conservative base and what he is willing to do or not do. right. it is very easy to excite the base with incendiary comments. we saw throughout the campaign if you are following say really outrageous things accusative and attacking president obama that you are going to jump up in the polls. you know, i m not willing to light my hair on fire to try to get support. i am who i am. rich whard, he is not willing to light his hair on fire. good old flip-flopper here around there and a little distortion but not going to set his hair on fire. he says other people have gone up in the polls by attacking president obama. his entire stump speech is about attacking the president. he has not been shy about wade nothing that and saying the most incredible things. he says the president has declared a war on religion. he doesn t have a problem doing that if you are not going to
44% of republicans are not satisfied with candidates. that has to speak to some kind of fear and at least some anguish in your party. is not that surprising because republicans have an been attacking republicans. the super pacs have actually been not that great for republicans because they have been spending all their money attacking each other in very personal terms. one thing that mitt romney has not done, i m not supporting mitt romney necessarily, but he has not attacked the president in personal terms. he has disagreed with him, but he has been very measured in his i think very respectful of the president, which i think will help him in the general election. i don t know what you call accusing you the president of a war on religion is. maybe he did it in a respectful way, but come on. that s not that you know what that s not that bad? really? he is not setting his fair hare on fire. wait a minute to attack someone s religion and to attack someone s values not per

on soul train. all right. e.j. dionne. they say that president obama s a muslim, but if he isn t he s a secularist who is waging war on religion. some days he s a nazi, but most others he s merely a socialist. his especially creative opponents see him as an anti-colonial world view while the less adventurous say he spent too much time in academic precincts. whatever our president is, he s never allowed to be a garden variety american who plays basketball and golf and has a remarkably old-fashioned family life in the manner we regularly recommend it to our kids. got ahead by getting a good education. please forgive this outburst. it s simply astonishing that a man in his fourth year as our president continues to be the object of the most extraordinary paranoid fantasy. we have people on this show yeah. and in the race that can t even say he s a christian.
