plan and you keep your plan. and now president clinton the democratic ...

Of that is going on. we agreed yesterday, harry reid came forward when we asked him to. we want to prevent veterans from seeing monuments so were going to fund all of that tomorrow. but actually, theyre doing it tonight. and well do it later tonight or in the morning. but were trying to fund government and theyre trying to stop any funding because they think it is a parlor game and they will win politically. it is an untenable position. >> i think it is untenable, everything you point out, all t...

John boehner. while the conventional wisdom is he will be weakened, he might be strengthened if he took a courageous stand. >> i agree with eleanor. it will happen this way. the rank and file republicans will begin to hear about it, whether its from wall street types or constituents back home, whether they begin reading polls. they will go to leadership and say, okay, now its time for you to start talking. thats when it will happen. boehner will only do it until and/or unless his rank and file t...

That actually support for stricter gun control has been sinking, and we always knew that trying to pass stricter gun control was going to be an uphill battle again democrats. wayne la pierre the head of the nra, the spokesperson, campaigned personally on behalf of harry reid back in 2010. harry reid from the very beginning opposed a ban on assault weapons, but what i think is the more interesting question is why the president is ratcheting up his campaign on gun control as public support for it ...

Cnn grossly underestimated the percentage of independents that are going to be here, the average puts this into perspective. these polls give us a tense of precision which they do not have. >> and reading polls, real clear average. this race is too close to call. how does romney strategicly close the deal in your opinion? >> i think by doing two things. at the convention he dialed up the explanation of who he was. mitt romney and ann romney both did that. and now, mitt romney and paul ryan keepi...

And its the same line up so i think he has the same hurdles, as a very moderate for a republican this time around. to be honest with you, i think the story getting lost is going back to the polling numbers that you showed on the president. you know, hes doing well among personality and doing poor among performance. and so what that means is trouble. he could do well and go on and be on dancing with the stars and come in second like kirstie alley but as you get closer to the election, people are ...

memorial day. on this national holiday, a heavy rush of politics. sarah palins mystery tour rolled into town. we dont know when she will appear because her aides will not tell us. her stops included ft. mchenry and shes being cagey on the subject of whether its a rolling civic lesson or a 2012 campaign. >> i believe there are many more people out there to add. competition breeds success. i would hope that there is going to be debate. >> also this day, president obama leads the traditio...

The deficit commission? why has he been talking more about money hes going to spend rather than cuts hes going to propose in is budget. it tell me hes reading polls and see swing voters care about one thing. republicans are in a bit of a box. base expects one thing, swing voters in the middle, which is who is going to decide the presidential election expect another thing. as our republican pollster put it, you sometimes wonder why does somebody jump off a cliff, you find out theyre being chased ...

Not surprising. since everybody is beating up on teachers unions from chris christie to barack obama. >> lets look at the budget fight in washington. our poll finds that the public is much more concerned that republicans and tea partyists may go too far. that doesnt surprise me a bit obviously republicans are more conservative, bigger cutters. thats pretty common sense right there. isnt it? >> it is. the bigger problems for republicans in this poll is their base says the number one or two issue ...
