from what i ve heard and read about his record he is a very moderate republican. by republican standards. and the thinking he is would operate things more of the status quo than anything of major change. in fact, quoting from the new york times, california of moderate temperment says the new york times who is likely to be preserver of the status quo, and loyal to john boehner. i guess this internal battle of who the republican party is continues. it absolutely does. and kevin mccarthy was part of the leadership team been under house speaker john boehner for the last couple of years and also has been for increasing stem visas for signs and math people to come to the united states. that would have to be
jersey s largest companies. you know, i don t think chris christie has done his job at all. new jersey is ranked 41st in the country with an unemployment rate of 8.5%. but, of course, by republican standards, they would say that s pretty lousy. but in the midst of the tea party-led government shutdown, even the more radical republican hopefuls see an opportunity to sell themselves as the voice of reason. christy isn t the only republican governor whose positioning himself to become the next star of the party. case in point, wisconsin governor, scott walker. walker nearly broke his arm patting himself on the back in an op-ed in the washington post today. he wrote, our state face the big problems. we were at a turning point so together the legislature and i worked to fix the economic and fiscal crisis, holding wisconsin back. walker fails to mention that the state has actually just been
side and that did the difference, basically. huckabee: so you were a part of whatu was often called the blue dog democrats. conservative were areas. yes. huckabee: i guess by republican standards, a moderate, by democratic standards, ridiculously conservative. is there more place for a conservative democrat in the party any more? i hope there s a place on both sides. it s not just the democrats. if you look at what the republicans did in 2010 with internet candidate seats that they easily would have won including maybe nevada, they nominated candidates that couldn t win. theyb a democrats are in dangerf making thacrt same mistake. when you have a congress that s made up of the extremes, and i get asked all the time why is there so much par sanshi partisn congress. it s easy. we electric partisans. for most americans, they re not thinking about politics every day. they don t live and breathe it. it s the equivalent of the like gymnastics team where they think about it for two we

attacking him for acknowledging this deed was done, a major act of foreign policy that was incapable the previous administration was incapable of performing. even by republican standards, barack obama has done something extraordinary that george bush could not do that they indicate was necessary for them to be seen successfully. now romney is notรง only arguin against obama, but the moral trajectory of his own party. he is also arguing against some of his own language. look at this we look around the world today, we see a muddled picture of american s foreign policy and our power. obama has adopted an appeasement strategy. it portrays a lack of faith in america. if you don t want america to
