doubt, had this advice for democrats on gun control on nbc. let s listen. you want to get something done, stop scaring people. don t say we re keeping a registry of all of the guns. stop it. it is not scaring people. others are saying who s doing the scaring, gun advocates are ones doing the scaring. who is doing the scaring? i think both sides are trying to scare the other, whether it is nra using nanny state bloomberg message or sometimes you see the republicans say yes, they re going to take guns away. the fact of the matter is this law will probably pass when it comes to background checks. the sadder part is that senator reid didn t allow a vote on assault weapons before break. that s the biggest issue in this legislation or supposed legislation that michael bloomberg is looking for. will they probably come to a compromise? yes. is michael bloomberg on the
he knows how to scare us. he does. and he has he s been in washington long enough to know how this game is played, once his republican congressman now, and democratic presidents on transportation, but look, the truth is that the cuts as they end up. they start out very small and they do build over time, but the scaring that they re talking about, the things they re talking about are based on decades, that this would be law for a decade that this would go on and on and on and we d never have another budget in the next decade and never be any break to this divided government and impasse on fiscal matters. so they can use these big scary numbers and keep people going that way. but the truth is we re really just fighting about, i mahate to say this, we re fighting on the 27th of march not the 1st of march, and funding the government in the absence of a budget expires, all this scare tactics and all of this posturing that s going to take place between now and then is

about organizing, fund-raising, using the web. kinds of things that obama excelled at in 2008, basically it s a debt and deficit and scaring grandma. if they don t get their message out there and somehow convince people that obama s path is lower standards of living for the american people, scaring grandma is more powerful. paul: so don t get lost in the weeds and autistic children are going to be in the streets, but go fight back on debt and deficit and growth? i think basically they have to fight back on the condition of the economy. look, paul, that speech and things you just described, i not only is he going to run on it. i think its fairly potent strategy to run on.
