what happened with president obama s health care system has not worked. premiums are going up. prices are going up. people are getting worse coverage. prices are going across the board. this is not what is going to work. chip, give it a year before you put those talking points in place because the plan hasn t been implemented yet. the bigger issue is watching the republic right wing so dominate the republic party. mitt romney who says he wants to deport 11 million immigrants. newt gingrich saying he wants to overturn the supreme court. where do they get their history lessons from michele bachmann? the history lesson comes from 2008 when the progressive party took over the democratic party. right? actually, quite to the contrary. there is no pressure from the left wing to president obama. that s because the pipeline. no problem from the left wing stopping the pipeline in this last jobs bill. none at all. the left wing dominates the president obama. that s why it s been a strug
lose independent voters and lose all credibility in this process. chip, why is he writing this is real simple. greg: go ahead. this is real simple and i will spell it out for robert because i know in washington sometimes it gets lost in the shuffle. you spell it out for me. i m in new york. new york. they think mitt romney is going they know barack obama can t be reelected based on what barack obama has done. they have to muddy the waters. whether it s mid romney and newt gingrich or whoever. they are starting that process right now. chip you know and i know. des moines register and start muddying the waters. they can t win on merit. politics is not a referendum. politics is a choice. it s going to be a choice between president obama and what he puts forward in the agenda and the republic agenda, which is to go back to the bush economy. all right, guys. if the choice is what barack obama has done the last four years i will take that choice. we win next novem
street journal reported on a 2006 newsletter showing gingrich actually praised roment any s health care plan saying, quote, the health bill that governor romney signed into law this month has tremendous potential to affect major change in the american health system. we agree entirely with governor romney and massachusetts legislators that our goals should be 100% insurance coverage for all americans. well, today gingrich dismissed the report as old news and explained why he changed his mind. the difference between romney and me is i have concluded i m prepared to say publicly i concluded as well as the heritage foundation did that idea didn t work. romney is still defending the mandate that he passed. greg: with us robert zimmerman a strategist and member of the democratic national committee. joining us from las vegas, gosh knows what he is doing there chip saultzman who managed mike huckabee s 2008 presidential campaign. i want to go to you first, chip. will this flip flop hurt new
not be the best one. in iowa there is one other contradiction that you have to remember here, greg. the american republic conservative side of the politic saying they want an outsider. here in iowa the caucuses are run and the caucus goers are themselves deeply involved in politics. the median age is 6 a years old. many of these people have been to caucuses year after year after year and they want to see iowa pick a winner. they are not necessarily looking always for ideology. a large portion of folks want to see somebody who can then go out and capture the nomination. half of the time the iowa caucus winner has gone on to the nomination. that s what s what they are looking for this time. a lot of people have concerns whether ron paul can carry that ball. greg: thanks again. even hearing in that soft voice i learned a lot. steve as well. newt gingrich a critic of mitt romney s massachusetts health care law. was apparently however, once a fan. we will explain. later, why are some de
question. but he flip flopped to the right side of where the voters are on this. they don t like big government health care systems like what happened in massachusetts. they certainly don t like obama care. i think what speaker gingrich left out is oh what a difference a campaign year makes. this is campaign election flip flop for speaker gingrich. that s what you are going to see happening. chip, difference pressure comes from the extreme right wing makes. the issue here is here. chip, minnesota mitt romney, newt gingrich and the whole team they are so desperately trying to appeal to the extreme right wing of their party they re losing all credibility. as we know the mandate was initially a conservative principle. that was articulated by orrin hatch and defended by the heritage foundation amongst other leading republic organizations. i think what conservatives will tell you is they are trying to figure out solutions to many of the health care problems. what happened in massachuset
