president who thinks that we need a government that needs to help people live their lives. we have to, you know, have individual responsibility. would you say that you align yourself with the philosophy of the tea party movement? i consider myself to be a little bit more establishment. so, i mean, i haven t really studied the tea party movement that much. so i won t say that i am directly in line with all of the their philosophies, but i definitely agree with smuf their beliefs. i want to come back to philosophy in a moment. last week three things happened. we had the president s remarks in falls church, virginia. he referred to some people. he travelled to the auto show and said some people would want to see detroit go bankrupt, and then we had the national prayer breakfast in which the president said some people may not be as concerned about the poor. that interview that mitt romney had on cnn saying i m not concerned about the very poor. there s a seeshl safety net.
2010 was the amount of uprisings in primaries that defeated candidates who were selected by the republican establishment as being the go-to figures. senator bennet in utah was overthrown in a statewide convention in favor of mike lee, who now serves as senator for that state and famously in delaware, mike cassel, a moderate republican who everyone thought would coast to victory was upset in the primary by christine o donnell. the question or is that same dynamic in play two years later? if the republican base trusts newt gingrich or mitt romney to continue to lead the party. we saw this in the debate thursday night on fox. here is bachmann, i think, very effectively pressing the case against newt gingrich. essentially making the case that like tea party insurgents made against senator bennet and senator cassel, he s imbedded in the corrupt culture of
