>> thanks to both of you as always. coming up, mike huckabee is now trying to drag president obama into the "duck dynasty" debate saying the president had the same opinions on gay marriage in 2008 as the "duck dynasty" patriarch phil robertson. never mind he said african-americans were better off before civil rights. plus what makes rand paul think he can broaden the gop tent? something the republicans have been unable to do in the last six elections. and they flood our mailboxes and mantles, those impersonal holiday greeting cards. tonight we'll meet someone who's had enough. finally, let me finish with something you might want to talk about over christmas dinner. this is "hardball," the place for politics.
