finally get the message. the extent of the victory was a surprise. we are tired of eric cantor. we are tired of the things he was doing. sometimes tblght national spotlight. bill: lry sabato from the university of virginia. mark mekler has connections to the tea party. i want to go through three quick points. larp are you, the tea party, some wins so far in the primary season and some terrible losses. people are talking about the tea party. i don t know if that s true or not. but they are suggesting that s the case. no national tea party groups got behind brat. so what does that tell us? where does that leave us on the issue of the tea party? this is a patch work of local
he was under pressure going into the race as he had not reached victory lane all season. let s talk politics. the upcoming mid-term elections are taking on a new look as the investigations continue to rock the obama administration from the irs probe to the benghazi scandal. jehmu greene is here and mark mekler the founder of citizens for the self governing. let s start, though. what are your colleagues saying
but they can t. off fen we can without government. so, as we begin what can we do if we disagree with president obama s big government vision? mark mekler has ideas. he has the group called citizens for self governance. rose is vice president of the labor tearilibertarian gold waw institute. start with obama care. states shall establish health insurance exchanges if they don t do it the government will do it for them. several states said go ahead force a policy on your own we are not going to do it. you have to implement your own laws. it protects businesses and they re states from fines. it stops massive subsidies and on to the irs.
we ll come back and talk a little bit more about this later. let us go you know that s what they re saying! good thing it s romney. a little political tidbit for you as a system we all know and love continues to struggle to actually revive itself in a sense. between 2002 and 2008, an incumbent politician was more likely to die in office than be defeated in a primary election. that is how uncompetitive our competitive democracy has become when it comes to candidate selection. that is one of the reasons behind the launch of the campaign for primary accountability, which is being led in part by mark mekler, who is back with an update on that effort. the statistics can who fi you. mark, you dug so deep you decided to make your efforts
i don t think we ll hit it before the 2012 election, but i think we could hit it after. with efforts from the two of you, we ll certainly elevate the temperature and i hope create roads for a graceful transition which is where we ll leave this. thank you very much, mark, thank you ari. food for thought. we have no choices but to deal with this. we get to choose obviously how we deal with it. i love the ideas of these two general. whether you particularly love the campaign for primary accountability, which i m very impressed by and i m advocating, doesn t matter. you can form your own organization. doesn t point is if we are making our primaries competitive, that is the single greatest resistance as a people we could conjure to a status quo that has taken it withis countr granted based on our disengagement and it is our engagement however disgusted that will get us out of here. thank you guys.
